Give Google the right picture of your business.
When someone searches for what you do, Google pulls from your Business Profile and your website. I make sure both are complete, correct and saying the same thing. No promises of page one, just the groundwork done properly.
Most people meet you on Google first.
Search for a local business on a phone and Google fills the screen with its listing: hours, photos, reviews, a call button and a link to the website. Behind that, it reads your website to work out what you do and where.
Both are easy to let slide. Hours go out of date, photos get old, reviews go unanswered, and the website tells Google very little. None of it is hard to fix. It just needs someone to sit down and do it properly.
Who this is for
Best fit
- Trades and local services who rely on people searching nearby
- Cafes, restaurants and food businesses whose hours, menu and photos need to be right
- Businesses with a listing that's out of date, half filled in, or not verified
- Websites that look fine but tell Google very little about the business
Not for
- Paid Google Ads campaigns
- Guaranteed rankings - nobody can honestly promise those
- Buying reviews or only asking the happy customers to leave one
No website yet? See starter website. Want it kept current every month? That fits into ongoing support.
What I sort out
Your Business Profile
Set up, claimed back or untangled, with the right hours, services, area covered and, for food, your menu.
Reviews and photos
Real photos in place of stock or old snaps - I can take them too - and a simple way to ask for reviews and reply to them.
On your website
Structured data (schema) so Google can read your hours, services and reviews, plus clear page titles and descriptions.
Checked and joined up
Search Console set up, pages indexed, and your website and listing saying the same thing.
What's included
Your listing and website, complete, correct and saying the same thing.
- A look at your listing and website, and what's missing or wrong
- Business Profile filled in properly: categories, services, area covered, hours and description
- Photos added or swapped, from you or from a shoot
- Structured data added or fixed, and page titles and descriptions tidied
- Search Console set up, your sitemap submitted and your pages checked
- A review request link, and a plain English note of what I changed
How it works
We start with a short chat and a look at your listing and website as they are now. I tell you what I'd change, and we agree it before I start.
You add me as a manager on your Business Profile, so it stays yours throughout. If you want it kept current after that - posts, hours, photos, review replies - that fits into ongoing support.
