Keeping Your Info Accurate
Google wants their searchers to be pleased with what they find. And that means Google wants your business info to be accurate, precise, and up to date.
Selecting the perfect category is a key element in your ability to rank well. I’ll optimize your Business Profile with the best categories, attributes, custom keyword rich description, precise map pin location, and more. From the major details to the finer points, me and my team have you covered. |
Google Will Reward Your Activity
Regularly uploading optimized and geo-tagged photos and graphics will create more engagement with your potential customers and help show Google who you are and what you do.
Also, textual posts announcing your hours of operation, special events, pricing changes, and more, will earn trust in your visitors and impress Google too. Most local business owners, such as yourself, are busy serving their customers. Understandably, they just don't have time to keep their Google Business Profile active. I'll do that for you. |

Engaging With Your Customers
When a customer leaves a positive review, potential new customers will be more inclined to give your business a chance.
Show customers that you’re listening, that you care, and create positive relationships by having me and my team respond to reviews and questions. But even the best companies sometimes receive negative reviews. We’ll help you stay on top of your reputation and work with you to turn negative reviews into a positive for your brand. |

Search Engine Results Page
It's important to spend time and energy getting your business into the space where it's noticed most.
Research has shown that most searchers will bypass the ads at the top of a search results page and go straight down to the Google Business Listings. Once there, most people will look at the top 3 businesses listed, click on one of them, check out the reviews and other info provided, and contact the company. A few people will then also take a look at the organic listings and possibly click through to a website. Your best strategy... FIRST: rank well in the business listing 3-pack SECOND: rank well in the organic listings THIRD: run an ad at the top of the page for total domination. |

What You Can Expect From Me
Excellent Customer Service
I'll be with you from day one, sharing honest direct communication and keeping you updated on everything I'm doing. Business-Minded MethodsWe understand that nothing we do matters if it doesn’t impact your bottom line. Our tactics and strategies are focused on getting you more leads, customers, and revenue because we know that’s what really matters. Personal AttentionThis is a very time-intensive work. Because of that, I refuse to take on more clients than I can handle at one time. I limit my clients to just a few per month so that everyone gets my absolute best. |
Finding the Solution
Whether it’s a Google bug, a spam attack from a competitor, or another unexpected issue, I will navigate the issue and find a solution. Experience
My strategies are based on years of experience and education. All tasks for your business listing are evidence-based and geared to your success in local search. High Ethical ValuesI work with ONLY ONE BUSINESS PER NICHE PER LOCATION to avoid competing with myself, or rather, to avoid one of my clients competing with another of my clients. It's just basic ethics and it's a line I won't cross. |

Some Frequently Asked Questions
"Can't I just do this myself?"
Yeah, sure, go for it. You can manage your listing but ask yourself, “how much is my time worth?” Staying up to date on Google’s changing guidelines, new feature releases, and constant bugs is a full time job. Not to mention the time it takes to keep your business listing optimized and ranking.
I've been studying this stuff for years. I will make sure your business is showing up in search results and converting searchers into customers. That frees you up to focus on operating your business and helping all of your new customers.

"How do I get started?"
Choose one of the 3 options above. Once you sign up for your Google Business Listing Service, I will collect a few pieces of your business information in preparation for an audit of your listing. You and I will stay in touch via your preferred method...email, text, or phone.
"How do I know that it's working?"
You'll likely see an increase in phone calls, texts, or visits. Also, I keep track of calls, website visits, and other actions from your Google Business Profile every month so that you know how many customers are engaging with your business. This service also helps you manage and improve your reputation and promote your brand. Both are incredibly beneficial and can improve conversion rate but are more difficult to quantify. And every month I'll provide you with a report of what we're doing and how the stats look.
"Will my listing rise in the rankings?"
Oh heck yeah! There are many areas of my GBP Service that have an impact on your listing's ability to rank locally. And our service goes beyond rankings, where the primary focus is on increasing your leads from your listing, but our work will also have a positive impact on your customer engagement and satisfaction:
- Implementing a review strategy, earning reviews, and responding to reviews.
– Optimizing your listing to 100% and utilizing all available features.
– Addressing bad (or fake) reviews.
– Increasing business owner engagement signals.
– Increasing user engagement signals.

"Will you charge me a set up fee?"
NOPE. I am aware that most agencies will charge a set up fee for a service like our listing service. I won't do that to you. It's true that in the first month of service, setting up your campaign for success requires more time, planning, and extra hours on my end, but I will not charge you more in the first month. You're already agreeing to monthly payments and that's good enough for me.
"Can I cancel at anytime?"
Yes. There is no long term contract. Be aware though that Google does NOT get in any hurry. Once I start working on your listing it can take a few weeks for Google to catch up. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll see results. To really benefit from this service we highly recommend a minimum of 3 months.
"If I cancel, will you reverse all the work you've done?"
Nothing will be reversed. However, once we stop maintaining your listing's citations, they may drop off and disappear from the web. And that will hurt your rankings. Backlinks are rented so they will disappear. Also, without regularly updating your profile, uploading optimized images, communicating with reviewers, and making social posts, your ranking will start to drop.
"What are citations and backlinks?"
Citations are any place on the internet where your business name, address, and phone number appears. For instance, you probably already have a citation on your website. You might also have a citation at directory sites like Yelp, Yellow Pages, and hundreds of others. Google loves to see your citations scattered around the web and it is important to create new ones regularly and maintain them.
Backlinks refer to any link on the internet that leads to your website. Adding backlinks that point to your website actually help your Google Business Listing rank higher because Google knows that your BUSINESS LISTING and your WEBSITE are closely related to your business.

"Are there any extra charges or hidden fees?"
NO. The monthly charge shown for the Google Business Listing service is the only investment you need to make. We do offer other services such as website building, website SEO, social marketing, and others but those are completely separate from the Listing service.
Are You Losing Customers?
|
I hate to see my neighboring local business owners losing business. But because of the search engines' constant surprise changes in their algorithms it's difficult, if not impossible, for a local small business to keep up.
