What is the Google Business Profile? Google Business Profile (previously known as Google My Business) is how you control your business details in Google search results. And Google gives you a decent amount of control over what you can include and exclude.

Managing Your Google Business Profile

Here are our four steps to managing your Google Business Profile.

Step 1

Strategy Call

We begin the management process with a strategy call. Together, we’ll set objectives and gather all necessary information and images.

This Zoom call typically takes about 30 minutes, and we’ll answer your questions and make the plan.

Step 2

Local SEO Audit

Next, we’ll run a detailed audit of your local SEO.

The results of the audit help us identify what’s working well and areas that need improvement.

Sometimes audits reveal issues that can result in a suspension.

During this step, we’ll fix the major issues.

Step 3

Profile Management

With the plan in place and the errors fixed, we’ll move to on-going management.

We’ll implement our Local Reviews App for your business, and help to generate a steady flow of new reviews.

We’ll also begin posting to your profile, optimizing the content, and ensuring that it follows Google’s guidelines.

Step 4

Optimize

Over time, we’ll identify trends and continue to optimize your profile for leads and ranking.

We’ll periodically setup calls to discuss the success and direction of your Google Business Profile.

During these calls, we’ll review any business changes to ensure your profile is up to date.

While the ideal schedule will vary for each business, you should consider posting your special promotions and news updates.

As a minimum, you should post a monthly update to your Google Business Profile. This keeps fresh content visible for prospective customers who view your profile.
