Why it matters

When someone searches for a nearby service, Google doesn't show every business.

It shows 3. If your profile "shows up" but the phone doesn't ring, it's almost always a structure problem, not bad luck.

More calls and direction requests straight from Google.

How I measure your visibility

Your ranking changes depending on where your customer is standing.

You don't rank the same everywhere in your city. I map your actual position in a grid around your business, zone by zone. That shows me exactly where you win and where competitors are taking your customers.

A heat map of your position, zone by zone, instead of a single number.

Where customers find you, and where they're landing on a competitor instead.

Google Business Profile · FAQ

How much does it cost to optimize a Google Business Profile?

One-time payment, no monthly fees, priced for your country (shown above in your currency). The initial audit is free and applies toward the project.

Why does the price vary by country?

Because each optimization is native work for that market: local research, local competition, local directories and reviews. Pricing is set with purchasing-power parity (the same way global platforms do it), so it's fair against the options in YOUR market. The work and standard are identical everywhere; what changes is the local economy. And with full transparency: the price you see for your country is exactly what you pay.

How do I rank in the top 3 on Google Maps?

By optimizing categories, profile completeness, recent reviews, photos, consistent NAP, and the proximity and relevance signals Google rewards. Structure matters more than luck.

Do reviews affect Google Maps rankings?

Yes. Volume, recency, rating, and your responses are direct local ranking signals, and trust signals for potential customers.

What is NAP in local SEO?

NAP = Name, Address, Phone. They must be identical across your profile, website, and directories. Inconsistencies confuse Google and hurt your ranking.

Are Google My Business (GMB) and Google Business Profile the same thing?

Yes. Google My Business (GMB) is the former name. Since 2022 it has been called Google Business Profile. It's the same profile that appears in Google Maps and Search. And it's what I optimize.
