Google Business Profile Setup & Complete Optimisation Service
Whether you’re starting from scratch or have an underperforming listing, we build and optimise your Google Business Profile to rank in the Local 3-Pack and convert every visitor into a customer.
A Badly Set Up GBP Can Actively Hurt Your Google Rankings
Most businesses create a Google Business Profile in 10 minutes and never think about it again. The result? An incomplete, unoptimised listing that Google ranks below competitors who’ve done their homework.
Our professional GBP setup and optimisation service covers every element Google uses to rank local businesses — from category selection and attribute configuration to keyword-rich descriptions, photo optimisation, and service listings. We build your GBP on the strongest possible foundation from day one.
- New GBP creation OR complete overhaul of existing listing
- Primary and secondary category selection (most businesses get this wrong)
- Keyword-optimised business description (all 750 characters used)
- Complete services section with keyword-rich descriptions
- 20+ professional, geotagged photos uploaded
- All attributes, special features, and amenities configured
- Q&A section seeded with your most important answers
- Website linking, appointment URL, and menu configuration
Is Your GBP Setup Holding You Back?
These critical setup mistakes prevent thousands of businesses from ever ranking in local search.
Wrong or Missing Business Categories
Choosing the wrong primary category — or leaving secondary categories empty — is one of the single biggest reasons businesses don’t appear for their most important search terms.
Poor Quality or Missing Photos
GBPs with fewer than 10 photos receive 35% fewer clicks. Photos without geotagging miss a key local ranking signal, and stock photos look untrustworthy to potential customers.
Generic, Keyword-Free Description
Most business owners write a brief, generic description with no keywords and submit it — wasting 750 characters of prime keyword real estate that Google reads directly to determine your relevance.
A Perfectly Optimised GBP Is the Fastest Path to Local Customers
We’ve optimised 600+ Google Business Profiles across every industry — and we know exactly what Google wants to see to rank your listing at the top.
