What is Google Business Profile?
Google Business Profile is a crucial tool for local SEO, offering businesses a platform to showcase essential details like name, address, and hours. Optimising this profile boosts local search visibility, aiding in higher rankings. Positive customer reviews on the profile enhance a business’s credibility and influence local search rankings. The integration with Google Maps further strengthens local SEO efforts, helping businesses connect with nearby customers effectively. In essence, Google Business Profile is an invaluable asset for businesses aiming to improve their online presence and attract local customers through enhanced local SEO strategies.

You will need to add us as an admin user on your Google Business Profile (GBP), which just takes 5 minutes. We’ll then be able to maintain your profile and optimise it for the best results on an on-going basis. Google are always adding and changing functionality of GBP, you can rest assured that our team will keep abreast of these developments and inform you of them. Depending on the plan you take – we may need photos, videos, standard review responses, common answers to questions and more from you to manage your GBP effectively.
