Google Business Profile setup and management

Setup done right

• Claim or create your profile. We find your existing listing or build a new one, and help you through Google's verification.
• The right categories. Your primary category has a big effect on which searches you show up for, so we choose it carefully.
• Services and service areas. Everything you offer and the areas you cover, listed the way customers search for them. Google allows up to 20 service areas, so we pick the ones that matter most.
• Hours, description, logo, and photos. A complete profile that looks professional and gives people a reason to call.
• Duplicate cleanup. Old or duplicate listings confuse Google and customers. We get them merged or removed.

Ongoing management

A profile isn't something you set up once and forget. We keep it active and accurate.

• Regular posts. Offers, updates, and seasonal news that show up right on your profile.
• Fresh photos. New photos of your work, your team, and your business.
• Review responses. We help you reply to reviews, good and bad, quickly and professionally.
• Keeping details current. Holiday hours, new services, and any changes, plus watching for edits Google or the public suggest to your listing.
• Results in your report. Calls, website clicks, and direction requests from your profile, every month.

Who owns the profile

You do. The profile lives in your business's Google account, and we work in it as a manager, not the owner. You can see everything we change, and you can remove our access whenever you like. If a previous company set the profile up under their own account, we'll help you get it moved into yours.

Part of your local SEO

Your profile works best alongside a website that backs it up. If we're also handling your local SEO, your profile and your site point customers in the same direction.

Where we work

We work with businesses anywhere in the Quad Cities: Davenport and Bettendorf in Iowa, and Moline, Rock Island, East Moline and Silvis in Illinois. The metro sits across two states, so your profile has to be clear about which side of the river you're on while still reaching customers on the other. If you'd rather work on the listing yourself first, read what a Google Business Profile actually does. More on each city on our Quad Cities digital marketing page.
