How Google decides who shows up
Google says local results come down to three things. We quote them here because every task on this page goes back to one of them.
| Factor | Google's definition | What we work on |
|---|---|---|
| Relevance | "How well a Business Profile matches what someone is searching for." | Category, services, description and photos |
| Distance | "How far each business is from the customer who's searching." | Address and service area, set the way Google asks. You cannot move your base, and we do not pretend to. |
| Prominence | "How well-known a business is." | Reviews, replies, your website and your listings across the web |

Distance is the one you cannot change. Relevance and prominence are where the work is, and both are things a busy owner rarely has time to keep up with.
Three numbers behind the monthly work
The first two are why this is monthly work and not one afternoon of setup: customers read the reviews, and most of them want recent ones. The third is why we never list towns you cannot reach in a working day.
What we work on, in order
These are the six parts of a profile we check in the free audit and keep current after it. The order is the order we usually fix them in.
1. Primary category and services
The primary category tells Google what kind of business you are. It is often left generic: a pressure washing company listed as "Contractor" leaves Google guessing which searches it belongs in.
- One primary category that matches the work you want more of.
- Secondary categories only where you actually do the work.
- Every service listed in the words customers type, in English and Spanish where your customers use it.
2. Service area and address
Most home service businesses go to the customer. Google's rule for that case is plain: if you don't serve customers at your address, remove the address from the profile and set a service area instead. You can list up to 20 areas.
"The boundaries of your overall area shouldn't be more than about 2 hours of driving time from where your business is based."
Listing a town tells customers you work there. Local SEO testers report it does not, by itself, move you up in that town, because Google measures distance from where you are based. Getting found farther out takes reviews, a page on your site for that area and real jobs there. See how that works for Kissimmee.

3. Photos that show the real work
Google puts it this way: photos let you "show customers what you offer and tell the story of your business." For a service business that means the crew, the truck and the job, before and after. A stock photo tells the customer nothing about you.
- Real job photos added through the month, not forty in one afternoon.
- Before-and-after pairs taken from the same spot.
- A logo and cover photo that match your trucks, shirts and website.
4. Reviews and replies
"More reviews and positive ratings can help your business's local ranking."
Source: Google Business Profile Help, "Tips to improve your local ranking on Google"
We set up a request that goes out after every job, by text, with the direct link to your review form. Every customer gets the same request, happy or not. Asking only the happy ones breaks Google's rules, and we would rather answer a fair complaint in public than hide it.
- A request after every job, sent to every customer.
- A written reply to every review, good or bad, in the language it was written in.
- An alert when a review needs you personally.
5. Hours, updates and details
Google warns that if your business info isn't accurate, your profile "might not show up for relevant searches in your area." Holiday hours, a changed phone number, a service you stopped offering: small things that cost a call when they are wrong.
We keep hours current, including holidays, and post updates about recent jobs and seasonal work so the profile shows a business that is open and busy.
6. Call and website buttons
Every profile view should end in a call or a booked job. We check that the call button rings a phone someone answers and that the website button opens a page that loads fast on a phone with your number at the top. On the Google Local plan, a missed call also gets a text back.

What we will not do
Some shortcuts get profiles suspended. We do not take them, and if the audit finds one already on your profile, we tell you.
- Add keywords or city names to your business name. Google says unnecessary information in the name "could result in the suspension of your Business Profile."
- Rent a virtual office to show up in another town. Google says a virtual office "isn't eligible for a Business Profile."
- Buy reviews, offer discounts for reviews, or ask only the happy customers.
- Promise a ranking, a number of calls or a date.

Questions
Do I have to give you my Google password?
No. You add us as a manager from your profile settings. Managers can do almost everything an owner can, except add or remove people or delete the profile. You stay the owner and can remove us whenever you want.
What is the difference between this and local SEO?
This page is about the Google profile itself, the panel that shows up on Maps and in search. Local SEO covers the rest: your website's service and town pages, your listings on other sites and the links that point to you. Most businesses need the profile done first.
I work out of my truck. Can I still have a profile?
Yes. Google calls that a service-area business. You remove the street address from the public profile and list the areas you serve instead, up to 20, within about two hours' drive of your base.
My profile was suspended. Can you help?
Yes. That is a separate service, GBP reinstatement. We find out why it was suspended, gather the evidence Google asks for and file the appeal with you. Google makes the final call, so we never promise the outcome. It is not in either plan and is quoted separately after the free audit.
¿Trabajan en español?
Sí. Hablamos contigo en español o en inglés, y escribimos los servicios, las publicaciones y las respuestas a reseñas en el idioma de tus clientes.
Is there a contract, and what happens if I stop?
No contract. The work is month to month and you can stop when you want. You stay the owner of the profile the whole time, so stopping means you remove us as a manager, and the photos, services and replies we added stay on your profile.
What do I get each month?
The next items on the fix list, new job photos and updates, a reply to every review, and a short report from your own Google data that shows what we did and what changed. The quote you get after the audit lists exactly what is included.
When will I see more calls?
Some fixes appear on your profile soon after Google reviews the edit, such as a new category or a missing service. Calls depend on your market and your competitors, so we do not promise a date or a number. The monthly report tells you what moved and what has not moved yet.
How much does it cost?
Profile work is in both plans: Google Profile is $297 a month and Google Local is $597 a month, both month to month with no contract and no setup fee. Work outside the plans, like a new website, is quoted after the free audit as a one-time project fee.
