Google Business Profile optimization (formerly Google My Business) Three spots on Google Maps. Let's take yours.

When someone searches “near me”, Google shows just three businesses. GMB Boost optimizes your profile, setting by setting, so one of them is yours — on your street and in the neighborhoods around it.

The problem

Above the line, customers call. Below it, they never see you.

On a local search, Google shows a block of three profiles next to the map: the local pack. That's where the calls, direction requests and visits happen. The profile ranked 7th exists, but people have to click “More places” to find it — and almost nobody does.

Your rank isn't the same everywhere: it changes street by street, depending on distance, how relevant your profile is and how well known your business is. That's exactly what local SEO works on — and it's all we do.

What we optimize

A Google Business Profile reads like a map. Every marker counts.

  1. A

    Categories

    Your primary category is the strongest relevance signal. We choose it based on what your top-ranked competitors use, then add the secondary categories that matter.

  2. B

    Name, address, phone

    Identical details everywhere online, with no keyword stuffing that could get your profile suspended.

  3. C

    Description & services

    Written with the words your customers actually type, service by service, including your service area.

  4. D

    Photos

    Real, recent photos added every month: storefront, team, finished work. A living profile builds trust.

  5. E

    Reviews

    A simple system to get them steadily (QR code, text after each job), and a reply to every one, good or bad.

  6. F

    Google posts

    News, offers and updates published every week to show the business is active.

  7. G

    Hours & attributes

    Holiday hours, accessibility, payments, booking: each attribute matches a search filter.

  8. H

    Questions & answers

    We answer common questions upfront so the right answer is already on your profile.

The method

The route, from diagnosis to the top 3.

Six stages, in this order. Each one builds on the last.

  1. Start · Day 1

    Geo-grid audit

    We measure your rank at 49 points around your business, against your three best-ranked competitors. You see where you win and where you disappear.

  2. Day 3

    Foundations

    Categories, name, contact details, service area, attributes, services. Everything Google reads first gets fixed and filled in.

  3. Day 7

    Content

    Description, products, fresh photos and first posts. Your profile goes from a static listing to a visibly active business.

  4. Day 15

    Customer reviews

    Review collection set up (QR code, direct link, text message), reply templates, and replies to the reviews you already have.

  5. Day 30

    Off-profile signals

    Listings created and aligned on the directories that matter (Apple Maps, Bing Places, Yelp…) and local links.

  6. Every month

    Tracking & tuning

    A new geo-grid, a clear report (calls, direction requests, website visits) and adjustments based on what your competitors are doing.

Results

We don't show you a flattering chart. We show you the map.

Every month, the same grid, at the same points. Green either gains ground or it doesn't: you can tell in three seconds.

Common questions

Before you go, a few answers.

How long before I see results?

First movements often show up two to four weeks after the core fixes. Clear progress across the whole grid usually takes two to three months, depending on how competitive your industry and city are.

Can you guarantee first place?

No, and nobody honestly can: rankings also depend on where the searcher is and on your competitors. What we guarantee is a method applied in full and transparent tracking, at the same points, every month.

Google My Business or Google Business Profile?

Same tool. Google renamed Google My Business to Google Business Profile in 2021. Both mean your Google listing.

Do I need to give you my password?

Never. You add us as a manager of your profile from your own account. You stay the owner and can remove our access at any time.

My profile is suspended or doesn't exist yet.

We handle that too: creating and verifying a new profile, or filing a reinstatement request after a suspension, before we move on to optimization.

I have several locations.

Each profile gets its own grid and its own tracking. We build a plan for each location, with a consolidated report for the whole network.
