The Profile Itself, Not the Rest of Local SEO
GBP Optimization
For a Google Business Profile that already exists and needs fixing, not the full local SEO build.
The profile itself, corrected and then watched.
Categories chosen on Google's own rule — what the business is, not what it has — checked against what's ranking in local search results, not guessed at. Services and description filled in completely, and hours kept current, including holidays.
Then it is watched, which is the part that makes it hold. A public profile changes underneath you — anyone can suggest an edit and Google applies some of them automatically — and nobody gets notified when it goes wrong.
It is not the full local SEO build. Service pages, citations and on-site work belong to Local SEO; this is the profile on its own.
What's Included
The profile brought in line with Google's own rules, then watched every week so it stays that way.
- Standalone fee
- None
- Included with
- Local SEO
- Ad spend
- Not required
A profile that already exists and has quietly gone wrong.
A business whose listing was set up once — by an owner, a previous agency, or Google itself — and hasn't been looked at since. The symptoms are usually a category that reverted, hours that went stale over a holiday, or reviews sitting unanswered for months.
If the rest of the local picture needs work too, this is already the first thing Local SEO touches, and buying it on its own doesn't save anything.
This fits
- A listing set up once and not looked at since
- A category that reverted, or hours that went stale
- Reviews sitting unanswered for months
- A business that doesn't need the full local SEO scope
This doesn’t
- Wanting the business name stuffed with services or a city
- Wanting reviews bought or gated
- Needing service pages and citations too — that's Local SEO
Nobody gets notified when a public profile changes underneath them. That's the whole reason this is a weekly job and not a one-time fix.
Working Together
This is the profile-specific piece of the Local SEO retainer, not a separate invoice — most of the time, fixing a struggling profile is the first thing Local SEO work touches anyway.
