Google Business Profile management, with you as the owner
Wrong hours, old photos, a category that doesn’t match the work: small profile mistakes quietly send calls to the business next door. Our Google Business Profile management services fix yours and keep it accurate and active every month.

Google Business Profile
Setup, optimization and monthly care, with you as the owner.
What you get
Ownership set up right
A new profile created, or your existing one claimed, with your business as the owner and us added as a manager with your written consent.
The right primary category
Experts rank your primary category as the top factor for the map results (Whitespark, 2026). We pick it for the jobs you want, plus the fewest extras that fit.
Services, area and hours
Every service, your service area, hours, holiday hours and a plain description. If you don’t serve customers at your address, we hide it, as Google requires.
Real photos, regular posts
Photos of your team, your vans or storefront and your finished work, plus regular posts about recent jobs and offers, so customers see you’re open and busy.
Edit and spam watch
Anyone can suggest edits to your profile, and Google sometimes applies them. We check every change with you and report fake competitor listings to Google.
Calls from your profile, counted
Each month: calls, direction requests and website clicks from your profile, reported separately from other data, as Google’s rules for agencies require.
Google Business Profile itself is free from Google. Our fee is for our work, quoted in writing after your free Maps report. Month to month, cancel any time.

Your free Maps report
Where you rank for one search at 49 points around your business, plus the gaps and policy risks in your profile and the 3 fixes we’d make first.
Access, the right way
You add us as a manager from your own Google account, or we help you create a new profile and work through Google’s verification.
Fix and fill
Categories, services, service area, hours, photos and description put right, with a note to you on every change we make.
Monthly care
Posts, photos and edit checks every month, a new 49-point map to show what moved, and a call with your expert to go through it.
Is it right for you?
A good fit if
- Your profile was set up years ago and hasn’t been touched since
- Customers turned up during the wrong hours, or called an old number
- You’re not sure who owns your profile, or how to check
- You’d rather run jobs than keep up with Google’s rules
What we won’t do
- Ask for your Google password. You add us as a manager
- Add keywords to your business name. Google can suspend you for it
- Promise a ranking. Google says no one can guarantee one

Ask a questionWhat does Google Business Profile management include?
Getting your profile complete and correct, then keeping it that way. That covers categories, services, service area, hours, photos and posts, checks on edits suggested by Google or the public, and a monthly report on calls and clicks from your profile. You also get one expert who knows your business, wherever you are in the US and Canada, and a call every month.
Is Google Business Profile free?
Yes. Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is free from Google, and it costs nothing to create or update. Our fee is for our work on it: the setup, the monthly care and the reporting. Google requires agencies to tell you this in writing before they manage your profile, and we do.
How much does Google Business Profile management cost per month?
It depends on how much your profile needs and how many locations you have, so we don’t publish one price. We quote in writing after your free Maps report, and you see exactly what’s included and the monthly price before any work starts. It’s month to month, and you can cancel any time.
What’s the difference between a profile owner and a manager?
An owner controls the profile, including who else can access it. A manager can edit the profile and post, but can’t remove the owner or add other people. You stay the owner, and we’re added as a manager with your written consent. If you leave, you get exclusive control back within 7 business days, as Google’s rules for agencies require.
How do I get my profile back from an old agency?
Ask them in writing to transfer ownership to you. Google’s rules require agencies to give you exclusive control within 7 business days of your notice. If they don’t answer, you can request ownership through Google, and businesses without a storefront go through Google support. Our verification and ownership service can walk you through it.
Can I add keywords to my business name on Google?
No. Google’s guidelines say your profile name must match your real-world name, as it appears on your sign, website and paperwork. Adding words like “best plumber Denver” can get a profile suspended, so we won’t do it. If your real name already includes a service word, as in “Smith Plumbing”, that’s fine.
What if my profile gets suspended?
Don’t create a new profile, and don’t rush the appeal. Google’s appeal tool takes one appeal per decision, so the first one needs the right evidence. Start with a free case review on our suspended profiles page. Monthly care helps here too: we spot risky edits and policy problems early.
