Stand out on Google Search and Maps
Your Google Business Profile is the listing that appears in Google Search and Google Maps. We set it up properly, or fix the one you have, so local customers can find you, see what you offer and get in touch.
Who it is for
Every local business benefits from a Google Business Profile, but it matters most for businesses that rely on nearby customers: tradespeople, cafes, salons, shops and mobile businesses of every kind.
You do not need a shop or office. Google supports service-area businesses, which means you can show the areas you cover without displaying your home address. This is exactly how most tradespeople use it.
What is included
Profile creation or claiming
We create your profile from scratch, or claim the one Google has already made for you.
Verification support
We guide you through Google's checks until your profile is properly verified.
Categories and services
The right categories and a clear list of your services, so you appear in the right searches.
Photos
Real photos of your work or premises, which make customers far more likely to get in touch.
Opening hours
Accurate hours, kept up to date, so nobody turns up when you are closed.
Service areas
The towns and areas you cover, shown clearly to customers and to Google.
Posting guidance
Regular posts keep your profile looking fresh and active, handled for you as part of Monthly Management.
Why it matters for a local business
When people search on Google Maps, the businesses with complete profiles, good photos and plenty of reviews stand out immediately. An incomplete profile, or none at all, means customers simply choose someone else.
Your profile often appears above the normal search results, with your phone number one tap away. For a local business, there is no faster route from searching to calling.
It is free to have, so the only cost is doing it right. For most local businesses, a properly set up Google Business Profile is the single quickest win in local search.

What is a Google Business Profile?
It is the free listing that appears in Google Search and Google Maps when people look for local businesses. It shows your name, services, opening hours, photos and reviews, and it is often the first thing a customer sees.
Is a Google Business Profile free?
Yes, completely. Google does not charge for a Business Profile. What we charge for is the time and know-how to set it up properly and keep it working hard for your business.
Can I have one without a shop or office?
Yes. Google supports service-area businesses, which means you can list the areas you cover without showing your home address. This is exactly how most tradespeople and mobile businesses use it.
Why isn't my business showing on Google Maps?
The most common reasons are that no profile exists, the profile has not been verified, or key details are missing or out of date. We will find out exactly what is holding yours back and fix it.
How do I get more Google reviews?
The easiest way is to ask happy customers straight after a job or visit, while it's fresh in their mind. We'll help you set up a simple review link you can send by text or email, and it's all included with Monthly Management.
How often should I post on my Google Business Profile?
There is no official rule from Google, but regular posts keep your profile looking active and give customers a reason to get in touch. We handle this for you as part of Monthly Management.
How long does verification take?
Usually a few days, though for some businesses it can take longer depending on the options Google offers. We will support you through every step until your profile is live.
