# Google Business Profile Management

Own the map pack for your trade. For a lot of local searches, the map pack is the search result — above the organic listings, above the ads. A neglected profile is one of the fastest ways to lose calls to a competitor.

## What's included

- Full profile setup, claim, and verification
- Category and service optimization so you show up for the right searches
- Weekly posts and photo updates to keep the profile active
- Review generation campaigns and response management
- Q&A monitoring — so wrong answers from strangers don't sit there for months
- Insights and call tracking tied back to your profile

## How it happens

1. **Claim & Audit** — Take over or set up from scratch; fix categories, hours, and service areas.
2. **Optimize** — Photos, services, attributes, and descriptions around the searches you want to win.
3. **Post & Maintain** — Regular posts and photo updates keep the profile active.
4. **Grow Reviews** — A steady, honest review generation process.

## Frequently asked questions

**I already have a listing — can you take it over?**
Yes, this is the most common starting point. We'll request access or ownership transfer and audit what's already there before changing anything.

**Do you respond to reviews for me?**
Yes, as part of ongoing management we respond to reviews — good and bad — in your voice, and flag anything that needs your direct attention.

**How fast will I show up in the map pack?**
It depends on your current profile and competition, but most contractors see profile-related movement faster than pure website SEO — often within the first 30–60 days.
