What does Google Business Profile management include (and is it worth it)?
When someone searches for what you do, the three businesses in the map listings usually show up above every website. Those spots come from Google Business Profiles. If your profile is incomplete, out of date or quiet, you're handing those calls to a competitor. Google Business Profile management keeps your profile active and accurate so you have a real shot at those top spots.
What Google Business Profile management includes
- Weekly posts. Updates, offers and tips that show Google and customers your business is active.
- Photo updates. Fresh photos of your work, your team and your space. Profiles with recent photos get more clicks.
- Review replies. A thoughtful reply to every review, good or bad. Replies show customers you care and are a signal Google pays attention to.
- Accuracy checks. Making sure your hours, phone, website, service areas and holiday hours stay correct.
- Problem fixes. Duplicate listings, wrong addresses and categories that don't match what you do.
What it costs
I set up Google Business Profiles for $195, including categories, services, service areas, photos, a description and your review link. Monthly management is $125 and covers weekly posts, photo updates and review replies. Cleanup work like duplicate listings is priced after a free checkup.
Is it worth it?
For most local service businesses, yes. A single new customer from the map listings often covers several months of management. The bigger question is time: posting every week and replying to every review is easy to put off when you're running a business. Management takes it off your plate so it actually gets done.
