Google Business Profile

OWN THE MAP PACK.
OWN YOUR MARKET.

When a homeowner searches 'landscaper near me,' the first thing they see is the local map pack — three businesses, right at the top of Google. We manage and optimise your Google Business Profile so one of those three businesses is always yours.

What's included

EVERYTHING IN YOUR
GBP MANAGEMENT

Profile Optimisation

Every field of your GBP filled out strategically — categories, service areas, business description, attributes, and opening hours — all optimised to maximise map pack visibility.

Review Strategy

A systemised approach to generating a steady stream of 5-star reviews — the single most powerful local ranking signal. We build the process so reviews come in consistently.

Weekly GBP Posts

Regular posts published to your profile — promotions, seasonal offers, service highlights — keeping your profile active and signalling to Google that your business is thriving.

Photo Management

High-quality, keyword-tagged photos of your work uploaded regularly. Profiles with frequent fresh photos rank higher and convert browsers into callers far more effectively.

Review Response Management

Professional, timely responses to every review — positive and negative. Managed responses show Google and future clients that you run a serious, responsive business.

Citation Consistency

Your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) audited and corrected across 40+ directories — inconsistencies silently kill local rankings and confuse Google.

Service & Product Listings

Every service you offer listed in your GBP with descriptions and pricing — giving Google and homeowners a complete picture of what you do and where you do it.

Monthly Performance Data

Profile views, search impressions, direction requests, and call clicks tracked monthly — so you can see exactly how your GBP is performing as a lead source.

Q&A Management

Questions on your GBP answered promptly and strategically — both genuine client questions and pre-seeded FAQs that improve your profile's keyword coverage.

Why GBP matters

THE MAP PACK IS
WHERE JOBS ARE WON

Over 40% of all local search clicks go to the map pack — before anyone scrolls to the organic results. If you're not in those top three spots, you're invisible to nearly half your potential clients. Here's what an unmanaged GBP is costing you:

  • Competitors appearing in the map pack while you're invisible
  • An incomplete profile that Google doesn't trust enough to show
  • No review system — relying on clients to leave reviews unprompted
  • Stale photos that make your business look inactive
  • NAP inconsistencies across directories confusing Google's algorithm
01

Maximum map pack visibility

A fully optimised, actively managed GBP is the fastest route to the top three local results — where the majority of clicks and calls happen.

02

Trust before the first click

Star ratings, recent reviews, and fresh photos build credibility before a homeowner even visits your website. First impressions start on Google.

03

Free, compounding traffic

Unlike paid ads, GBP rankings don't cost per click. Once you rank in the map pack, every search is a free lead opportunity — indefinitely.

04

Faster than organic SEO

GBP rankings can improve within weeks. It's often the quickest way to get visible in local searches while your website's organic authority builds.
