Deliverables
What's included in local seo
Profile claim and verification
We claim your Google Business Profile, walk you through verification, and merge or remove duplicate listings competing with your real one.
Full profile optimisation
Primary and secondary categories, services list, opening hours, service area, attributes and a description written for how people actually search.
Photo and post setup
Your images uploaded, named and organised correctly, plus your first Google Post published and a template so you can keep going.
Citation consistency
Your name, address and phone number checked and corrected across the major directories, so conflicting data stops undermining your listing.
LocalBusiness schema
Structured data added to your website connecting it to your profile, with address, hours and service area marked up properly.
Review request system
A short review link and a message template you can send after every job — the single most effective thing a local business can do.
The process
How the work actually runs
- 01
1. Audit what exists
We check whether a profile already exists, whether there are duplicates, and how your details appear across directories today.
- 02
2. Claim and verify
Google verification can take a few days and sometimes needs a postcard to your address. We handle the process and tell you exactly what to expect.

3. Optimise

4. Hand over
Ownership of the profile stays with you. You get the review link, the posting template and a short guide to keeping it current.

Local SEO: common questions
How much does Google Business Profile optimisation cost?
$50 as a one-time setup, or included free in our $299 5-Page Business Website package. There is no monthly fee — once a profile is set up properly, keeping it current takes you a few minutes a month, and we show you how.
How long until I show up on Google Maps?
Verification usually takes two to seven days, and sometimes requires a postcard from Google to your business address, which can take longer. After verification, profiles typically begin appearing in local results within a few weeks. Where you rank depends on your category's competitiveness, your proximity to the searcher and your review count — none of which anyone can guarantee.
Do I need a physical address?
Not necessarily. Service-area businesses can hide their address and set a service radius instead, which suits trades, mobile services and home-based businesses. You do need a real address to verify with, even if it is not shown publicly.
Can you get me more reviews?
We set up the system that makes asking easy — a short link and a message template you send after each job. We will not write reviews or buy them. Fake reviews violate Google's policies, get profiles suspended, and in the US can attract FTC penalties.
