Google Business Profile and Local Services Ads

Own the two placements local customers see first.

Focused work on Google Business Profile, Google reviews and Local Services Ads: profile completeness, category and service accuracy, a repeatable review generation routine that lifts the star rating, and LSA setup and verification, so the business competes in the map pack and the screened listings above it.

What changes

  • A complete, accurate, active business profile
  • Local Services Ads set up correctly with verification handled
  • A review workflow that compounds over time

Fit

Who this is for

  • Service businesses eligible for Local Services Ads
  • Businesses with a profile that has never been fully completed
  • Owners stuck in the verification process
  • Companies that get reviews occasionally but never systematically

Problems

What this work removes

Each engagement starts with the constraint that is costing the most right now.

An incomplete profile

Missing services, categories, hours and photos limit how often the listing appears. The profile is completed and kept active.

Verification friction

Screening and verification stall many businesses. The steps are handled and tracked through to approval.

Reviews arriving at random

A simple request routine and response templates turn reviews into something predictable.
