Get found on Google Maps
and local search
Your Google Business Profile is how customers find you when they search for your trade nearby. We set it up properly, optimise it fully, and manage it so it keeps working for you.
Your Google listing is your shopfront
When someone searches 'plumber near me' or 'electrician Brisbane,' the first thing they see isn't a website — it's the Google Map Pack. That's the box at the top of search results showing three local businesses with their name, reviews, phone number, and location.
If your Google Business Profile isn't set up, isn't verified, or isn't optimised — you don't show up. And if you don't show up, that customer calls your competitor instead.
A properly optimised Google Business Profile does three things for your business: it gets you visible in Maps and local search, it builds trust with reviews and photos before the customer even visits your website, and it gives customers a direct way to call you or get directions — right from the search results.
Complete Google Business Profile management
Claim and verify your profile
If you don't already have a Google Business Profile, we create one. If you do but haven't claimed it, we handle the verification process — including the postcard, phone, or email verification that Google requires.
Optimise every detail
We don't just fill in the basics. We optimise every field that affects how your business ranks and appears in search.
- Business name — correctly formatted to match Google's guidelines
- Primary and secondary categories — chosen to match what your customers are searching for
- Service areas — set to cover the suburbs and regions you actually work in
- Services list — every service you offer, individually listed and described
- Business description — written to be compelling to customers and relevant to search
