Google Business Profile help for local businesses

Your Google profile should be bringing you calls.

I find what is incomplete, outdated, or making a good business look neglected. Then I fix it. If the website is part of the problem, I build that too.

Text me the business name. No sales call required.

The free profile check

Before they call you, they look at this.

Your Google Business Profile is often the first impression. I look at the public profile the way a customer would and tell you what is helping, what is missing, and what I would fix first.

If it is already in good shape, I will say so.

What I check about 5 minutes
  • Business details and categoriesIs the foundation right?
  • Services and service areaCan customers tell what you actually do?
  • Photos and recent activityDoes the business look active?
  • Reviews and owner repliesDoes the profile look cared for?
  • The path to your websiteDoes the next click build trust or lose it?

Who you work with

I’m Rob. You work with me.

No account manager, no handoff, and no disappearing once the work starts. I look at the profile, explain what is wrong in plain English, and do the work we agree on.

I am based in Vermont and work with local businesses in Vermont, New York, and anywhere else a direct working relationship makes sense.
