Edmonton Business Owners, Your Google Business Profile Should Be Bringing You Calls Every Day
If you are not showing up in the top three spots of the Google Map Pack for your industry and city, you are losing customers to competitors who did the work to get there.
Most business owners set up their Google Business Profile once and assume it will just “work.” But Google ranks active, optimized, and locally trusted businesses. If your profile is missing anything, you get pushed down the list and the phone stays quiet.
Here are the most common issues I fix for business owners:
• Verification problems or suspended profiles
• Wrong business categories or missing secondary categories
• Low review count or reviews with no keywords
• Missing service area setup
• Weak descriptions that do not help Google understand the business
• No backlinks pointing to the GMB listing
• No weekly posts or updates
• No photos, videos, or proof of work
• Duplicate listings that drag your ranking down
• No tracking links or website connections
• Inconsistent name, address, and phone details across the internet
My Google Business Profile services include:
• Full profile optimization
• Category and service setup
• Keyword enhanced business description
• Review growth strategy and local review automation
• Weekly posting and content updates
• Photo and media optimization
• Link-building for map ranking
• Fixing verification issues or profile suspensions
• Competitor analysis and ranking plan
• Citation building to strengthen your authority
• Tracking tools so you can see calls, clicks, and direction requests
The Map Pack is one of the most valuable pieces of real estate on Google. If you get into the #1 spot, you become the business people call without even visiting your website...ggghbb
