Google Business Profile optimisation
Get into the top 3 on Google Maps.
When locals search for what you do, Google shows three businesses on the map. We rebuild your Business Profile, keep reviews coming and clean up your listings so you're one of them.
Why it matters
The map is your shopfront now.
Most people searching for a local service never get past the three businesses on the map. They call one of them, or tap for directions, and the search is over.
Google picks those three on how relevant, close and prominent your business looks. You can't change distance. Relevance and prominence you can, and that's the work.
- Calls straight from the listing
- Direction requests from people nearby
- Reviews that do the selling before anyone visits your site
businesses shown on the map before anyone scrolls. Everyone else is on page two.
What's included
Everything that moves Your Business Profile:
Profile rebuild
Primary and secondary categories, services, service areas, hours, attributes and a description written for how people actually search.
Review system
Automatic review requests after every job
Listing clean-up
Your name, address and phone made consistent across Apple Maps, Bing, Yellow Pages, True Local, and the other directories Google cross-checks.
Q&A and spam watch
Common questions answered on your profile, and fake or rule-breaking competitor listings reported to Google.
Rank grid
Your position across the whole service area, plus calls and direction requests from Google, on one page.
Three results get the calls.
When someone searches for what you do near where you are, Google shows three businesses on the map. Everyone else scrolls past. Our whole job is putting you in that box and keeping you there.
How it works
No lock-in after the first 90 days. You'll know whether it's working, because you'll be able to see your position yourself.
Rank check
We map where you show up across your service area. Not one average number, but a grid of real positions suburb by suburb. Yours whether or not you hire us.

Profile rebuilt, categories corrected, directory listings cleaned up, review system switched on. The unglamorous part that moves most businesses several places on its own.
Weeks 1–3Build local ground
Suburb pages, job photos with real locations, posts Google reads as activity. Steady work rather than a one-off push, because the businesses above you aren't standing still.
OngoingReport in plain English
One page a month: where you rank, how many calls and direction requests came from Google, what we're doing next. No dashboards you'll never open.
Monthly
Recent moves
Average position across the client's core service area, before and after.
Wrong primary category for two years. Fixed it, added 40 reviews in four months, built pages for six suburbs.
No service area set and listings disagreeing across nine directories. Cleaned up, then steady review flow did the rest.
Competitive area, slowest of the three. Nine months of suburb pages and consistent posting to hold position.
Questions about Business Profile work
How long until I see movement?
You will see results within the first week. Majority of our clients get to top 3 within 90 days. Anyone promising the top three in thirty days is guessing or hoping.
Can you guarantee the top 3?
Yes, the only thing we cannot guarantee is the timeframe. Some more competitive areas and key words will take longer than others, and we will work tirelessly until we get you ranking in the top 3.
How can I check my ranking myself?
Search for your main service from a few different spots in your area, on your phone, logged out of Google. Results change with location, which is why we report a grid of positions across your whole service area instead of one number.
How much of my time does it take?
Very little, we handle a majority of things on our end, leaving you as much time to run your business as usual, if you can handle all the new customers you will be dealing with as a result of our services. We will regularly update you on where you're standing to ensure everything is running smoothly
Will you write reviews for us?
No. Fake reviews break Google's rules and Australian Consumer Law, and they get profiles suspended. We make it easy for your real customers to leave one. Genuine reviews give genuine results
I don't have a shopfront. Can I still show on the map?
Yes. Service-area businesses like tradies and mobile services can show on the map with their address hidden. We set the service area to match where you actually work. Look at our Marketing agency for example: no shopfront, ranking in the top 3.
My profile was suspended. Can you help?
Often, yes. Most suspensions come from a setting that breaks Google's guidelines, like keywords in the business name or an address you can't use. We fix the cause and lodge the reinstatement request.
