For most local businesses, the Google Business Profile does more selling than the website. It is free, and most of them are only half set up.

Local search rewards a few things above everything else: the right primary category, being close to the person searching, and a steady stream of genuine reviews. Most of the work is getting those basics right and keeping them current.
I start with an audit of how your business appears today on Google, Bing, Apple Maps, and AI assistants, including old addresses or names that are still floating around. Then we fix the profile, line up the listings, and set up a review routine your team can actually keep doing.
I manage profiles like this for client businesses, and I write about it in Field Notes, so the approach is based on what moves results, not on a checklist from 2019.
Pricing
A one-time setup and cleanup project, quoted after the audit. Ongoing posting and review support is available, with no long-term contract.

Before you reach out.
Can you guarantee a top spot on Google Maps?+
No one honestly can. Rankings depend partly on how close the searcher is to you, which nobody controls. What I can do is make sure nothing on your side is holding you back, and that is where most businesses are losing.
Can you remove bad reviews?+
Only Google can remove reviews, and only ones that break its rules. What works better is replying well to every review and getting more recent reviews from happy customers.
Does this help with AI search too?+
Yes. AI assistants pull from the same signals: your Google profile, consistent listings, reviews, and clear facts on your website. Getting those right is the foundation for both.
