Show up in the map pack when someone nearby searches for what you sell.
Google Business Profile setup, category strategy, reviews, and local citations — for businesses that live and die by "near me" searches.
Why "near me" searches skip you
When someone searches "electrician near me" or "best bakery in Jayanagar", Google shows a map with three results before it shows a single website. If your business isn't set up properly there, you don't exist for that search — no matter how good your website is.
Most local profiles are half-finished: wrong category, no photos, no posts, reviews nobody's ever responded to. Google notices, and ranks accordingly.
Local search mostly comes down to consistency — the right category, current information, real photos, and regular activity, kept up over time, not set once and forgotten.
What you get
This pairs naturally with broader SEO & AI search visibility work, and needs a fast website to send that map-pack traffic to. On its own, it covers:
- Google Business Profile creation, or claiming one you already have
- Category and attribute strategy so you show up for the right searches
- Photos that actually represent your business, not stock images
- Service area setup for businesses that travel to customers
- Initial posts so the profile looks active from day one
- Weekly posts, review responses, and citation building (Managed tier)

Posts and reviews, ongoing
Weekly activity and review responses that keep the profile looking active, because Google rewards that.

Common questions
Do I need a physical shop to use Google Business Profile?
No — service-area businesses like electricians, plumbers, or consultants can set a service area instead of a storefront address.
What if someone already claimed my business on Google?
It happens more than you'd think. I can help you verify ownership and take the listing back.
How fast does map pack ranking move?
Faster than organic Google SEO, usually — weeks rather than months, though it depends how competitive your category is.
Do you respond to reviews as me?
I draft responses in your voice and you approve them, or I respond directly if you'd rather not deal with it — your call.
What counts as a citation?
Your business name, address, and phone number listed consistently on other directories — JustDial, IndiaMART, Sulekha, and so on. Inconsistent listings actually hurt your ranking.
Can I do the Setup tier and stop there?
Yes. Setup is one-time with no ongoing commitment. Managed is there if you want the profile actively worked every week.
