Services / Google Business Profile

Found on Google Maps,
by customers nearby.

I put your Google Business Profile in order so you show up on the map and in local searches, with correct details, photos, reviews and everything that makes you look serious. For a local business, this is often the cheapest new customer you will get.

From me

Sarghy, founder of Sarghy Design

Plenty of local businesses have a good-looking site and an empty Google profile, with the wrong address and one photo from 2016. And the person searching for “X near me” never reaches the site — they look at the map, read the reviews, and call whoever looks serious.

The Google Business Profile is free and, for a local business, it often brings in more than the site does. I set it up fully and correctly, so that when someone nearby searches, they find you and not the competitor across the road.

Why it matters

Why the Google profile decides it, locally

01

Customers search “near me”

More and more, people look for a service nearby on their phone and choose straight off the map, without opening a single site. If you are not there, you do not exist for them, however good your site is.

02

Reviews make you or break you

The rating and the reviews are the first thing they see. A profile with 4.8 and replies to reviews earns trust; one with 3.2 and silence loses customers before they ever call.

03

Wrong details cost you customers

Wrong opening hours, an old phone number, an address that is off — someone turns up when you are closed or rings a dead line, gets annoyed and goes to the next one. Small details like these chase customers away daily.

What I do

What I cover, piece by piece

From claiming the profile to reviews handled properly. Here is each piece.

Setup & claiming

I claim or create the profile, verify the business and set everything correctly: name, category, address, opening hours, service area.

Local optimisation

Categories, description, services and local keywords, so you show up on as many relevant searches around you as possible.

Reviews

A way of collecting reviews and templates for replying to them. Good reviews, handled well, are the best local marketing there is.

Photos & posts

Good photos, kept current, and posts at regular intervals. A live profile looks serious; a dead one looks closed.

Q&A and messages

Frequent questions answered in advance and messaging switched on properly, so you catch the customer when they are ready to get in touch.

Stats

I show you what people search to find you, how many call, how many ask for directions. Real data, not guesswork.

How I work

From an empty profile to customers who call

  1. 01

    Audit

    I look at your profile and at the competitors around you: what you have, what is missing, where you are losing customers.

  2. 02

    Setup

    I claim and verify the profile and correct every detail. The base has to be clean before anything else.

  3. 03

    Optimisation

    Categories, description, services, photos, local keywords. Everything that helps you show up and convince.

  4. 04

    Reviews

    I put collecting and answering reviews in order. This is where a local customer's trust is won.

  5. 05

    Monitoring

    I watch the stats, update and adjust. A local profile is maintained, not set up once.
