We get Google Business Profiles into the top of Google Maps across the US and Europe. Not "we'll fill out your profile" — work on every ranking factor, with results you can see on a grid (a city-wide map of ranking measurements) and leads in the CRM.
Profile audit — $35
Most business owners assume Google Maps marketing means filling out the profile. Photos, description, categories — why pay for that? The truth is, a filled-out profile delivers about a third of the result. Your Maps position is decided by the sum of ranking factors (Moz maintains a detailed overview of local search factors), and we work on all of them:
Categories, services, attributes, photos, posts, data freshness — the foundation, but only the foundation. Official requirements are in the Google Business Profile help center.
Google connects the profile to the website: page relevance for services and neighborhoods directly moves Maps rankings.
Consistent mentions of your name, address and phone across directories and platforms — a trust signal for Google.
The quantity, freshness and content of reviews strongly affect rankings. We provide a documented strategy and templates for collecting reviews from your customers — collecting reviews stays on your side, the strategy on ours.
Calls, driving directions, website clicks, profile interactions — Google sees how people respond to your business.
On social media people scroll a feed while ads chase them by interests — maybe they'll need it someday. Google Maps is the opposite: the person is right now searching for your service near them. "Auto repair near me", "cleaning today", "manicure in my area" — that is a ready customer choosing whom to call (this is how local search works in general). The only question is who sits at the top when they search.
Competition depends on the location: breaking into the top in Manhattan, Miami or Los Angeles takes time and systematic work. But that is exactly what we do — as the grids below confirm. And unlike ads, an organic top spot brings inquiries without ad spend — for years.
Every dot on a grid is the profile's Google Maps position in that part of the city for a target query. Red — you're invisible; green — top 3. These are US projects: beauty salons, auto shops, restaurants, movers, cleaners, remodelers — including the most competitive markets: New York, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco.
Google refreshes its local search index roughly once a month, and we see the dynamics 2–3 weeks after a refresh. Hence the realistic timeline to first results — 3+ months. The work then keeps going: competitors move too, and holding the top is an ongoing process. That is why clients work with us for years.
If you need results faster, we add profile ads (Google Ads in Maps): they bring inquiries right away but require a budget. Organic is slower to start — and then brings customers without ad spend.
A filled-out profile is roughly 30% of the result. The rest comes from the other ranking factors: your website and its local pages, citations (NAP mentions in directories), reviews, and behavioral signals. That is why a profile with "just photos and a description" sits at positions 15–20, while a profile with the factors worked through reaches the top 3.

Yes. Cleaners, movers, handymen and other service businesses without a physical location (Service Area Business) are promoted in Maps across their service area. We work with such projects. And if you have a location that is not verified, we help you pass verification when the required documents are available.
Not every one. If the person really was your customer, their review will in most cases stay. But if it is a competitor attack or a fake review — we work with such cases, and that service exists. In parallel, we provide a documented strategy and templates for collecting more genuine reviews from your own customers.
Everything starts with a $35 audit — it shows your current rankings, the competition in your location, and exactly what needs to be done. Project support is from $550 per month; the final price depends on the starting point, the competition, and add-ons: Google Ads, LSA, end-to-end analytics. After the audit you receive an individual proposal.
Google Maps is already changing: Ask Maps lets you ask Maps a question and get business recommendations; Know Before You Go answers questions about a place before you visit. Profile data, reviews and the website are what AI reads when deciding whom to recommend. Optimizing the profile for this is worth doing now — and the same work helps the business appear in ChatGPT and other AI tools' recommendations. Systematic AI visibility work is a separate service: AI search visibility.
On social media people scroll a feed while ads chase them by interests. On Google Maps people are right now searching for your service near them — hot demand, not general interest. Someone who typed "cleaning near me" is ready to book today.
