Full GBP setup or optimisation for small UK businesses. Map-pack ranking, photos, services, products, Q&A and review strategy. Included free with every £650 website build. Available standalone for businesses with an existing site.
A finished GBP is the single biggest lever for local visibility — bigger than the website, for many service businesses. Everything below gets done.
The wrong primary category is the most common reason small businesses can't rank locally. Researched and set properly.
Each service listed with descriptions, price ranges and proper attributes. Products listed where applicable.
10-15 photos uploaded with proper geo-tags and metadata. Interior, exterior, team, work samples, logo, cover image.
For service-area businesses (trades, mobile beauty): service areas defined to postcode. For storefronts: pin-accurate address and entry point.
Regular hours, special hours, holiday hours, emergency call-out hours where applicable. Updated as the business changes.
Branded short-URL that goes direct to the review form. Email/SMS templates for after each job. Printed cards if useful.
Weekly or monthly post cadence — services, offers, news, recent work. Keeps the profile fresh in Google's eyes.
Seed the top 5-10 questions customers ask, with answered responses from the business. Pre-empts misinformation.
Name, Address, Phone matched across the website, GBP, all citations and directories. Inconsistency kills local ranking.
Your business's listing on Google Maps and Google Search. It's what shows up in the local "map pack" — those three results with a map at the top of local searches. Free to set up, but most small businesses leave it half-done.
Yes — full setup or optimisation of your existing profile is part of the build. Categories, services, opening hours, photos, geo-tagged images, posts, Q&A. The lot.
Yes. Most existing profiles are missing categories, services, products, geo-tagged photos and regular posts. Audit + optimisation typically takes 2-3 hours and moves map-pack ranking noticeably within a few weeks.
Three angles: a short branded review-request URL that goes straight to the review form (not the GBP listing), an email/SMS template you send after every job, and a printed card for in-person handover. No fake reviews, no incentives — Google catches both.
