Google Business Profile management
Google Business Profile Management.
Your Google Business Profile, still called Google My Business by a lot of people, is the biggest factor in whether locals find you on Google Maps. We run it for you as an ongoing system: the optimisation, the reviews, the posts and the reporting, so you win more of the calls that go to the map pack.

Your profile is your shop window now
For most local searches, your Google Business Profile is the first thing a customer sees, long before your website. The businesses in the map pack take the calls, and the profile that looks complete, active and well-reviewed is the one Google puts there.
A one-off tidy-up fades in weeks. Run properly and kept current, the same profile keeps climbing. That's the difference between setting it up and managing it.
What we manage on your profile
We run your Google Business Profile continuously, which is why it keeps climbing rather than stalling after week two.
A profile rebuilt to rank
Every field completed in the words your customers search: primary and secondary categories, services, description, attributes and links. A half-finished profile quietly loses to a complete one.
A steady flow of reviews
We help you build genuine, detailed reviews and reply to every one in your voice. Reviews that describe your services are among the strongest local ranking signals.
Fresh posts and photos
Google favours profiles that look active this month. We publish regular posts and optimise and republish relevant business photography as part of the strategy.
Monitoring and reporting
Round-the-clock monitoring, unfair reviews flagged with Google, and a monthly street-by-street heatmap so you can see your ranking move.
You always stay the owner
We work as a manager on your account, never the owner. If you ever leave, everything we build stays with you: the reviews, the photos, the posts and the rankings. Your profile management sits alongside your Google Maps SEO and AI search visibility, so we join them up rather than treating them separately.

Google Business Profile management, answered
It's the ongoing job of running your Google Business Profile (still called Google My Business by plenty of people) so it ranks and brings in enquiries. That means keeping the profile complete and accurate, building reviews, publishing posts and photos, and monitoring for changes, rather than setting it up once and leaving it.
Yes. Google renamed Google My Business (GMB) to Google Business Profile (GBP) in 2022. It's the same free listing that shows your business on Google Search and Google Maps. We manage it end to end, whichever name you know it by.
You can, and the basics are worth doing. The catch is that a profile fades without steady attention: reviews dry up, posts stop, Google edits things, and competitors who keep at it drift ahead. Management is about running it every week as a system, which is what keeps it climbing instead of stalling.
Google edits profiles without asking: services vanish, hours change, categories get swapped, and sometimes members of the public suggest edits. We monitor your profile and put those changes right, usually before they cost you anything.
It depends on how competitive your area is, how many locations you have and the scope of work. Foundly starts at £295 a month per location, with no contract. We start with a free visibility audit, show you where you stand, then recommend the right level of support.
It depends on your competition and starting point. This is a steady build rather than an overnight switch, usually measured in weeks and months, not days. Google rewards consistency, so we run it continuously and show you progress on a monthly report.
A lot of local businesses have. You're not tied into a long contract, the reporting is plain English, and every month you can see your ranking move. If it isn't working, you'll see that too, and you can leave. We start with a free audit so you can judge us before spending anything.
Yes, always. You stay the owner and we work as a manager on the account. If you ever leave, everything stays with you: the profile, the reviews, the photos and the rankings.
Not much. About 20 minutes at the start, manager access to your Google Business Profile, a bit about your services and best customers, and photos when you have them. After that we run it, and you approve what you want to.
