Your listing on Maps, looked after every month
Google Business Profile management is the work that keeps your listing complete, active and trusted, so more people call you from Google Maps. Our team handles it for firms across the UK from £189 a month.

Your profile is often the first thing a customer sees, before your website. It shows your reviews, photos, hours, services and a call button. For local searches it decides whether you appear in the map at all.
Most profiles are set up once and left. Categories are guessed, services are missing, photos are years old and reviews go unanswered. Google notices, and so do customers.
Management means somebody checks and updates all of it every month, posts regularly, answers questions and reviews, and keeps your details identical across the web.
Every item we check and keep current. Google my business optimisation is the same job under the old name.
Google Maps SEO decides where your listing appears when someone searches inside the Maps app or sees the map pack in search. Google looks at relevance, distance and prominence.
Distance is fixed by where you are, but relevance and prominence respond to work. Google maps optimisation means the right categories, a complete service list, steady reviews and mentions on other trusted sites.
Activity also helps. Profiles that post, add photos and answer reviews tend to hold their positions better than ones that go quiet.
Local citations are mentions of your business name, address and phone number on other sites: directories, trade bodies, review sites and local listings. Google compares them with your profile. When they disagree, trust drops.
Our citation building services start with a clean-up. We find old addresses, wrong numbers and duplicate listings, then correct or remove them. Moving premises or changing phone numbers often leaves a trail of errors for years.
After the clean-up, we add your business to the directories that matter for your trade and area. Quality matters far more than count; a few hundred low-grade directory listings add nothing.
Citations are part of every Local and National package. If your business serves Sheffield, our page on local SEO in Sheffield shows how citations fit into wider local work. For firms elsewhere, the Sheffield SEO team works the same way across the UK.
Reviews move rankings and win customers. These are the rules we follow.

A clinic and a trade, both relying on Maps.
Revenue logged from organic search and the Google Business Profile over seven months, across 957 conversions. The profile brought 2,667 contacts and $82,022; organic results added $21,210. Paid ads are excluded.
Monthly contacts from the Google Business Profile rose from 40 in the first month to 346 in month four, with 1,392 profile contacts over seven months. This client also ran ads, so we only use it to show profile growth.
The steps we follow when a new client hands us their listing.
You add us as a manager. You stay the owner and can remove us at any time.
We check every field, category, photo and review against your top three competitors.
Wrong details, duplicate listings and old citations are fixed in the first fortnight.
Posts, photos, questions and review replies start on a monthly schedule.
Firms with several branches need a profile for each, with its own categories, photos, reviews and a matching page on the website. Branches that share one profile, or point at the home page, tend to lose to single-site competitors in each area.
We set up and manage each branch separately while keeping names, brands and details consistent across them.
Service-area businesses such as plumbers, cleaners and mobile mechanics can hide their address and list the areas they cover instead. Done well, this widens the searches a profile appears for without breaking Google's rules.
Done badly, with dozens of towns listed that the business never visits, it can lead to a suspension. We set service areas to where you really work.
Profile management is included in two of our packages.
Local package a month, profile fully managed
National package a month, profile plus wider work
