"I set up my profile years ago. It's fine."

That's what most business owners think. Here's the reality: Google rewards profiles that are actively managed. An inactive, incomplete profile is an invisible profile. While you've been sitting still, your competitors have been climbing.

Your Profile Is Probably Incomplete

Most GBP profiles are 40 to 60% complete. Missing categories, service areas, business descriptions and keyword-rich content are costing you rankings every single day.

Google Rewards Activity

Profiles that publish weekly posts consistently outrank dormant ones. If yours hasn't been touched in months, competitors who post weekly are beating you by default.

Reviews and Citations Matter

Businesses with 50 or more reviews get three times more profile views. And without consistent citations across the web, Google has no reason to trust your listing.

What's Included

Everything we do for you every month

100% done for you. You handle the jobs, we handle the visibility.

Full Profile Optimisation

We audit and fix everything holding your profile back. Categories, service areas, descriptions, keywords and photos — all updated from day one.

Most profiles are 40% incomplete. We fix that in week one.

Weekly Post Publishing

We publish keyword-rich posts every week on your behalf. This keeps your profile active and tells Google your business is the real deal in your area.

Consistent posting is one of the strongest local ranking signals.

Review Generation Strategy

We give you a simple, repeatable system to collect reviews from happy customers. More reviews mean more trust, higher rankings and more calls.

Businesses with 50+ reviews get 3x more profile views.

Local Keyword Targeting

We research exactly what your customers search for in your suburbs and build your profile around those terms, so you rank for searches that actually bring in work.

Ranking for the right searches is what turns views into calls.

Citation and Directory Building

We list your business consistently across high-authority directories like Yelp, Houzz, True Local and industry-specific platforms. This tells Google your business is legitimate and trustworthy.

Consistent citations are one of the key local ranking factors.

Monthly Ranking Reports

Clear monthly reporting showing your rankings across your service area, profile views and call volume. No vanity metrics, just the numbers that matter.

Full transparency every month. You'll always know where you stand.
Why It Works

How Google decides who ranks on Maps

Google Maps rankings aren't random. They're driven by a set of signals Google uses to verify your business is real, active and relevant. We work every one of them.

01

GBP Completeness and Activity

The more complete and active your Google Business Profile, the better you rank. Google rewards businesses that fill out every field, publish regular posts, respond to reviews and keep their listing up to date. We do all of this for you every month.

Profile Optimisation
02

Reviews and Reputation Signals

Volume, recency and your star rating are all ranking factors. A business with 20 recent five-star reviews will outrank one with 100 reviews from three years ago. Our review strategy keeps them coming in consistently.

Review Management
03

Citations — Your NAP Across the Web

Citations are mentions of your business name, address and phone number on external websites. When Google sees your details listed consistently across reputable directories, it treats your business as verified and trustworthy. Inconsistent or missing citations actively hurt your rankings.

Citation Building
04

Backlinks From Authoritative Sites

Backlinks are clickable links from other websites pointing to yours. They pass authority to your website, lifting both your organic search rankings and your Maps visibility. High-quality backlinks from trusted directories and industry platforms make a measurable difference.

Authority Building
Bonus: Website Tips

Your website affects your Maps ranking too

Most people don't realise that your website plays a direct role in how well you rank on Google Maps. Here are the basics we advise every client on.

NAP Consistency

Match Your Business Details Exactly

Your business name, address and phone number on your website should be an exact match to what's on your Google Business Profile. Even small differences like "St" vs "Street" can confuse Google and reduce your ranking.

Local SEO

Use Your Suburb Names in Your Content

Pages that mention the specific suburbs and areas you service help Google understand where you operate. A plumber in Brisbane who has a page about emergency plumbing in Paddington will outrank one who doesn't.

Technical

Make Sure Your Site Loads Fast on Mobile

Google uses your website's mobile speed as a ranking signal. A slow-loading site on mobile hurts your search rankings and loses you customers who hit back before the page loads. Google PageSpeed Insights will show you where you stand.

What Clients Say

Real results from real businesses

Business owners across Australia who were exactly where you are now.

Went from nowhere on Google Maps to top 3 in my suburb within 6 weeks. Now getting 4 to 5 calls a week just from Maps. For $297 a month it's a no-brainer.

C
Chris M.
Plumber, Melbourne

They fixed our profile and we started ranking for new search terms within a month. Getting enquiries from suburbs we didn't even know were searching for us.

S
Sarah T.
Cleaning Business, Brisbane

Now ranking above competitors who've been in the area for 20 years. The monthly reports make it easy to see what's improving and where we stand.

T
Tom B.
Landscaper, Perth

We started seeing more profile views almost straight away, then calls picked up over the next few weeks. Simple service, clear reporting, and it just works.

A
Adam R.
Electrician, Sydney

Before this we barely showed up in Maps. Now we're consistently in the top results for the areas we actually want work from.

L
Lisa K.
Pool Service, Gold Coast

Best part is they handled the whole thing for us. We did not need to learn anything or chase anything. Just started getting more enquiries.

J
Josh P.
Pressure Cleaning, Brisbane

Our profile looks far more professional now and we're showing up for more suburb searches. It has definitely helped with local trust.

M
Megan H.
Roofing, Adelaide

The value is ridiculous for the price. We were paying more than this for stuff that did nothing. This actually moved rankings.

D
Dean W.
Fencing, Sydney

We started getting more direct calls from people who found us on Maps instead of through referrals only. Exactly what we wanted.

R
Ryan C.
Car Detailing, Melbourne

The reports are easy to read and the rankings improved faster than I expected. Good service and no fluff.

K
Kelly N.
Pest Control, Perth

Within two months we were ranking in areas where we had basically no visibility before. It has opened up a lot more local work.

B
Ben S.
Removalist, Hobart

This has been a very easy add-on for our business. Better visibility, more calls, and no lock-in made it an easy yes.

N
Nathan G.
Carpenter, Gold Coast

We wanted something affordable that still made a difference. This did. More impressions, better visibility, and better looking profile overall.
