A Google Business Profile (GBP) can help businesses get more calls, bookings, and get ahead of their competitors. Like a website, it's one of the most effective marketing tools that any business can use and it's completely free to set up with Google. When you optimize and manage it correctly, it can drive your revenue growth by bringing in leads and jobs consistently every month.
When you hire our digital marketing services, we can help optimize your Google Business Profile to rank higher in the search map pack when people look for your services online. If you've tried to set one up before and need help getting verified or the profile was suspended, we can also help guide you through the process.
Google Profile Optimization Services
To get the most business benefit from your Google Business Profile, it needs to be optimized correctly. Simply setting one up and letting it sit with basic information won't bring you any new clients. Choosing the right business categories and services, consistently collecting and responding to reviews, adding high-quality photos and posts to your profile, and setting up a business address play a big role in how and when you show up in search. From electricians to accountants in Milwaukee, our clients have seen an increase in leads after hiring us for Google Profile optimization and management as well as seo services.
Our services also extend beyond just making changes to your profile. Google needs to know that all the information on your listing is correct, and it does so by checking external sources like your Facebook page, website, and local citations (profiles on other websites). We take everything into account to ensure you get every advantage possible. As your digital marketing partner, we'll help you make the best decisions, so your business can grow.
These are the types of services you can expect:
- Update and optimize your business categories for accuracy
- Add photos and posts to your GBP
- Do a competitor analysis to see what's working for them
- Respond to customer reviews
- Verify that your hours and profile information are correct across all platforms
- Add citations on other websites to increase Google's trust and legitimacy in your business
- Guide you on how to easily collect reviews from clients

The Importance of Optimizing Your GBP
When people search for your services or a type of place in your area, the very first thing Google shows to people in the search results is the Google Map Pack. These map-based results are listings that Google thinks best fit the intended search. If you own a roofing company in Milwaukee, you want Google to show your profile when someone searches "roofers near me" or if you own a law firm, you'll want to show up when someone looks for "law offices in Milwaukee". Chances are that if someone is looking for these specific services, they're ready to buy at this point.
When it comes to your GBP, constant activity is key to increasing your rankings and maintaining them. That's why it's essential to constantly get clients to leave you reviews, respond to reviews, post photos and posts to show Google you're staying active and responsive to clients. As a business owner, keeping up with everything you already need to do and adding a GBP to that can be overwhelming. Red Eclipse Design can help maintain and optimize your profile so you can continue to get clients while focusing on your business.
