What $250 buys
$250
One time. No contracts, no monthly fees.
One new customer from Google and this pays for itself.
A one-time foundation buys the work that only needs doing once, done right. The categories, the description, the services, the photos, the accuracy, the guideline check. None of that needs a monthly fee to maintain itself. So we do the foundation, hand it back, and show you the small bit of upkeep you can do yourself.
One thing you can confirm yourself right now: that your website actually links to your profile. Our free website checker tests for exactly that.
| Do It Yourself | Done for You | |
|---|---|---|
| Time investment | 8+ hours of research | We handle everything |
| Risk of errors | High. Wrong categories, missing fields, guideline issues | Built by a specialist following Google's guidelines |
| Maintenance guidance | You're on your own | Handover guide included |
| Turnaround | Whenever you get to it | Done in 5–10 days |
What actually moves your ranking
The honest list. Most of this undercuts a monthly retainer, which is exactly why you rarely hear it.
- 01
Your primary category is the biggest thing you control.
This is the single most important setting on the whole profile. Google uses it to decide who you even show up for. Pick general contractor when you are really a roofer, and Google shows you to the wrong people, or to no one. We get this right first.
- 02
Proximity is a ceiling, not a dial.
Google weighs how physically close you are to the person searching. Nobody can change your address, so nobody can promise you the top spot in a town across the county. Anyone telling you otherwise is selling you something.
- 03
Recent reviews with real words beat weekly posts.
A review from last week with an actual sentence in it carries real weight with Google. A schedule of canned posts mostly does not. So we will not sell you a posting calendar. We set you up to ask for reviews the right way, because that is the lever that actually pulls.
- 04
A complete profile beats a busy one.
Most of optimization is just filling in everything Google already asks for, completely and correctly. Categories, services, hours, photos, attributes, all of it. Done right once, it keeps working without you logging in every week.
- 05
Following Google's rules keeps you ranked and out of suspension.
Keyword-stuffed business names and fake addresses can get you a quiet demotion, or your profile pulled entirely. We run your profile against Google's current guidelines so it stays clean. One suspension can cost you weeks.
Everything in your profile optimization
All of this comes with the $250. Nothing extra to buy.
Common questions
The questions most pages won't answer straight.
Is this a one-time fix or do I need a monthly service?
One time. You pay $250, we do the work, and we hand it back with a short guide for keeping it up. The foundation we build does not need a monthly fee to stay standing. Ongoing management is its own thing, and most local businesses don't need to pay for it month after month once the profile is set up right.
Can I just do this myself?
Honestly, yes, you could. It's mostly filling in what Google asks for, completely and correctly, and following the current guidelines. The catch is knowing which settings actually matter, like your primary category, and which ones are a waste of time. That's what you're paying us for. And we teach you the upkeep so you're not stuck after.
How long until I see results?
Your changes index in Google in a few days to about two weeks. Ranking usually starts moving in two to eight weeks, with the bigger gains landing in one to three months. It depends on your proximity, your competition, and how your reviews grow. Anyone who promises you the top spot by next week is guessing.
What if I don't have a Google Business Profile yet?
Then we create one and set it up right from the start. Same $250, same work. You're not paying extra for not having one already.
What if my profile gets suspended?
We check for the common causes up front, before they become a problem. But Google's automated systems sometimes flag profiles unpredictably, even clean ones. If anything comes up while we're working on yours, we walk you through it and get it sorted.
Do I need to give you access to my Google account?
We need Manager access to your Google Business Profile, not your whole Google account, and we walk you through granting it step by step. That access lets us do the work without ever touching the rest of your account. When we hand the profile back, you remove our access in a couple of clicks. We'll show you how.
