Google Business Profile Optimization
Are you losing customers to competitors who rank above you on Google Maps? Unlock the most powerful tool for local SEO.
“Most businesses have not even claimed their profile, missing out on a huge marketing opportunity.” – David Grubb, owner of Shepherds Loft.
The Problem: Most Profiles Are Set Up Incorrectly.
Did you know that selecting a secondary service as your primary category can completely prevent your profile from showing up in local searches?
Or that putting your exact home address for a service-area business can get you penalized?
Or that using a standard @gmail.com email for an established domain can trigger an immediate reverification suspension?
The Top 3 Google Business Profiles Are The Winners
When a potential customer searches for your services, they don’t look past the first page. In fact, their eyes go straight to the middle of the screen: The Google Map Pack.
If your business isn’t showing up there, you are leaving money on the table. At Shepherds Loft, our Google Business Profile (GBP) Optimization service is designed to solve the two biggest hurdles local businesses face:
- Reason #1: Gaining Prime Position on the Map. A fully completed, optimized profile boosts your local SEO rankings in the map pack, putting you front and center when locals search for your exact services.
- Reason #2: Driving 80% of Your Traffic. Your GBP links directly to your website. This creates a powerful “citation” and passes massive authority to your site. Historically, a fully optimized GBP link can account for up to 80% of a local business’s website traffic!
