Google Business Profile setup

For a local contractor, your Google Business Profile is usually worth more than your website. It's also free, and most contractors have never finished setting theirs up.

Why it outranks the website

When someone searches 'plumber near me', the map results sit above everything else. That block is driven by your Business Profile, not your site. If the profile is thin, you're invisible where it matters most.

The category is the biggest lever

Your primary category influences map ranking more than anything else you control. Picking it correctly, and adding the right secondary categories, is a ten-minute job that most people get wrong once and never revisit.

Service areas done properly

Listing every town within an hour looks appealing and works badly. There's a right way to define this, and it makes a real difference to which searches you appear in.

Reviews are the flywheel

Ten genuine reviews will move you further than any amount of website work. We'll set up a process for asking that doesn't feel awkward and doesn't break Google's rules.
