The First 90 Days
Days 1 to 14: the audit and the fix list
We check the primary and secondary categories against the three businesses in your map pack, verify the name, address, phone and hours match the website and every directory, fill every empty field, upload photos, add services with descriptions, write the business description and set the service area. Most profiles we take over have 30 to 40 percent of fields empty.
Days 15 to 45: reviews and posts
The review program starts (ask list, link, templates), weekly posting begins, Q&A is seeded. This is when calls from the profile usually start rising.
Days 46 to 90: expansion
We add product or service entries with photos, test secondary categories, build the Houston citations the competitors have and you don’t, and tune posts to the services that produce calls. By day 90 the profile is in the pack for the main category in your part of Houston or we tell you exactly why not.
Suspended or Disabled Google Business Profile?
Google suspends Houston profiles for the same six reasons: a virtual office or coworking address, a business name with added keywords, a category that doesn’t match the website, a service-area business showing an address, multiple profiles for one location, or an edit that tripped a review. We find the cause, fix the profile and the website so they match, gather the evidence Google asks for (utility bill, signage photo, business license) and file the reinstatement. Most reinstatements come back within 5 to 10 business days.
GBP for Service-Area Businesses in Houston
Plumbers, cleaners, movers, mobile notaries and photographers who travel to the client should hide the address and set the service area to the cities and ZIP codes they actually cover: Houston, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, Katy, Pearland, Cypress, Spring. Google ranks service-area businesses by the city the searcher is in, so a profile that lists the whole metro competes everywhere and wins nowhere. We set the area to where you want calls, and build a page on the website for each.
Why Houston Businesses Hire Us to Run Their Profile
We manage our own profile in Rice Village and the profiles of our clients across Houston, so we see what the map pack rewards in this market every week. The person posting and replying is on our team page, not an offshore contractor. And GBP management is reported on the same monthly call as the rest of your SEO, so you see the calls it produces next to the calls from the website.
Pricing
Google Business Profile management is included in every package on the SEO pricing packages page. Multi-location pricing is per profile.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About GBP Management
Have questions about optimizing your Google Business Profile? Here are clear answers regarding Google Maps rankings, profile reinstatements, local visibility strategies, and how to attract more local customers.
Optimization is the one-time setup: categories, fields, photos, services, description. Management is the monthly work after that: posts, reviews, Q&A, photos and updates. Optimization without management decays within a few months as competitors keep posting and collecting reviews.
Yes. Many clients post their own job photos and we handle the scheduled posts, reviews and updates. We share a calendar so nothing doubles up.
We give you the list, the link and the message each month; the ask comes from you or your staff, because Google and your customers both prefer it that way. We respond to every review that comes in.
