Why Your GBP Isn't
Pulling Its Weight

Wrong Categories

Using the wrong primary category kills ranking potential instantly. Google relies on this to understand what you do.

Weak Signals

Profiles with stale photos and zero posts tell Google the business is inactive, leading to lower visibility in the Map Pack.

Poor Reviews

Inconsistent review velocity or unanswered feedback hurts your trust score. Recency matters as much as the star rating.

No Tracking

Without UTM tracking, you can't separate organic site visits from GBP clicks. You're flying blind on ROI.

The Solution

Precision Optimisation

Structure

Category Logic

Aligning Primary and Secondary categories with actual search volume in Devon to maximise relevance.

Content

Services & Copy

Structuring service lists and business descriptions to align with local queries (e.g., "Emergency Plumber Exeter").

Visuals

Photo Strategy

Geotagged photos that build trust and prove local relevance to both users and Google's algorithm.

Activity

Posts Cadence

A simple, consistent posting schedule (Updates & Offers) that keeps the profile active without burnout.

Reputation

Review System

Implementing ethical prompts to generate reviews and responding with keyword-rich (but natural) replies.

Data

Conversion Data

Advanced UTM tagging to measure exactly how many leads originate directly from your Maps listing.

The Growth Mechanism

Maps Impressions

Optimisation pushes you into the top 3 spots for local keywords.

Calls & Actions

High intent users click to call or request directions immediately.

Revenue

More qualified local leads directly impacting your bottom line.

Common Questions

Do you guarantee #1 rankings?

No agency can legitimately guarantee a #1 spot on Google. However, my process maximizes your probability of entering the "Map Pack" (top 3) where the majority of calls happen.

How often should I post on GBP?

You don't need to post daily. A consistent cadence of 1-2 posts per week is usually sufficient to signal activity to Google and keep users informed about offers or updates.

I operate from home. Can I still rank?

Yes. We can set you up as a Service Area Business (SAB), hiding your address on Maps while still ranking for the areas you serve (e.g., "Plumber in Torquay").

How long does optimisation take?

Initial technical optimisation takes about 1-2 weeks. However, seeing ranking movements typically takes 30-90 days as Google re-crawls and re-assesses your trust signals.
