Type "dentist near me" into a phone anywhere in Indian Land and three pinned businesses appear above the first website. Lots of people never scroll past those pins.
The pins are drawn from Business Profiles. Google weighs the category you chose, how thorough and accurate the listing is, what reviewers say, and how far you are from the person searching. You can't move closer, but you can do the rest well, and it rarely costs much.
The playbook, step by step
- 01
Pick the right primary category
It carries more weight than anything else on the listing. We look at what the top local results use and choose the closest honest match.
- 02
Match name, address and phone everywhere
Your listing, website and directories should agree character for character.
- 03
Set a truthful service area
List the places you really go: Indian Land, Fort Mill, Marvin, wherever the trucks actually drive.
- 04
Write the services list in customer language
Link each service to the page on your website that covers it, not just the home page.
- 05
Keep photos coming
Real jobs, your team, your vehicles. We show you what's missing and what to shoot next.
- 06
Ask for reviews, and answer them
A short review link plus a habit of asking right after a job goes well. We never write, buy or fake a review.
- 07
Post now and then
Seasonal offers, finished projects, new services: small posts that show the listing is looked after.
How we work on it with you
You get the playbook written for your business, in priority order. We walk through it together, and you or your office manager makes each change while we watch and explain. Your listing stays yours. We never take manager access to it. On a monthly SEO plan, a new round of listing tasks arrives every month.
The profile works best when it points to a website that backs it up. If yours doesn't, start with the website. To see how these services get priced, read the pricing sheet.
Google profile RFIs
RFI 01Do you need manager access to my listing?
ResponseNever. The playbook is written so that you, or someone you trust in the office, makes every change. We go through it together by phone or screen share.
RFI 02I work out of a truck. Can I hide my home address?
ResponseYes. A service-area business can keep its address private and show the communities it covers instead.
RFI 03How soon will I see a difference?
ResponseCorrecting a mismatched category or outdated contact details can register in a matter of weeks. Reviews and photos pay off more slowly.
