    Google Business Profile Management

    for local service businesses in Vancouver WA and Portland OR

    Someone owns your profile every month: posting, answering questions, fixing hours, and keeping the service list honest so the record stays clean.

    From $997

    Who is supposed to be updating my Google listing every month?

    Most shops set the listing up once and never touch it again. Somebody has to post, add photos, answer the public questions strangers leave, correct holiday hours, and keep the service list matching what you sell today. That is what this is. One person owns the profile so it never sits stale for a year.

    What this actually includes

    Google Business Profile management puts one person in charge of your listing every month: writing posts, uploading real job photos, answering public questions, and correcting hours and services for a flat $997, no contract or setup fee.

    This is hands-on ownership of the listing itself. Each month we publish posts tied to work you actually do, upload photos from real jobs with correct file data, and check that hours, holiday hours, phone, and address still read right. Nothing gets posted that you have not seen the plan for.

    The public Q&A section gets watched. Strangers ask things there, and a wrong answer from a stranger sits on your listing forever unless somebody replies. We answer them in your voice and seed the questions your office already gets on the phone.

    Your service list gets rewritten and then kept honest. If you drop a service in March, it comes off in March. If you add one, it goes on with a description written in the words a buyer would use. Categories get checked against the jobs you sell, not the jobs you sold in 2019.

    Every 30 days you get a geo-grid across your service area and a presence check across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Mode and other AI assistants, showing whether each one names you and whether the details it repeats are correct. We monitor AI presence and accuracy — we don't claim algorithm access. Google publishes the rules we work inside in its Business Profile guidelines.

    Who this is for

    Owners who claimed their Google listing years ago and never logged back in belong here. Hours sit wrong on holidays, photos show an old truck, and public questions under the listing go unanswered while a competitor gets the call.

    This is for the owner who claimed the profile years ago and has not logged in since. The hours are wrong for one holiday a year. There are four photos, all from the old truck. Two questions sit unanswered under the listing.

    Plumbing and electrical shops land here most often, because the phone rings enough that nobody has time to be the listing person. It is always the third thing on somebody's list and it never moves up.

    This is not the same as a one-time cleanup. If your profile has never been set up right and you want it fixed once, that is a different job. This is the ongoing hand on the wheel, month after month, so the record does not drift back.

    How it works

    Manager access on the profile is the one thing needed from you. Posts, photos, review replies, and field corrections then run every month, with a report showing exactly what changed, all at a flat $997 and no contract.

    Start with the free audit. No card, no contract, delivered in about 10 minutes. It shows your Google Maps position, the competitor appearing in the top 3 most often, and five AI results.

    Then we take the wheel. You grant manager access, we do a full pass on categories, services, hours, and description, and we set the posting and photo calendar for the year.

    After that it runs monthly: posts out, photos up, questions answered, reviews replied to, grid re-run, report sent. Flat rate, no contract, no setup fee, cancel anytime. Our AI Overview experts handle the reading side of the same record.

    You keep ownership of the profile the entire time. We work as a manager on your account, never as the owner, so nothing is held over you if you leave. Anything we plan to publish in a given month is listed in the report before it goes out, and you can strike any item from it without a conversation.
