Most contractors set up their Google Business Profile once, filled out the basics, and never touched it again. That abandoned profile is what's standing between you and the top of Google Maps. GBP optimization is a full rebuild done by specialists who know exactly what Google's algorithm rewards in your trade and your city.
An optimized GBP isn't just a completed profile. It's a profile that sends the strongest possible ranking signals to Google, in the right categories, with the right service keywords, in the right service areas, with the right attributes enabled. Most contractors are missing 60-80% of these signals. That gap is why a newer competitor with less experience is ranking above you.
Your primary and secondary categories tell Google what type of business you are. Most contractors pick one category and stop. We research the full category set used by top-ranked competitors in your market and build the right stack for your trade.
Incorrectly configured service areas are one of the most common reasons contractors rank in some zip codes but not others. We configure your service areas to match your actual coverage and align with how homeowners in those areas search.
160 words. Every one of them counts. We write a keyword-rich description that hits your core services, service area, and trust signals without sounding robotic. Google scans this for relevance signals.
The services list and attributes section is where most contractors leave significant ranking signals on the table. We populate every relevant service and toggle every applicable attribute (licensed, insured, women-owned, veteran-owned, 24/7, etc.).
The single most impactful ranking factor. Getting your primary category wrong, even slightly, can suppress your ranking across your entire market. We verify and correct this based on real competitor analysis in your zip code.
Google ranks profiles with more photos and more recent photo activity higher. We add 12–24 AI-generated, realistic jobsite photos every month so your profile always looks active, professional, and current. This signals to Google that you're a busy, legitimate business.
The GBP Q&A section is almost universally ignored by contractors, and it's a missed keyword opportunity. We seed your Q&A with the 8–12 questions homeowners actually search, with keyword-rich answers that reinforce your relevance.
Incorrect or missing hours suppresses trust signals and can push Google to show a "hours may differ" notice that kills conversions. We verify, update, and set holiday/special hours so your profile is always accurate.
