Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the listing that shows up when someone searches your business name on Google, plus the pin that appears on Google Maps. It controls your hours, photos, reviews, Q&A, and posts. A claimed and optimized profile is the single biggest factor in ranking for 'near me' searches.

Most businesses start showing up for their exact business name within 24 to 48 hours of verification. Ranking for category searches (like 'pizza near me' or 'plumber Denver') takes 4 to 12 weeks and depends on your reviews, photos, category match, and competition. We get the foundation right so the clock starts ticking immediately.

Google alone drives about 70% of local search traffic, but the other 4 cover the rest. Apple Maps is the default on every iPhone (about 50% of US smartphone users). Bing powers DuckDuckGo and Microsoft Edge searches. Yelp dominates restaurant and service reviews. Facebook drives social discovery and check-ins. Skipping any one of them costs you customers you'll never know about.

NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone. Search engines cross-reference your business listing across platforms and lose trust if the data doesn't match. A misspelled street name on Yelp or an old phone number on Bing can quietly drag your Google ranking down. We set up identical NAP on all 5 platforms to compound your authority.

Yes, technically. Each platform is free to claim. But the setup is fiddly (Google's verification can take 2 weeks via postcard if you skip the steps that unlock instant verification), the category selection is critical (picking the wrong primary category cuts your visibility in half), and the photo and description optimization is what separates listings that rank from listings that exist. We do it once and right.

We handle the dispute process for you. Google has a documented procedure where the current owner has 7 days to respond or the listing transfers to you. Yelp, Facebook, and the others have similar flows. About 80% of cases resolve in your favor within 14 days. If it's a stubborn case (like a former owner refusing to release the listing), we'll escalate through the platform's appeal process.

Yes, dramatically. 'Near me' searches are powered by your Google Business Profile category, your distance from the searcher, and your prominence (reviews, photos, age of listing). Setting up the profile correctly is step one. Most businesses see 3 to 8x more profile views within 60 days of a proper setup. We can't promise specific rankings (Google's algorithm has 200+ factors) but you'll show up in searches you weren't before.
