Build customer trust with active reputation and relationship management

Our GMB management service stays on top of the conversation, so you can control your online reputation.
Give customers more ways to reach you
Your customers are ready to connect – by calling, messaging, or leaving reviews. Now, with more ways to transact, you can do more business. Your optimized GMB profile will open up a whole new conversation with your customers and they’ll love you for it.

This metric tracks your local rankings over a geographical area based on a set number of geo-targeted points. This simulates searchers in each location and then compares the results of the local pack to understand your overall percentage share of the local voice. This is the number metric we care about in our GMB management services.

Creating, Managing and Monitoring Q&A

Let’s be honest, customers have a lot of questions. We know you waste a lot of time each day answering simple questions over and over again. Well, not anymore.
Through a conversation with you, we can identify the most frequently asked questions that your prospective customers have. We then post the questions AND the answers to the question in the Google My Business FAQ section of your business listing.
This helps complete your profile and helps handle objections before they even pick up the phone.

Ongoing Photo/Video Uploads
Learn More
Photos and videos are the eye candy of the internet. Your customers are much more likely to look at your photos before engaging with any other content in your profile. This makes ongoing uploads something that must be done.

Want to know how?
We correctly keyword name your image files and geo-tag them with your GPS coordinates.
Do you know how to do that?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t I just manage Google My Business myself?
You totally can. But, ask yourself, “how much is my time worth?”
Google My Business updates are rolling out weekly and Google’s guidelines are ever-changing. Keeping up with Google is a full-time job, not to mention the 60+ optimizations you’d need to learn to get everything out of your profile.
Your Modernized Client Manager will ensure your business shows up in search results and is optimized to convert those searchers into customers.
TBH, trying to be a marketer for your own business in today’s fast-paced environment is really just not feasible anymore.
Isn’t this what my website is for?
Your website is what Google refers to as your “Authority Document” and it is what will be ranked in “Local Organic” search results. These are the blue links in a Google search.
Your Google My Business profile is what will rank in the “Local Pack.” This is where local search has shifted. You cannot rank in the Local Pack without a Google My Business profile. And you won’t rank in the Top 3 without an optimized profile.
Your website is a critical part of your online presence and is the best place to facilitate a lot of your business activities, but when it comes to local search, just think about your search behavior. What do you do when you want to find a local business or service? You Google it! And it’s the Local Pack that you check out to figure out who to consider more.
