Do I need paid management if I have a profile already?

Not necessarily. If you have time to post regularly, keep your info current, and manage reviews, you can do it yourself. Paid management makes sense when you want it done consistently without the time drain.

What is the cheapest way to get help?

Our Google Business Profile Boost at $75/mo is the entry point — four posts a month plus optimization, with a three-month minimum so there is time to see movement.

What changes the price

Posting frequency

Regular posts, photos, and offers keep a profile active and visible. More frequent, higher-quality posting takes more time.

Review management

Requesting, monitoring, and responding to reviews builds trust and rankings — and is one of the biggest levers in the map pack.

Competitiveness of your area

A profile in a crowded metro category needs more ongoing work to hold position than one in a small, low-competition market.

Why pay for something that is free?

The profile is free; the results come from consistent optimization most owners never get to. A well-managed profile is often the single highest-ROI local marketing investment because it captures people who are ready to call.

Solution

"I'm Not Showing Up on Google"

When nearby customers search for what you offer and do not see you, you lose business to competitors who are simply easier to find. Local visibility comes down to a handful of signals that can be measured and improved.

Questions, answered honestly

Yes. Creating and managing your own profile costs nothing. You only pay if you want someone to handle the ongoing optimization, posting, and review work for you.
