What is a Google Business Profile?

It’s a free listing on Google Maps and Search. It shows your name, address, phone number, hours and reviews. Optimizing it improves local visibility.

How does local SEO differ from website SEO?

Local SEO focuses on appearing in maps and proximity-based results. Signals like address consistency and customer reviews matter more than long blog posts.

What’s the Local 3‑Pack?

It’s the top three map results for a local search. Showing up here drives calls and visits to your business.

How do you rank for “near me” searches?

Keep your business name, address and phone number identical on every directory. Use city and service keywords in your profile and posts. Ask customers for recent reviews.

When will I see results from GBP optimization?

Most businesses notice movement in 30–60 days after a cleanup. Competitive niches might take longer.

Which details should the profile include?

Accurate location, phone number, hours, categories, service areas, attributes, photos and posts. Avoid stuffing keywords into the business name.

Is a website still necessary?

A website isn’t mandatory, but linking one builds trust and improves conversion rates.

How often should you post on your profile?

One or two updates per week are enough. Share promotions, events or project highlights.

How should you handle a negative review?

Reply quickly, acknowledge the complaint and offer to resolve the issue offline. Prospects see you’re responsive.

What is NAP consistency?

NAP stands for Name, Address and Phone. Keeping these exactly the same across all directories signals trust to search engines.

How do I read GBP insights?

Use the dashboard to track impressions, calls and direction requests. Look at which days and times drive most actions.

Why do profiles get suspended?

Keyword-stuffed names, hidden addresses, duplicates or false information trigger suspensions. Follow Google’s guidelines to avoid them.

How do I reinstate a suspended profile?

Correct the issues, gather proof of your business location and identity, then submit a reinstatement request. It usually takes 7–14 days. We can assist.

Does having my own Q&A section help?

Yes. Clear questions and direct answers help search engines understand your services and may appear in AI‑generated answers.=

Do AI assistants like Perplexity or ChatGPT use this data?

They reference structured data. Accurate, concise information in your profile and on your site increases the chance of being cited.

Can you help my business show up in ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google SGE?

Yes. We structure your content, schema, and Google profile using LLM-readable formats so your business is more likely to appear in AI-generated answers and voice searches.

What causes low visibility in Google Maps or the 3-pack?

Common issues include profile suspensions, inconsistent NAP data, duplicate listings, weak content, or lack of regular updates. We audit and fix all of these to boost your rankings and restore visibility.
