FAQs
Google Business Profile questions
How do I rank higher on Google Maps?
Choose the right primary category, complete every section of your profile, post weekly, add photos, get steady reviews and keep your details consistent across the web.
How many Google reviews do I need?
There is no magic number. What matters is having more recent, detailed reviews than the businesses ranking above you, and replying to them.
Can a service-area business hide its address?
Yes. You can hide your address and list the towns you serve instead. You still rank best near where Google believes your business is based.
How often should I post on Google Business Profile?
Weekly is a good rhythm: a recent job with a photo, an offer or a seasonal reminder.
Is Google Business Profile management included in your plans?
Yes, in every plan from $249 a month.
