Google my Business Optimization Service
Google Business Profile (formerly known as Google My Business Listing) is vital to any local business trying to reach its target audience within the radius it services. Local Falcon, a third-party tool, estimates that 70% of local clicks on a Google Search results page occur in the map pack, which consists of the three map locations that appear. The remaining show up in Google Map searches, which comes from both map app use and users navigating to the map results in search.
Suppose you are a plumber, HVAC company, dentist, psychic, mover, or some other type of business that is looking for local SEO help but doesn’t want to pay for a monthly retainer. In that case, my Google My Business Optimization Service is perfect for you.
I will spend a few hours reviewing your Google My Business (GMB) profile, running heat map scans for a select number of keywords, sharing the results with you, and writing a series of steps for you to take to improve your rankings. While the best results are achieved by having someone monitor your results weekly (as I do in my Local SEO services), this option is ideal for the business owner or team member who wants to handle it for their company.
Google My Business Optimization Service Benefit
If you are looking for either more foot traffic, new customers finding you, an improvement in online visibility for your services, or something else, then this service is for you. Let me spend an hour or two at $140 an hour helping grow your business through my optimizations.
- Heat map scans show where you show up / don’t show up for your target keywords. For example, you might always see your business for “movers near me” when you search from your location. However, a mile in any direction might show that you become invisible to searchers, which is why you don’t get many phone calls.
- I’ll review your business information to make sure it is accurate. Some of those include online citations, business hours, business descriptions, business categories, and whether you are responding to positive reviews or not.
- Hourly SEO instead of monthly retainer. If you are not looking to spend thousands on monthly SEO, which includes GMB, website, Bing Maps, and Apple Maps optimization, then this plan is for you. You’ll get my expertise on what I’ll do next.

GEO SEO – Google Maps Heat Map Scan
I pay for a tool called Local Falcon that allows me to see, in real time, how your business and your competitors rank for your target keywords. For example, if you are a locksmith company that services a 10-mile radius around your location, I’ll be able to see where you show up and don’t show up on the heat map.
The benefit of these scans is that they remove my bias from the analysis. The scan takes a direct snapshot of what users would see if they searched for “locksmith near me” in the radius that you service. Therefore, I’ll be able to say that you only show up 10% of the available places, and some of your competitors show up 30-40% of them. Improving your visibility to 15% of 20% for that keyword and more would increase impressions, phone calls, leads, and customers.
Here is an example of a heat map scan for a customer in New York City. Green dots means that they appear on page 1 of Google.
GMB SEO Success Story – Georgia Moving Company
A moving company in Georgia reached out to me in the summer of 2024. They initially saw a 40% year-over-year decline in phone calls (potential customers) and website clicks coming from their Google My Business profile. Their competitors were outperforming them, and they were also being outperformed by other Google My Business (GMB) listings in their area.
After a few months (starting in December), I was able to help them break even on phone calls and website clicks through improvements in the local search results for them. Then, we started to experience the growth they were looking for, with phone calls and website clicks increasing year-over-year. Not only was their online presence improved through the increase in rankings, but their website conversions also increased dramatically year-over-year. The increase in high-quality traffic resulted in more form submissions directly through the site, allowing them to generate leads from both Google Maps and their website.
GBP SEO Success – Manhattan Doctor
I’ve been working with a doctor in New York City since 2020. Increasing local customer traffic through search is how they attract more clients and repeat business. One of their primary keywords, Gynecologist, has them ranking across the entire borough of Manhattan. Having that keyword and other local search ranking improvements has led to more impressions, phone calls, and customers becoming patient with them.
Expand it With Monthly Local SEO
A one-off review of your GMB profile is something I can do for your business. However, I can take it a step further and grow your business with monthly SEO Services. The primary reason to have me manage your account is that I’ll be keeping an eye on everything to get you more leads.
Below are some of the elements I focus on for monthly Local SEO.
- Tracking Keyword Rankings for your City or State
- Website Local SEO
- Google Maps SEO
- Bing Maps SEO
- Apple Maps SEO
- Finding Relevant Third-Party Sites to Get Listed On
- And more!
