Google Profile & Website Upkeep

Local SEO & Google Profile Upkeep for Small Businesses

Show up where your customers are already looking.

You've already got a website. The problem is nobody's finding it. This plan is for businesses that have something online but aren't showing up in local searches, haven't claimed their Google Business Profile, or know their digital presence needs consistent attention they don't have time to give it. I handle the maintenance, the optimization, and the monthly reporting, so your business stays visible and your site stays current without you thinking about it.

What's Included

—Monthly maintenance and content updates for your existing website
—Google Business Profile setup, optimization, and ongoing management
—Local SEO and keyword monitoring so your business shows up in the right searches
—Directory listing management — Yelp, Angi, Nextdoor, BBB, and similar platforms kept accurate, consistent, and up to date so every listing points customers to your business correctly
—Security checks and uptime monitoring so nothing quietly breaks
—Monthly performance report covering search visibility and profile activity

A service business ranking in the top local results for one or two relevant searches typically sees 5–15 additional inbound calls per month they weren't getting before. One booked job covers this plan for most trades, plumbers, cleaners, landscapers, and similar.

How It Works

01Audit. I review your current accounts, domain, Google Business Profile, website, and any active marketing.
02Secure access. Credentials move into an encrypted password manager, and you keep your own access to everything.
03Build and launch. The work in your plan is built to spec, goes live, and gets watched closely for the first week.
0430-day check-in. We review what was built, what is working, and what needs adjusting, then monthly reporting takes over.

The full onboarding timeline is on the capacity and process page.

Who It's For

Small local service businesses: HVAC and heating, plumbing and electrical, cleaning and maid services, landscaping and lawn care, auto repair and detailing, general contractors and remodelers, pest control, and similar home and trade services. I'm based in Dayton, Ohio and work with businesses across the Miami Valley, including Kettering, Beavercreek, Centerville, Huber Heights, and Trotwood, as well as remote clients anywhere in the United States. See web design and local SEO in Dayton for the local service area.

Common Questions

What's a Google Business Profile and why does it matter?

Your Google Business Profile is the box that appears on the right side of Google when someone searches your business name. It shows your hours, phone number, location on Maps, photos, and reviews. Most people look at this before they ever click your website. If it's incomplete or hasn't been claimed, you're giving potential customers a reason to call someone else instead. Optimizing this is included in every plan that covers website management.

What does 'SEO' mean and why does it matter for my business?

SEO is what determines whether your business shows up when someone searches 'plumber near me' or 'house cleaner in Dayton.' The full name is Search Engine Optimization, but what it means in practice is making sure Google understands what you do, who you serve, and where you're located. If those signals aren't there, customers searching for exactly what you offer will find your competitors instead.

I already have a website. Can you still help me?

Yes, and this is the most common situation. Most clients come to me with a site that's outdated, slow, or invisible on Google. I can take over management and improve it, or rebuild from scratch if that makes more sense for where you're at. The Platform Migration and Takeover fee is $250 one-time and covers the account access, audit, and transition so nothing gets lost in the handover.

How long until I see results?

It depends on what you're measuring. A website can go live within the first 30 days. SEO takes longer: noticeable movement usually shows up around the 60 to 90 day mark, with real traction closer to the 3 to 6 month range. Paid ads can generate leads within the first week once campaigns go live. I'll set specific expectations based on your situation on the discovery call.
