About Me

I'm a Google Business Profile specialist who helps local small businesses improve how they appear and compete in Google Maps and local search.

Many businesses have strong reputations offline but underperform online because their Google Business Profile is incomplete, inactive, or misaligned with their website and directory listings.

I have a particular interest in dental practices due to my familiarity with the industry and the highly competitive nature of local dental search. I help dental practices, salons, clinics, and service businesses identify gaps and improve visibility through practical optimization strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about AI strategy, local visibility, and how I work.

Why is my Google Business Profile so important?

Your Google Business Profile is the foundation of local search. It's what Google uses for Maps, the local 3-pack, and AI-powered overviews of local businesses. A complete, accurate profile is essential for getting found by customers searching "near me" for your services.

How often should I post to my Google Business Profile?

Google recommends posting at least weekly to keep your profile active. Posts with photos and videos perform best and help you stand out in search results. I include Google Posts strategy and creation in my ongoing management service.

Do reviews affect my Google rankings?

Yes. Reviews directly impact local search rankings and customer trust. Having recent, quality reviews with consistent responses signals to Google that your business is active and trusted.

How long does optimization take to show results?

Most clients see improvements in local search rankings within 4-6 weeks after optimization. The timeline depends on how many gaps exist in your current profile and how competitive your market is.

What businesses do you work with?

I work with all local service businesses, with particular experience in dental practices, salons, clinics, and trades (plumbers, electricians). If you rely on local customers, I can help.

Do you offer ongoing management?

Yes. After initial optimization, I offer ongoing GBP management including posts, photos, review monitoring, and updates. Simple monthly arrangement you can cancel with notice.
