Free first look. I usually reply within 2 hours.

Customers look for you on Maps and see a competitor instead? The reason is often simple: a category that is too general, gaps in the profile, or details that differ from your website. All of this can be checked and fixed.

  • Categories, services and description matched to what customers search for
  • The same details in the profile and on your website
  • Reviews collected within Google's rules, never bought

Categories and services

Categories help Google understand which services you offer and match your profile to searches.

  • UrgentThe main category is too general

    The profile shows up less often for the specific repairs customers search for.

    Fix: A more precise main category, extra categories and a list of services.

Business details

Profile, website and directories should all say the same thing.

  • UrgentDifferent phone numbers in the profile and on the website

    Customers call an old number, and Google trusts your details less.

    Fix: One number in the profile, on the website and in directories.

Reviews compared with a competitor

  1. Category, services and one phone number.

What clients say

  • „We worked with Vlad on a Next.js project. He knew what he was doing from day one, didn't overcomplicate things and came up with better approaches on his own. I especially value his work on the site's performance. Everything was delivered as agreed.”

    George B. CEO, finance company

  • „We needed to build an MVP fast to test our idea in practice. Vlad helped us choose sensible solutions and focus on what we really needed for launch. We didn't try to build everything at once, yet he made sure the project could grow later without starting from scratch.”

    Alex N. Product Manager at StartupX

  • „Vlad got up to speed with our project quickly and pointed out several problems we hadn't treated as priorities. He sorted out our database and security issues. I liked that he didn't just complete tasks but clearly explained why something was worth changing and what the consequences could be.”

    Michał R. CTO at TechCorp

  • „We had an app where every bigger change was becoming a problem. Vlad helped us clean up the code, rebuild some of the older parts and introduce automated tests. Working on new features is much easier now. I also appreciate his patience in explaining technical topics to people outside the development team.”

Frequently asked questions

How much does Google Business Profile optimization cost?

For several locations I quote after reviewing the profiles.

What decides where my profile shows up on Google Maps?

Google names three main factors: how well the profile matches the search, how far it is from the person searching, and how well known the business is, including its reviews. We can improve the profile and how it presents your business. We don't control the customer's distance, what competitors do or Google's decisions.

Can you remove bad reviews?

No. A review that breaks Google's rules can be reported, but Google decides. I help you reply to reviews calmly and to the point.

Do you buy reviews?

No. Buying reviews or rewarding people for them breaks Google's rules and can hurt your profile. I show you how to ask real customers.

I don't have access to my profile. What now?

I help you regain access through Google's process. How long it takes is up to Google, so the timeline for fixes starts once access is in place.

What isn't included in the price?

The package is a one-off review and fix of one profile. It doesn't cover ongoing profile management, regular posts, a photo shoot, changes to your website or fixing directory listings. If your website needs work too, start with a local SEO audit. I quote any extra scope before we start.

Is it the same as Google My Business?

Yes. Google My Business was renamed Google Business Profile. The profile and how it works stayed the same.

Can you guarantee the top spot on Google Maps?

No, and nobody honest can. Your position on Maps also depends on where the person searching is and what competitors do. The timeline, from 2 working days, is for the work on the profile, not for higher rankings. You get a well-kept profile and a clear plan, and after a few weeks I check the profile stats.

I usually reply within 2 hours.
