Google Business Profile

Start by searching Google by your company name and city. If you don’t see a GBP listing on the right side of the page, you need to sign up for an account. If you see your business but don’t have access to it, you can “claim an account” and take it over, which is recommended, since duplicate accounts only confuse customers.

There are numerous tasks required to properly set up and optimize your GBP account and this is where Clear Imaging shines. We ensure that your GBP is professionally optimized and maintained, so it will rank at the top of the Google Map Pack listings.

You provide us administrator access to your existing GBP account so we can manage it on an ongoing basis, (you can remove us any time). We define your top products/services and areas you serve, so Google can show you to the right customers.

We thoroughly update your GBP account details, post content frequently and generate reviews from your customers as we continue to optimize your account as per Google’s guidelines.

Google Bots notice all of this ongoing account optimization and start ranking your profile higher in their GBP listings near the top of Google, which is followed by a gradual increase in website traffic and leads.

Definitely! Most of your competitors are not even aware that they can hire a marketing company to optimize their GBP, so take advantage of this, while you can.

GBP SEO is currently one of the most cost-effective methods for generating leads from highly qualified customers who are actively searching for your products or services.

While most of your competitors are focused on spending big money on organic SEO and Google Ads, you can one-up them by ranking in the Google Map Pack listings.

While Google prefers you have a physical location(s), you can still have a GBP account even if your business doesn’t have one, provided you make in-person contact with customers.

You may also have a GBP account if you’re a service business that visits customers directly but doesn't serve them at your business address, like a plumber or landscaper.

Most GBP accounts start ranking well on Google within 2 to 3 months and continue to improve each month thereafter, as long as we continue to manage your campaign.

Since 95% of our GBP SEO work is performed on your GBP account and not on your website, your account tends to rank in the Google Maps listings faster than traditional Organic SEO.

The first 30 days are spent thoroughly updating and optimizing your GBP account properly so we can then start focusing on posting relative content on an ongoing basis.

We spend the next 30 days getting your business listed on numerous online directories (we call these Citations) in order to boost your company’s online presence. The next phase entails generating lots of legitimate, positive reviews from your customers.

After a few months, your GBP will start ranking in the Google Map Pack listings for relative keywords in your local areas, which result in a steady flow of website visitors that can lead to an increase in qualified leads.

The main difference is that with GBP SEO, most of the time and resources we dedicate to the campaign happens inside of your actual GBP account. As opposed to a standard Organic SEO campaign, where most of the work occurs on your website.

The answer to your next question is, both. Yes, ideally having a GBP SEO campaign and a standard Organic SEO campaign is highly recommended, since it allows your business to rank at the top of Google in both places! This is how you dominate!

We provide you with a monthly GBP Activity Report that shows how many potential customers visited your GBP listing, how many visited your website, and how many phone calls were dialed from it.

We also provide a Geo-Tracking Map that shows exactly where your GBP account is ranking for various searches in a radius around the local areas you service.

We can measure the ongoing progress in rankings and activity compared to each prior month, which allows us to make necessary improvements to the overall strategy.

Our team will need a steady supply of photos of either your products, your services, your team, or your happy customers. We use these when posting updates to your Google Business Profile, which helps you get more exposure.

All we need is a spreadsheet from you with customer names and emails, and our team inputs this data into our email system. We then craft a polite message, requesting your customers to please leave a Google Review, with a link to your GBP.

Your customers are sent this review request via our special email address "no-reply@customfeedback.com", to which they cannot send email replies.

We require a 6-month minimum commitment for our GBP SEO Plans, since it can take a few months to start ranking well in the Google Map Pack listings.

A majority of our clients continue with their GBP SEO campaign well beyond the 6-month minimum commitment, after they experience a favorable return on investment.

We always recommend starting with the GBP SEO Plan that best aligns with your monthly budget allowance, while also fulfilling your main goals and objectives.

Simply, the more you spend, the more time and resources we can dedicate to your GBP campaign, which in turn, will yield an even better return on your overall investment.

You can definitely upgrade to a higher GBP SEO Plan at any time, particularly as you see positive results that continue to improve over time.

You are not able to downgrade to a lower Plan within the first 6 months, since we dedicate all resources ahead of time. At the end of the first 6 months, we are open to reviewing your status and will generally seek to find a beneficial solution for all.

If there’s one thing we know, it’s how to deliver results. It is important to match expectations with realistic goals and objectives. Although we have a 6 month minimum commitment, we actually recommend 12 months for a more successful campaign.

If you’re not seeing any results at 3-4 months into the campaign, something is awry. In these rare instances, there can be unforeseen issues that require extra attention and we will always do our best to accomplish our goals.

Yes, you may cancel your GBP SEO Plan after the 6-month minimum commitment if you are unsatisfied and unwilling to work with us to make the required improvements.

In rare cases, competition can be just too fierce in your service areas, or most of your competitors are larger companies who are simply outspending you.

In these instances we may recommend another approach to your digital marketing strategy, perhaps even switching to one of our other, more suitable digital marketing campaigns.
