Google Business Profile Setup for Small Businesses

Your website is just the beginning. We handle Google Business Profile setup, professional email, and the rest of your online presence—so customers can find you, trust you, and contact you from day one.

What takes most business owners a week, we do in 2 days. Save 10+ hours of frustration and get it done right the first time.

Why does proper business setup matter?

You've got a great website—but when someone searches for your business name on Google, what do they find? An empty Google Business Profile with no photos? A generic @gmail.com email address? Inconsistent business info scattered across the internet?
Most business owners don't realize how many touch points exist beyond their website. Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing potential customers see—before they ever click through to your site. Professional email builds trust instantly. Directory listings help you show up in "near me" searches.
Here's what happens without proper setup: Customers can't find your hours, phone number, or location in Google Search. Your emails land in spam folders because you're using a free account. Competitors with polished profiles steal clicks and calls that should be yours. And you're invisible on directories where customers are actively looking.
With professional business setup, you look established from day one. Your Google Business Profile showcases your best work and accurate info. Your email commands respect with a real domain. Your business appears consistently across the directories that matter. No more missed opportunities because your online presence looks incomplete.

💼 Agency results, small business pricing

Most digital agencies charge $1,500–$3,000 for basic business setup. We deliver the same professional results at a fraction of the cost—because we've streamlined the process and cut the overhead. Same results. Same professionalism. Just without the markup.

Business Setup FAQs

I already have a Google Business Profile. Can you still help?

Absolutely. If you have a listing but it's incomplete, unverified, or not optimized, we'll audit what you have and bring it up to professional standards. We'll happily audit your profile and give a custom quote.

Do I need a website first?

Not necessarily. Google Business Profile works with or without a website, and Google Workspace just needs a domain name. That said, a website is the foundation of a strong online presence—check out our free website build program if you need one.

What's included in the essential citations?

We set up and optimize your profiles on Apple Maps, Bing Places, Better Business Bureau, Nextdoor, and Yelp. These are the core directories that matter for local search and are completely free to list on.

How long does Google Business Profile verification take?

Google's verification process typically takes 5-14 days, depending on the method (postcard, phone, or video). We'll guide you through whichever method Google requires for your business type and location.

Do you offer ongoing Google Business Profile management?

Yes. If you want us to handle regular posts, review responses, and Q&A management, that's available as part of our Local SEO services. The one-time setup gets you started; ongoing SEO keeps you visible.

What about Google Workspace ongoing costs?

Google Workspace is a subscription service billed by Google ($7-18+/user/month depending on plan). Our one-time setup fee covers configuration and training. You'll pay Google directly for the ongoing subscription.

Can you set up profiles on Angi, HomeAdvisor, or other paid directories?

Yes. We charge a $50 setup fee per platform plus whatever the directory charges for listings. We'll optimize your profiles and train you on how to use each platform to generate leads.

Do you manage Google Ads campaigns or just the technical setup?

We handle the technical infrastructure—account setup, tracking, integrations, and ongoing maintenance. For ad strategy, copywriting, bidding, and campaign optimization, we will partner directly with your ad person or agency and work closely with whoever you choose to manage your campaigns.

What if my Google Ads tracking breaks or ads get disapproved?

That's exactly what our ongoing support covers. We monitor for broken conversions, fix disapproved ads (technical issues like landing page problems or policy flags), troubleshoot GTM containers, and handle billing issues. You get monthly reports on what we found and fixed.
