If you’re serious about growing your business, leveraging Google Business Profile (GBP) is a must.

Formerly known as Google My Business, GBP is the cornerstone of local SEO, connecting your business with customers actively searching for services like yours.

But success doesn’t just come from setting up a profile—it requires professional optimization, data-driven strategies, and local keyword research to ensure your business stands out.

Here’s how I can help with GBP setup, optimization, onboarding, analytics setup, and local keyword research.
