Do you need access to my Google Business Profile?

Yes. We need owner or manager access to make changes. We never change your primary category or business name without approval.

What is NAP consistency and why does it matter?

NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone number. Google cross-references your business info across hundreds of directories. Inconsistent NAP (e.g., "St" vs "Street") confuses Google and kills local rankings. We ensure 100% consistency across 50+ platforms.

Do you handle review responses?

We set up the review generation workflow and provide response templates. If you want us to manage responses directly, that is available as an add-on. Most clients prefer to handle responses personally.

Can you help if I have multiple locations?

Yes. Each location gets its own optimized GBP profile, dedicated landing page, and local citation set. Our Multi-Location plan is designed for businesses with 2+ offices or service areas.
