What it is
In plain words.
A Google Business Profile is often the first thing a local customer sees, and many are set up once and abandoned. Google favors profiles that are complete, accurate and active, and customers notice a profile that's clearly alive.
Each week we post, upload photos and keep your categories, services and details right. We do it as a manager on your profile, and you remain the owner.
A good fit if
- Local businesses with a profile that's out of date or barely touched.
- Owners who know they should post but never do.
- Anyone competing in the map results.
Probably not for you if
- You enjoy running it yourself and have the time.
We'd rather tell you so than sell you something that doesn't fit.

How it goes
You add us as a manager
Never as the owner. You keep control.
We plan the first month
What to post, which photos to add and what to correct.
We run it every week
And tell you what we did.
Why it's worth it
What it does for you.
An active profile
Regular posts and photos show customers and Google that you're open for business.
Accurate details
Hours and services are right, including on holidays.
Time back
A weekly job you no longer have to do.
You stay in control
We're a manager on your profile, and you remain the owner.
- The weekly habit is the whole value. A profile touched once a year doesn't look alive.
Run your own numbers
Example figures. Change them to yours.
Count your own time. These are example numbers: change them to your own.
Use what you'd pay someone for that hour, or what the hour could earn you.

With these numbers it doesn't pay for itself on savings alone. Try your own figures, or weigh the other reasons on this page.
What this assumes
- The time estimate is yours, not ours: change the numbers until they match your week.
- It doesn't count what a better profile might bring in. Use the break-even idea from the [local SEO foundation](/add-ons/local-seo-bundle) for that.
The practical bits
What it takes.
What we need from you
- Manager access to your Google Business Profile.
- Photos from jobs and visits, when you have them.
- A heads-up about changes: new services, holiday hours, offers.
How long it takes
Starts within a week or two of getting manager access, then runs every week.
Timelines are typical. The dates for your project go in your proposal.
What the monthly fee covers
This add-on is itself the monthly fee. Any monthly terms go in writing in your proposal, and our standing rule is no long-term contracts.
Questions
Likely questions, answered.
Who owns the profile?
You do. We ask you to add us as a manager, never as the owner, so you can remove us at any time.
Will it make me rank higher?
We can't promise that. A complete, accurate and active profile gives you a fair chance in the map results.
Do you reply to reviews?
Review replies are part of review generation and reputation.
What do you post?
News, offers, projects and seasonal reminders, all drawn from what you tell us and show us.
Can I see what you post?
Yes. It's your profile, and everything we do appears on it.
What does Google Business Profile management cost?
$149/mo, with nothing to pay up front. The price is fixed and written into your proposal before any work starts, so there are no hourly surprises. If you ask for something that isn't in the proposal, we quote that change first and nothing changes until you agree.
Do I own it?
You own what we build for you: the code, the content, and the accounts it runs on (the domain, the hosting account and any service account, such as a payment account, are opened in your name). There is no proprietary platform to be locked into and no cancellation penalty.
Can you add it to the website I already have?
Add-ons are built into a ZONA site. If you already have a site, tell us what it's built with when you get in touch. We'll tell you honestly whether this can be added to it or would work better built into a new one. We'd rather say so than sell you something that doesn't fit.
How do I get started?
Use the button on this page to add it to your project, or send a message. A discovery call takes about fifteen minutes (no pitch deck), and then you get a fixed-price proposal. You'll hear back within one business day.
Is there a long-term contract?
No long-term contracts is our standing rule: care plans are month to month, and any monthly terms for an add-on go in writing in your proposal before you sign anything.
