AN ACTIVE PROFILE SUPPORTS YOUR LOCAL PRESENCE

Your services, hours, photos, updates, reviews, and customer questions change over time. Regular attention helps your profile remain useful and gives potential customers current information about your business.
PART OF A LARGER LOCAL SEO STRATEGY
A Google Business Profile performs best when it is supported by a professional website, useful local content, consistent business information, and a strong customer experience.
Lime Group can manage the profile as an individual service or as part of a broader local SEO strategy.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT GOOGLE BUSINESS PROFILE MANAGEMENT
What is a Google Business Profile?
A Google Business Profile is the business listing that can appear when customers find your company through Google Search and Google Maps. It may display your business name, category, phone number, website, hours, address or service area, photos, services, reviews, updates, and directions.
What is included in Google Business Profile management?
Management can include reviewing and correcting business information, selecting appropriate categories, organizing services or products, improving the business description, updating hours, publishing posts, recommending photos, monitoring customer questions, assisting with review responses, and keeping the profile consistent with your website.
Can optimizing my Google Business Profile help my business appear in Google Maps?
A complete, accurate, and actively maintained profile can strengthen your local presence and improve Google’s understanding of your business. However, no company can guarantee placement in Google Maps or a particular local ranking. Visibility also depends on factors such as location, relevance, competition, reviews, website strength, and the person performing the search.
Do I need a storefront to have a Google Business Profile?
Not necessarily. Eligible service-area businesses may create a profile without publicly displaying their address if they travel to customers and follow Google’s eligibility requirements. The profile should be configured correctly so customers understand which communities the business serves.
How often should my Google Business Profile be updated?
The profile should be reviewed whenever your hours, services, contact information, locations, or business operations change. Regular photos, posts, service updates, and review responses can also help keep the profile accurate and useful to potential customers.
Can Lime Group help with Google reviews?
Lime Group can help develop a practical process for requesting legitimate customer reviews and can assist with professional review responses. Reviews should come from real customer experiences and should never be purchased or created by employees, friends, or other people who did not genuinely use the business.
Can Lime Group manage profiles for multiple business locations?
Yes. Businesses with multiple eligible locations may need separate profiles with accurate location-specific information, hours, phone numbers, website links, photos, and services. Lime Group can help organize the profiles and keep them aligned with the corresponding location pages on your website.
What is the difference between Google Business Profile management and local SEO?
Google Business Profile management focuses on the information and activity within your Google listing. Local SEO is broader and can include your website, service and location pages, business-information consistency, reviews, local content, internal links, and other factors affecting visibility in local search. The two services often work best together.
