Everything local business owners ask us about Google Maps ranking, reviews, pricing and the free audit.
FAQs
General questions
Is the audit really free?
+
Yes. No payment, no card and no obligation. You get the full report either way.
How long until I get my report?
+
Within 48 working hours, as a PDF on WhatsApp (and email if you prefer).
Do you need access to my Google account?
+
No. The audit uses public information. We only ask for access later if you choose to work with us.
What is Google Business Profile SEO?
+
It's the work of optimising your free Google Business Profile — categories, services, photos, reviews, posts and your website signals — so you rank higher on Google Maps and in the local 3-pack.
How soon will I see more calls?
+
Most businesses see movement in 4–8 weeks and stronger results in 3–6 months, depending on competition.
Do you guarantee a #1 ranking?
+
No honest agency can guarantee rankings — Google decides. We guarantee the work, transparent reporting and a clear plan.
What does it cost after the audit?
+
It depends on your business, competition and number of locations. You'll get a clear quote only if you ask for one.

🦷 Dentists
How long does it take a dental clinic to rank in the Google Maps top 3?
+
Most dental clinics see movement within 4–8 weeks and stable top-3 rankings for core searches in 3–6 months, depending on competition in their area and their current reviews.
Can you rank my clinic for specific treatments like implants or aligners?
+
Yes. We add each treatment as a service with its own description, photos and posts, and build the website pages Google uses to confirm them.
By industry
🩺 Doctors & Clinics
Should the doctor and the clinic have separate Google profiles?
+
It depends on how many doctors practise there. Solo practitioners usually do best with one profile; multi-doctor clinics can have a clinic profile plus practitioner profiles. We audit and fix this first because it affects every ranking.
Can my clinic rank for a speciality like gynaecology or paediatrics?
+
Yes. The primary category, services, website pages and reviews that mention the speciality all help Google rank you for it.
By industry
🏥 Hospitals
Can a hospital rank for individual departments?
+
Yes. Departments are added as services with dedicated pages, posts and photos; for large hospitals, eligible departments can also have their own profiles.
We have multiple branches — can you manage all of them?
+
Yes. Each branch gets its own optimised profile, consistent details and a local ranking plan.
By industry
✨ Skin & Hair Clinics
Can a dermatologist outrank salons for skin treatment searches?
+
Yes. Correct medical categories, treatment services, doctor credentials and reviews help Google show your clinic for medical searches.
Can we post before/after photos on Google?
+
Only with written patient consent and without misleading claims. We usually focus on clinic, team, equipment and educational posts.
By industry
🦴 Physiotherapy Clinics
Can you promote home physiotherapy on Google?
+
Yes — we set service areas and add home-visit services so you appear for “home physiotherapy” searches across the areas you cover.
Which conditions should we list?
+
The ones you treat most and patients search for most: back pain, neck pain, knee pain, frozen shoulder, post-surgery and sports rehab.
By industry
❄️ AC Repair Services
Can I rank without a shop or office address?
+
Yes. Service-area businesses can hide their address and set the areas they serve; we set this up correctly so the listing stays safe.
How do I rank in more areas of my city?
+
Through service areas, area-wise website pages, reviews that mention locations and consistent listings on local directories.
By industry
🔧 Plumbers
My listing was suspended — can you help?
+
Yes. We diagnose the reason, fix the profile and prepare the reinstatement request with the right evidence.
Should I show my home address?
+
No. As a service-area business you should hide it and list the areas you serve instead.
By industry
💡 Electricians
Can a local electrician beat aggregator apps on Google Maps?
+
Yes — the Map Pack shows local businesses, and a well-reviewed, well-optimised profile competes strongly with them.
I don't have time to manage Google. Can you do it?
+
Yes. We manage posts, photos and review replies for you every month.
By industry
🐜 Pest Control Services
Can we rank for specific pests like termites?
+
Yes — each treatment gets its own service entry, posts and website content so Google ranks you for it.
Do you help get commercial clients?
+
Yes. We position your profile and site for offices, restaurants and housing societies too.
By industry
🚚 Packers & Movers
How do we compete with fake mover listings?
+
By building strong genuine signals — verified office, real photos, detailed services and reviews — and reporting spam listings with evidence.
Can we rank for intercity moves?
+
Yes, through route-focused website pages and posts that support your Google profile.
By industry
🎓 Coaching Institutes
When should an institute start Google optimisation?
+
At least 2–3 months before your main admission season so rankings are strong when enquiries peak.
Can we rank for specific courses?
+
Yes — each course becomes a service with its own description, posts and supporting website content.
By industry
🏫 Schools & Preschools
When do parents start searching for schools?
+
Usually 4–8 months before the academic year — so profiles should be in top shape by then.
Can we answer common parent questions on Google?
+
Yes, through posts, the profile description and a Q&A-style FAQ section on your website.
By industry
📚 Training Academies
Can we rank for multiple courses?
+
Yes, each course is added as a service and supported with posts and a website page.

By industry

How do restaurants get more Google reviews?

By industry
