A Google Business Profile agency manages and optimises your GBP on your behalf. The best agencies treat GBP as an acquisition channel -- systematically improving your local ranking, building your review profile, and turning your Google presence into a consistent source of new clients.
What a GBP agency should do
- Full GBP optimisation: category, description, services, attributes
- Ongoing photo management and refresh
- Review generation strategy and response management
- Weekly GBP posts to maintain activity signals
- Local citation building and NAP consistency
- Monthly ranking tracking and reporting
- Competitor monitoring
Red flags to avoid
- Agencies that guarantee specific rankings (no one can guarantee this)
- Agencies that focus only on "setting up" GBP without ongoing management
- Agencies that report on impressions and views but not actual leads
- Agencies offering GBP as an add-on to social media packages
- Agencies using the same post templates for every client
Questions to ask before hiring
- What does your review generation process look like?
- How do you track our ranking changes month to month?
- Do you manage GBP exclusively or is it bundled with other services?
- What results have you delivered for businesses similar to ours?
- What happens to our GBP if we stop working together?
