Google Business Profile help in Monroe
A step-by-step playbook for your Google listing, worked through with you. You keep full control of the profile the whole time.
For a lot of Monroe searches, your Google Business Profile gets seen before your website does. It holds your hours, your reviews, your photos and the button that calls you. A thin or outdated one quietly costs calls.
How the playbook works
You get a step-by-step guide written for your business, and Roger works through it with you over the phone or a shared screen. You make each change from your own account. We never ask for manager access to your listing.
- Name, address and hours checked against your website and the main directories, so everything matches.
- Primary and secondary categories chosen from what your competitors in Monroe are using and what you actually do.
- Services and a description written in plain words, with the town and the areas you serve named once, naturally.
- Photos of real work, your storefront or your trucks, added in a steady trickle instead of all at once.
- Posts and questions, used for news, seasonal offers and the things customers ask on the phone.
- A review routine: when to ask, how to ask, and how to reply to good and bad ones alike.
Why it matters on the square
A downtown shop near the courthouse and a contractor working out of a truck both show up on the same map. Google weighs how relevant, how close and how well known each listing is. You can't move your address, but you can make the listing complete, accurate and active, which is the part you control.
Works best together
A strong listing sends people to your site, so the site needs to finish the job. See website design and local SEO for how the three fit together, or read how Roger works.
Google listing questions
Why won't you take manager access to my listing?
Because it's your listing and it should stay that way. You make the changes with the playbook in hand and Roger walking you through it. Nobody else ends up holding the keys.
Can you get rid of a bad review?
Only Google can remove a review, and only if it breaks their rules. What you can do is reply calmly and keep earning honest new reviews. We'll help with both.
Is the playbook the same for every business?
The structure is the same, but categories, services, photos and posts are chosen for your trade and for the part of Union County you serve.
