R2,750 - 00 Once-Off

Best for: Businesses that already have a Google Business Profile but want to improve its completeness, professionalism, relevance, and ability to attract local customers.

This package goes beyond simply creating a profile. We review, correct, structure, and optimize the important sections of the existing Google Business Profile so that customers can understand the business more easily and Google receives clearer information about the business.

1. Existing GBP Profile Audit

Before making changes, we examine the current profile.

We review:

• Business name

• Primary category

• Secondary categories

• Business description

• Address

• Service areas

• Telephone number

• Website

• Opening hours

• Services

• Products

• Photos

• Reviews

• Q&A section

• Attributes

• Booking options

• Profile completeness

• Customer conversion opportunities

Why this matters

A profile may exist but still be poorly configured. We identify areas that can be improved before making optimization changes.

2. Business Name Review

We check whether the business name is represented correctly.

The profile should normally reflect the real-world business name, rather than adding unnecessary keywords to the name.

We check for:

• Spelling

• Consistency

• Branding

• Duplicate information

• Potential guideline issues

• Consistency with the business's website and other online listings

This helps establish a consistent business identity.

3. Primary Category Optimization

The primary category tells Google what the business mainly does.

We review the current category and determine whether another relevant category better represents the core business.

Example

A business providing computer repairs might need a category related to computer repair, rather than simply selecting a broad technology or business category.

Includes:

• Primary category review

• Category relevance analysis

• Competitor category comparison

• Category recommendation

• Implementation where appropriate

4. Secondary Category Recommendations

Some businesses provide multiple services.

For example:

Computer & IT Company

Possible relevant categories may relate to:

• Computer repair

• IT support

• Computer consultant

• Printer services

• Computer store

We identify relevant additional categories where appropriate.

Goal

Help Google understand the different areas of the business without adding irrelevant categories.

5. SEO-Optimized Business Description

We rewrite or improve the business description.

The description communicates:

Who you are + What you do + Where you operate + Who you serve + Why customers should consider you.

Includes:

• Local relevance

• Service keywords

• Natural keyword placement

• Customer-focused language

• Professional positioning

• Clear value proposition

• Call-to-action guidance

Example

Instead of:

We are a company that provides services to customers.

A stronger description might explain:

We provide professional computer, laptop and printer repair services to individuals and businesses in Groblersdal and surrounding areas, including hardware repairs, software support, virus removal, data recovery and IT assistance.

The final description should remain natural and accurate rather than being overloaded with keywords.

6. Services Optimization

We organize the services offered by the business.

For example:

Computer Services

• Computer Repair

• Laptop Repair

• Virus Removal

• Windows Installation

• Data Recovery

• Printer Repair

• Networking

• IT Support

Each service can include a short description explaining what customers receive.

Benefits

Customers can quickly understand what the business provides, while the profile contains more useful information about its offerings.

7. Product Setup

Where appropriate, we help organize products or product-like offerings on the profile.

Example for a computer business:

• Laptops

• Desktop Computers

• Printers

• Toners

• Ink Cartridges

• Computer Accessories

• CCTV Systems

• Networking Equipment

Includes:

• Product name

• Basic description

• Pricing information where appropriate

• Product image recommendations

• Website/product link where available

8. Business Attributes Optimization

Attributes provide additional information about a business.

Depending on the business category and available Google options, we review relevant attributes.

Examples can include:

• Accessibility information

• Payment options

• Service options

• Appointment availability

• Online services

• Delivery

• On-site services

We select attributes that accurately represent the business.

9. Service Area Optimization

For businesses that travel to customers, service areas can be extremely important.

We review the areas the business actually serves.

Example:

A business based in Groblersdal may serve:

• Groblersdal

• Marble Hall

• Jane Furse

• Sekhukhune

• Nearby communities

We help structure the service-area information accurately.

Important

We do not recommend claiming locations where the business does not actually provide services simply to try to manipulate local rankings.

10. Google Maps Optimization

The Google Business Profile is closely connected to a business's presence in Google Maps.

We review the profile from the perspective of a potential customer searching locally.

We improve:

• Business information

• Category relevance

• Service information

• Contact information

• Website connection

• Location/service area information

• Customer-facing profile content

The objective is to make the listing more useful and trustworthy.

11. Website Integration

We connect and review the website relationship with the Business Profile.

Includes:

• Website URL verification

• Correct landing-page recommendations

• Website/profile consistency check

• Service-page recommendations

• Local landing-page recommendations

• Basic conversion review

For example, if the profile advertises Printer Repairs, ideally the website should also have a relevant printer-repair page.

12. Phone & Contact Optimization

We check whether customers can easily contact the business.

Includes:

• Phone number review

• Contact information consistency

• Primary contact configuration

• Call-to-action recommendations

• Contact conversion recommendations

The goal is simple:

13. Opening Hours Optimization

Incorrect business hours can create a poor customer experience.

We review:

• Monday–Friday

• Saturday

• Sunday

• Public holidays

We help ensure the information reflects the actual operating schedule.

14. Appointment & Booking Setup

Where appropriate, we review the availability of booking or appointment functionality.

Examples:

• Consultation booking

• Repair booking

• Quote request

• Website booking

• Online appointment

The aim is to reduce the number of steps between Google search and customer enquiry.

15. Google Q&A Optimization

We review the Q&A section where available.

We can identify common questions customers may have about:

• Services

• Prices

• Locations

• Operating hours

• Appointments

• Delivery

• Service areas

• Payment options

Example

Question: Do you repair laptops?

Answer: Yes. We provide laptop diagnostic, hardware and software repair services. Contact us to arrange an assessment and quotation.

The answers should be factual and based on the actual business.

16. Photo Optimization

Images are an important part of a local business profile.

We review the existing images and identify opportunities for improvement.

Recommended image categories:

• Business exterior

• Branding

• Before/after work where appropriate

We can help identify:

• Missing image types

• Poor-quality images

17. Local Keyword Research

We research keywords that potential customers may use when searching for the business.

Example for printer repair:

The keywords can inform the profile's services, website content, posts and broader Local SEO strategy.

We examine:

• Categories

• Services

• Reviews

• Photos

• Business descriptions

• Profile completeness

• Google Posts

• Website presence

The objective

We identify gaps and opportunities, rather than copying competitors.

• Review content

• Customer sentiment

• Response activity

We can recommend:

• Review request strategies

• Review response procedures

• Customer feedback processes

• Reputation-management improvements

Ongoing review management is available as a separate service.

Name + Address + Phone Number

We check whether important business information is consistent across the available online presence.

We look for discrepancies such as:

Google:

Polai Computers

Website:
