Your Google Business Profile is the single most valuable local marketing asset you own — and most London businesses use about 20% of what it can actually do. I manage it properly: categories, services, photos, posts, reviews, citations, and the ranking signals Google uses to decide who shows up in the map pack. Done-for-you, monthly, no long contracts.
For plumbers, electricians, builders, clinics, locksmiths and trades businesses across London, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Essex and Kent.
The Problem
When someone in your area searches "plumber near me" or "electrician Wandsworth" or "physio Sevenoaks", Google shows them three businesses in the map pack at the top of the results. Those three businesses get most of the calls. Everyone else gets scraps.
Getting into that map pack isn't luck. It's the output of about fifteen specific signals Google measures. Most London businesses I audit are losing on at least eight of those signals — and no one has ever told them, because their previous agency was too busy charging for "SEO" to fix the free asset that drives most of their local calls.
✗ What I Usually Find on London GBPs
✓ A Properly Managed Profile
What's Included
Three phases of work, running in parallel after the first month.
The Methodology
Most agencies treat GBP management as "filling out the form." That's why their clients sit at position 12 forever. The map pack is built on a measurable set of ranking signals — get most of them right and you move up.
Profile Signals
Engagement Signals
Authority Signals
I work on the fourteen you can control. The proximity signal then takes care of itself for searches within your service area.
Industries I work with
A plumber's profile needs different categories, photos, and review prompts than a physio clinic's. A roofer needs different post content than a locksmith. I only work with local businesses — so I know what each industry needs.
Coverage Area
If you serve a specific borough or town, that's exactly the kind of business GBP management works best for.
If your profile has been suspended, you're losing customers every single day it's offline. Don't panic — and don't post anything new to the profile while it's suspended, as this often makes things worse.
I handle GBP suspension reinstatement as a separate service. The process is methodical: identify the likely cause, prepare the reinstatement appeal with the right documentation, submit through the correct channel, and follow up until it's resolved. Most suspensions are reinstated within 5–14 days when the appeal is built properly.
