How long does it take to set up a Google Business Profile?

The initial setup and optimisation takes 3 to 5 business days. Google verification can take an additional 1 to 2 weeks depending on the method. I handle the entire process from start to finish.

Can you help with negative reviews on Google?

Yes. I set up a review response strategy that addresses negative reviews professionally and encourages happy customers to leave positive ones. A well managed review profile builds trust and improves your local search ranking.

Do I need a physical location for Google Business Profile?

Not necessarily. Service area businesses (like photographers, cleaners, or mobile services) can set up a Google Business Profile without showing an address. You define your service area instead. I will help you choose the right setup for your business type.
