Why the profile matters more than most ads
Search for "plumber near me" or "barber heights houston" and look at what loads first: a map with three businesses. Those three get most of the calls. Which three show up depends heavily on how complete and accurate each profile is, and most Houston small businesses leave theirs half-empty or unclaimed.
That is the whole opportunity. Setup is not hard, it is just fiddly and easy to get wrong: the wrong primary category, a mismatched phone number, or an unverified listing quietly costs you rankings. We do it correctly once, and it keeps working.
What the flat fee includes
- Claim or create the profile and get it verified
- Correct name, address, phone, and hours everywhere they appear
- Primary and secondary categories chosen for your actual searches
- Services and products filled out, not left blank
- Photos uploaded and ordered so the best ones show first
- A review link you can text to customers
- Website linked, or a one-page site added if you have none
- A 15-minute handoff so you can post updates yourself
Need a website too? Our Growth plan and above include Google Business Profile optimization assistance alongside the site — $0 upfront, from $179/month (launch price for 12 months, then $299) with a 12-month minimum. Compare the plans.

Google Business Profile questions
What is a Google Business Profile?
It is the listing that shows up on Google Maps and in the boxed local results when someone searches for a business like yours: hours, phone, reviews, photos, directions. It is free from Google, and for local searches it often gets seen before any website does.
How much does Google Business Profile setup cost?
A flat $350, one time. That covers claiming or creating the profile, verification, categories, services, photos, and the handoff. No monthly management fee unless you ask for ongoing posting.
Google says my business is already listed but I can't edit it.
Very common. Google auto-creates profiles from public data, and former employees or marketing firms sometimes hold the access. We run the claim and recovery process with you so ownership lands in your Google account, not ours.
Is profile help included in your website plans?
Google Business Profile optimization assistance is included in the Growth plan ($179/month (launch price for 12 months, then $299), $0 upfront, 12-month minimum) and above, so the profile and the website stay aligned as part of the subscription. This $350 setup is a standalone, one-time service for businesses that only need the profile done, whoever built their website.
What's the difference between a website and a Google Business Profile?
The Google Business Profile is your listing on Google Maps and in the local results: hours, reviews, photos, directions. The website is where you explain your services, show your proof and collect leads. They work together. The profile gets you seen, the site closes the job. We help with both.
Do I need a website if I already have a Google Business Profile or Facebook page?
A Google Business Profile gets you on the map, but Google trusts profiles that link to a real website, and customers who compare two businesses usually pick the one with its own site. Facebook pages bury your info under an interface you do not control. A website fixes both — and with $0 upfront, cost is no longer the reason to wait.
