Is Your Google Business Profile Costing You Customers?

Imagine this: someone searches for your service on Google—maybe “HVAC repair in Gulf Shores” or “best coffee shop near me.”Your competitors pop up with crisp photos, glowing reviews, business hours, and updates. You? You’re buried... or worse, invisible.
If your Google Business Profile (GBP) isn’t up-to-date and optimized, you could be leaving money on the table every single day. Why Google Business Profiles Matter

Your GBP is often the first impression customers get before ever clicking your website. It shows up in local search results, Google Maps, and “near me” queries—and it can make or break your chance of getting that call, click, or visit.
🚩 Common GBP Mistakes That Hurt Your Visibility
Outdated business hours
Missing or incorrect contact info
No photos (or worse—bad ones)
Unanswered reviews
No keyword-rich business description
Inconsistent updates (no posts, no news, no action)
These aren’t just small errors—they’re conversion killers. What an Optimized GBP Can Do for You

When set up correctly, your Google Business Profile can:
Help you show up in the coveted Local 3-Pack (top 3 results on Maps)
Increase phone calls, website visits, and foot traffic
Build trust with reviews and real-time updates
Boost your credibility—even with no ad spend
Our Pro Tip: Treat GBP Like a Mini Website
Google favors active, well-maintained profiles. That means:
Uploading new photos regularly
Responding to all reviews
Posting weekly updates or offers
Keeping every detail 100% accurate
It’s not about hacking the algorithm—it’s about showing up consistently.
