How does Google Business Profile ranking actually work?
Google ranks profiles on a small set of measurable signals: how close the searcher is to your location, category accuracy, Name-Address-Phone consistency across the web, LocalBusiness schema on your site, completeness of your services section, review quantity and velocity, and profile activity. Every signal can be audited and improved. Ranking is technical, not random.
What does it cost?
$500 one-time for the foundational setup, then $1,500 per month for ongoing management. No long-term contract. Every account is run by Logan Jack.
How long until I see results?
Most businesses see measurable rank movement within 30 to 90 days. The first month is foundation work that compounds in months two and three. More competitive markets take longer. We track your local-pack position so you can see movement as it happens.
How is this different from regular SEO?
Regular SEO targets the organic blue-link results. GBP optimization targets the 3-Pack map results at the top of every local search. They use different ranking signals — and the 3-Pack gets roughly 44% of all clicks on "near me" searches, which is why it's its own discipline.
Do you take photos of my business?
No. We don't take photos and we don't use stock or AI images. We upload your real photos in a steady drip so Google sees consistent profile activity. If your photo library is thin, we'll give you a checklist of what to capture.
What happens if my profile gets suspended?
Suspension monitoring and recovery is included in the monthly management fee. If a managed profile gets flagged, we respond the same day — gather the documentation Google requires, file the reinstatement, and track it to resolution.
