Get your shop found online with a fully optimized Google profile.
This business helps brick-and-mortar shops establish a strong online presence through Google My Business (GMB) optimization. With over 80% of local searches resulting in a store visit, a well-optimized GMB profile is crucial. I offer a complete setup service: claiming and verifying the business, selecting the most relevant categories, writing a keyword-rich description, uploading high-quality photos, and setting up posts. The service is delivered remotely with minimal input from the client. Pricing is a one-time fee of $79-$99 per profile, with optional review management at $29/month. The process is automated using scheduling tools and templates, making it feasible as a side hustle. The target clients are local shop owners who lack time or technical skills to manage their online presence.
Google My Business is the #1 factor for local search rankings, and many small businesses still neglect it. With the post-pandemic shift to 'near me' searches, having an optimized profile is essential.
