What our clients say

"The restaurant itself is beautiful, but our old site made it look like a chain. Jarred built something that finally matches the atmosphere inside these walls. Now people book before they even walk in."

Owner, Ember & Oak Steakhouse
"Our users live on their phones and the old site was unusable on mobile. Jarred rebuilt the entire front end — it looks incredible and actually works where our audience is."

Questions about Google Business Profile

What is Google Business Profile?

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the listing that appears when someone searches for your business on Google or Google Maps. It shows your hours, address, phone number, photos, reviews, and more. It's often the first thing a potential customer sees — before they even visit your website.

How long does setup take?

Most profiles are fully set up and optimized within 3 to 5 business days. That includes verification, photo uploads, category selection, and service area setup. We handle the entire process so you don't have to deal with postcard verification or Google's interface.

Can you optimize my existing profile?

Yes. If you already have a profile but it's incomplete, outdated, or not ranking well, we'll audit what's there and optimize everything — categories, photos, posts, Q&A, and review response strategy.

Does GBP help with SEO?

Absolutely. A fully optimized Google Business Profile is one of the strongest signals for local search rankings. When someone searches for a service or product near them, Google prioritizes profiles that are complete, active, and well-reviewed.

Do I need a website for GBP to work?

No, a Google Business Profile works on its own — but pairing it with a well-built website multiplies your visibility. If you don't have a site, we can build one. If you do, we'll connect the two so they work together.

Can you manage my profile ongoing?

Yes. We offer ongoing management that includes weekly posts, review response, photo updates, Q&A monitoring, and performance tracking. We handle everything so your profile stays active and competitive.
