People find you
Someone types what they need and the town. A complete profile gives Google what it needs to show your business when it fits what they searched.
Google Business Profile setup and management for small businesses in Alaska
When somebody looks your business up on Google, your Google Business Profile is usually the first thing they see. It shows your hours, your phone number, photos of your work and your reviews, and plenty of people call you right from it without ever opening your website.
Elyisius sets up and manages Google Business Profiles for small businesses in Soldotna, Kenai, Anchorage and all over Alaska. We claim your profile or clean it up, get every detail matching your website, and keep it current through the year, so the business people find on Google is the one you're running today.
What your Google Business Profile does
A Google Business Profile is one of the essential components of a business. It's how your business shows up in a regular Google search and on Google Maps when someone nearby looks up what you do.
They decide fast
Your hours, photos and reviews answer most of their questions before they ever pick up the phone.
They reach you in one tap
They can call you, get directions or go to your website straight from your profile.
Your reviews live there
What your customers say about you sits right beside your business name, and so do your replies.
You see what it brings in
Your profile shows how many people called, asked for directions or went to your website from it.
Where profiles go wrong
Most of these happen because the profile got set up once and then the busy season took over. We've had those seasons in our own businesses.
Google made the listing
Google sometimes builds a listing on its own from what it finds online. Until the profile is claimed, you can't change what it says about your business.
The hours are from last season
Summer hours that never got changed back send customers to a locked door.
The phone number changed
Your customers might be calling a number you don't have anymore.
The photos are years old
If the newest photo is from years ago, people can't tell what your business does today.
Reviews don't come in on their own
Asking for reviews is easy to forget in a busy week, so the profile stays quiet even when the work is good.
What we set up and keep up
We look your business up the way a customer would
Then we go over what comes up with you, so you know how your business looks to someone who's never heard of it.
We claim your profile or clean it up
If you don't have one, we set it up and help you get it verified. If you do, we fix the name, category, hours, phone number and services so they match your website.
We make it show what you do
Every service you offer, the towns you work in and real photos of your work, so people can tell right away you're the business they need.
We have a strategy for reviews
We help you get reviews coming in and answer the ones you have, so new customers can see how you treat people.
We keep it current
Holiday hours, new services, new photos and posts through the year. And we show you how many people called or asked for directions from your profile.
Want to start on it yourself first? Our guide on why a Google Business Profile matters walks through the basics.
What owners ask about Google Business Profiles
What is a Google Business Profile
A Google Business Profile is the free listing that shows your business in Google search and on Google Maps. It holds your business name, hours, phone number, address or service area, photos, services and reviews. For a lot of people it's the first thing they see about your business.
How do I get my business on Google
You create or claim your Google Business Profile, and Google checks that the business is really yours before you can manage it. Once it's verified, you fill in your details and keep them current. We can set it up for you, or help you claim one Google already made.
Why isn't my business showing up on Google
Usually it's one of a few things. The profile isn't verified, the category doesn't match what you do, or your details don't match your website and your other listings. Sometimes there's just a lot of competition for that search. We look your business up the same way a customer would and tell you what we find.
Does a Google Business Profile cost anything
Google doesn't charge for the profile itself. What it takes is time to set it up right and keep it current, and that's the part we take off your plate.
Can you manage my profile for me
Yes. We keep your hours, services and photos current, help you answer reviews and post updates through the year. You stay the owner of the profile, and we work on it with the access you give us.
Can you get my business to number one on Google
No. We'll never promise you'll be number one on Google, or that you'll make a certain amount of money by a certain date. Nobody can honestly promise that, and anyone who does is guessing. What we will promise is to tell you the truth about where your business is at, build exactly what we agreed on, and show you what's working and what isn't.
Do you work outside Soldotna
Yes. We're based in Soldotna, with Kenai, Sterling, Kasilof and Nikiski close by, and because most of the work is online, we also set up Google Business Profiles for businesses in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau and the Mat-Su Valley.
