Your Google Business Profile is the most visible piece of real estate in local search. AIG Web Methods optimizes and actively manages your GBP so it drives more calls, more directions, and more customers — consistently.
When someone searches "electrician near me" or "roof repair [city]," Google shows them the local 3-pack — a map with three business listings — before it shows any websites. Those three spots get the majority of local clicks and calls. If you're not in the pack, you're invisible.
Your Google Business Profile is the primary signal Google uses to decide who belongs in that 3-pack. A fully optimized, actively managed GBP is not optional — it's the foundation of local search visibility.
AIG Web Methods builds GBP programs that treat your listing as a living marketing asset — not a "set it and forget it" directory entry.
We audit your existing profile (or build it from scratch) and optimize every field: business name, categories, description, service areas, products, attributes, and more — aligned with how your best customers search.
Regular GBP posting signals activity to Google and gives you a second chance to capture searchers browsing your profile. We write and publish 1–2 posts per week — offers, seasonal content, service highlights, and business updates.
GBP profiles with more photos get dramatically more engagement. We implement a structured photo plan covering your team, work, location, and equipment — uploaded on a consistent schedule with proper geo-tagging and naming.
We build a systematic review request process that turns your satisfied customers into a consistent stream of 5-star reviews — without awkward asks or policy violations. Review velocity and recency are core GBP ranking signals.
We monitor your Q&A section and respond to customer questions proactively. We also help you craft professional, on-brand responses to all reviews — which builds trust with new visitors and signals engagement to Google.
You see the real numbers every month: profile views, call clicks, direction requests, and search queries. We track what's working and adjust the strategy based on data — not instinct.
