We get you into the Google Map Pack — and keep you there

Our Google Business Profile management service does one thing: it makes your business the obvious choice in that map. No ads. No social media packages you did not ask for. No twelve-line invoice you cannot decode. Just Google.

R4,000 a month. Month-to-month. No setup fee. Cancel with 30 days’ notice.

Who this is for

Local service businesses that live or die by the phone ringing: plumbers, electricians, locksmiths, appliance repair technicians, aircon installers, attorneys, accountants, dentists, security companies, and every trade in between. If your customers search for what you do plus where you are, this service is built for you.

You do not need a website for this to work. If someone searches for your service in your area, we can get you found, called and messaged on WhatsApp — straight from Google. And if you want a site as well, there is a R1,000-a-month add-on further down this page.

Month 1 — we rebuild your profile properly

Most profiles we audit are set up wrong: wrong primary category, half the fields empty, one blurry photo from 2019. Month one fixes all of it.

• Full profile audit — claim status, duplicates, suspensions
• Correct primary and secondary categories — the single biggest ranking factor, and the most common mistake we find
• Every service listed individually, with its own description
• Products, attributes, service areas, hours, and a keyword-rich business description
• Booking and quote links — WhatsApp works perfectly here
• 20–30 geo-tagged photos: your team, your vehicles, your work
• Citation cleanup across South Africa’s key directories (Brabys, Snupit, Cylex, Yellow Pages SA, Bing Places, Apple Maps and more) so your name, address and phone number match everywhere Google looks

Every week, ongoing

• Two Google Posts a week — offers, jobs done, service highlights
• Every new review answered within 24 business hours
• Q&A managed and seeded with the questions your customers actually ask
• Fresh photos uploaded from your jobs

Every month

• A review generation system — templates and tooling that turn finished jobs into Google reviews
• Geo-grid rank tracking report — a map showing exactly where you rank, suburb by suburb, not a vague "you are doing well"
• Insights report: the calls, direction requests and clicks your profile produced
• Competitor gap analysis — what the three profiles above you are doing that you are not

Every quarter

• Full profile and citation re-audit
• Service area tuning based on what is actually bringing in work

Need a website? Add one for R1,000 a month

Plenty of trades have no website at all, and for the Map Pack that is fine. But when someone taps through from your profile and lands nowhere, you lose the ones who wanted to check you out before phoning. So we built a fixed-scope site you can bolt onto this service for R1,000 a month — build and hosting included, no separate build fee, no lock-in.

• A clean, mobile-first site: homepage, services, about, contact and a service-area page
• Copy reused from the profile work, so the site and your Google listing say the same thing
• LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ and Breadcrumb schema so search engines read it properly
• SSL certificate and hosting included
• WhatsApp click-to-chat and click-to-call on every page
• A POPIA privacy policy and cookie notice
• Monthly uptime monitoring and basic maintenance

What it is not: this is not a custom design project, there is no e-commerce, and it is not unlimited edits. You get one template with up to two colour variants, two rounds of revisions during the build and then a design freeze — layout changes after that are quoted as change requests. Maintenance covers up to an hour a month of copy or image changes, and unused time rolls over for a maximum of three months.

It is available to Google Business Profile management clients only — we are not a standalone web agency. Both together is R5,000 a month. If you want a bigger custom build instead, that is a different service: see Website Design & Development, quoted per project from R8,000.

What this service is not

We put this in writing because most agencies will not. Google Business Profile management does not include paid ads, social media management, or SEO for the regular (non-map) rankings. It also does not include website changes to sites we did not build — if your site is what is holding you back, we will tell you straight and point you at the add-on above or at our local SEO work. We will not quietly bill you for work you did not sign up for.

One service, done properly, at one price. That is the whole offer.

How it works

1. Free profile check. Send us your business name on WhatsApp. We tell you what is broken and whether this service will actually help — if it will not, we say so.
2. Month 1 rebuild. We fix the foundation: categories, services, photos, citations. The rebuild is included in the R4,000 — there is no setup fee on top.
3. Ongoing management. Posts, reviews, Q&A, photos and tracking — every week, without you chasing us.
4. Monthly proof. A geo-grid report showing your actual map rankings across your service area, plus the calls and direction requests your profile generated.

Pricing

Google Business Profile management — R4,000 per month. Month-to-month. No setup fee. No long contract. Cancel with 30 days’ notice. The first month includes the full profile rebuild at no extra charge.

Website add-on — R1,000 per month, on top of the R4,000, build and hosting included. Available alongside profile management only.

Transparent pricing. Real reporting. No agency fluff. If you need the full search programme rather than the map — website SEO, content, ads, automation — that lives in our monthly bundles instead, which start at R10,000 a month.

Built for your industry

The pain is different in every industry, so we wrote it out per industry: plumbers and trades, attorneys and accountants, dentists and health practices and event venues. Same offer on every one of them — your language, your problem, your suburb. Start at the industries overview if you want to see the lot.
