Google Business Profile management, done for you.
No listing yet? I create it. Have one? I run it: posts, reviews, photos, Q&A, and reporting. The profile works while you work.
The service
GBP setup service, retainer, and rescue
Three shapes of work, one operator. Start wherever your profile is today.
Profile creation + setup
For businesses with no listing or a bare one: verification, category selection, a keyword-mapped 750-character description, 50 to 100 geotagged photos, Q&A seeding, services menu, and UTM tracking.
Ongoing management
The monthly retainer: 3 posts per week, every review answered within 24 hours, monthly photos and reporting, and competitor monitoring so you know when a rival changes tactics.
Suspended profile recovery
A distinct offer for a distinct emergency. I identify the suspension reason, assemble the documentation, and file the reinstatement request. Most cases clear in 2 to 4 weeks.
Bilingual EN/ES coverage
Spanish posts, Spanish review responses, and Spanish Q&A for the half of Miami that searches in Spanish. Included in the retainer, not bolted on.
Setup, itemized
→ CATEGORIES: primary + secondary, picked against competitors
→ DESCRIPTION: 750 characters, keyword mapped
→ PHOTOS: 50-100 geotagged, uploaded in batches
→ Q&A: 15-20 questions seeded and answered
→ SERVICES: full menu configured
→ TRACKING: UTM links wired into analytics
✓ Profile live and measurable
The monthly cadence
MON/WED/FRI → post published, EN or ES
REVIEW IN → response posted within 24h
MONTHLY → fresh photos uploaded
MONTHLY → report: calls, directions, rankings
ALWAYS → competitor watch: categories, posts, review velocity
✓ Nothing set-and-forget about it
Process
From handoff to running cadence
- 01
Access + audit
I take over the listing or verify a new one, then audit categories, photos, reviews, and the competitors around you.
- 02
Setup or cleanup
New profiles get the full build. Existing profiles get corrected categories, a rewritten description, photo batches, and seeded Q&A.
- 03
Cadence
3 posts per week, reviews answered within 24 hours, monthly photo uploads. In English and Spanish where the market calls for it.
- 04
Report + adjust
A monthly report on calls, direction requests, and rankings. I adjust the cadence based on what the numbers say.
Pricing
Published prices, no contracts
The range depends on posting frequency, review volume, and market intensity. A Brickell law firm and a Westchester bakery are not the same job.
Setup
$500 one time
Creation or full rebuild: categories, description, photos, Q&A, services menu, tracking. Best for new listings or a one-time reset.
Management
$300-$800 per month
The full cadence: posts, review responses, photos, monitoring, reporting. The range tracks posting volume and competition.
Recovery
Per case
Suspension recovery is scoped after I identify the cause. Most cases reinstate in 2 to 4 weeks with proper documentation.

FAQ
GBP management, answered
What does Google Business Profile management include?
Everything the profile needs, every month: 3 posts per week, every review answered within 24 hours, fresh photos uploaded monthly, Q&A monitoring, competitor tracking, and a monthly performance report covering calls, direction requests, and rankings. You approve the voice once, then it runs.
How much does GBP management cost?
Setup is $500 one time. Ongoing management runs $300 to $800 per month depending on posting frequency, review volume, and how competitive your market is. No long-term contracts.
Can you create a Google Business Profile from scratch?
Yes. The $500 setup service covers businesses with no listing at all: verification, primary and secondary category selection, a keyword-mapped 750-character description, 50 to 100 geotagged photos, Q&A seeding with 15 to 20 questions, a full services menu, and UTM tracking so you can see what the profile drives.
Can you recover a suspended Google Business Profile?
Yes, I have recovered dozens. The process: identify the exact suspension reason, gather the documentation Google wants, submit a detailed reinstatement request, and follow up until it resolves. Most suspensions clear in 2 to 4 weeks when proper documentation exists.
Do you post and answer reviews in Spanish?
Yes. For Miami businesses the retainer includes Spanish posts and Spanish review responses. Bilingual coverage is standard here, not an upsell surprise.
What is the difference between GBP management and GBP optimization?
Optimization is the ranking strategy: the audit, the relevance and prominence engineering, the review engine design. Management is the ongoing execution: posts, responses, photos, monitoring, and reporting. Most clients start with optimization and keep management running. See the Google Business Profile optimization page for the ranking side.
