Google Business Profile Setup in Philadelphia

Included, in both packages, at no extra charge. It is the Google Business profile review listed on the website design pricing page, and it happens as part of launching your site rather than as a separate job. If you do not have a profile yet, we set one up and walk you through Google’s verification step, which Google requires the business itself to complete. If you already have one, we go through it field by field and fill in what is missing.

No, and we are not going to promise that. Distance is part of how Google ranks the map results and nobody can change where your customers are standing. What is reachable is being complete, being in the right categories, and being well known, and the largest part of well known is reviews. Getting the profile right removes the reasons Google has to leave you out. It does not on its own beat a competitor with a storefront in the city and years of reviews behind them, and we will say where you realistically stand before starting rather than after.

No. Setting it up is a one-time job and it is part of your launch. Posting to the profile, replying to reviews and running review campaigns are not services we offer. The ongoing half of the monthly plan is hosting and maintenance for the website, not the profile. You keep the profile and the login. We are added as a manager so changes can be made, and you can remove that access whenever you like. Asking your own customers for reviews is the best thing you can do for the listing, and Google’s rules say it has to be asked of everybody rather than only the happy ones, so that part stays yours.

The domain, content, images, listings and profiles of the website are yours to keep and will be transferred over to you, the code remains ours. The website will then be taken down.

Handled properly, no, and handling it is part of the build. Any page that is already bringing you search traffic keeps its web address on the new site, so there is nothing for Google to re-learn. Where an address does have to change, the old one gets a permanent redirect to the page that replaced it, so a saved link or an old search result lands where it should instead of on an error page. Google's own guidance is that a permanent redirect doesn't cost a page the credit it has built up. What does happen after any significant change to a site is a settling period while Google re-crawls it, usually a few weeks, and positions can move in either direction while that happens.

Yes. Our default packages bundle the most common functionality and services together. If there’s something specific you need that’s not covered in our existing packages just let us know, we’ll work with you to tailor a package to your needs.
