How we set up and manage your listing

Nearby buyers make their choice on a map, in the moment, and a verified, complete Google Business Profile keeps you in that choice. Vivid Concept builds the profile for a Los Angeles company, or improves the one it already has, as part of our wider SEO service.

We get you verified first, because Google shows unverified listings to fewer people. Then we add every field buyers check: business name, categories, phone, hours, description, services and photographs, so the listing answers their questions before they call.

If you serve clients at their location, the listing can show a service area and keep your street address private. Review replies are drafted for your approval, the map on your own website shows visitors exactly where to find you, and a monthly report shows the views, calls and direction requests your listing brings you.

Why the listing is its own job

A florist stands in her shop doorway checking a phone with a marketer who points at the street outside; flowers around them.

Google orders local results by relevance, distance and prominence. Relevance comes from a complete, accurate profile. Distance is where the searcher happens to stand. Prominence grows with reviews, photographs and mentions of your business across the web, and that is where steady upkeep pays off, month after month.

Your website and your map listing strengthen each other, which is why we run both inside SEO while giving the listing attention of its own. Buyers who compare restaurants and local services by their reviews will also check Yelp, so that listing deserves the same care.

The map on your own website

A Google map on your contact page does three jobs at once. Visitors see your exact location without leaving the page, and the pin keeps them from confusing you with a business of a similar name or type. The streets and landmarks around it guide anyone heading for a door that is hard to spot from the street.

A directions link completes the picture: on a phone it opens the map app with your address already entered, so one tap gets you on your way. Local searches that start on a phone are part of our online marketing work.

Google, Apple Maps and Bing Places, kept in step

A person checks the store's opening hours on a map on a phone in the street.

Your listing reaches further when it appears on every major map. Apple Business Connect lets a verified owner claim the place card shown across Apple Maps, Messages and Siri, with a logo, photos and Showcases for offers. Bing Places for Business covers Microsoft's results.

We claim all three and keep your name, address and phone number identical across them, so every map gives buyers the same details and sends them to your current number. On Google itself, we take care of three details for you.

  • Call tracking counts every call your listing brings in and shows exactly what the profile earns.
  • Video verification planned and recorded with you: a live, unedited clip of at least 30 seconds that shows your location, the business at work and proof that you manage it.
  • Service-area photos, shot by our photographers, that show your tools, equipment and work in progress in place of a storefront.

Genuine reviews, earned the right way

Reviews decide which local business gets the call, and genuine ones keep winning calls long after they are posted. The Federal Trade Commission's rule on reviews protects exactly that kind of rating, and it is the only kind we help you build.

Every review we help you gather comes from a real buyer, and every reply treats the reviewer with respect, so a reader sees a business that listens. A steady flow of fresh, genuine reviews also lifts your prominence on the map, and that brings in the next call.

Local advertising has its own paid product, and reviews count there as well. Local Services Ads management covers verification, service areas, budgets and lead handling for the pay-per-lead listings that appear on Google Search and Google Maps. On any of these listings, three habits keep fresh reviews arriving.

  • Every buyer asked the same easy way, with one direct link.
  • A clear route to your review page, right from your website.
  • A reply to every review in the owner's voice, good or bad.

Google Maps Marketing Questions & Answers

How do I verify my business on Google?

Google offers verification by postcard, phone, email or video, matched to your business type. We take you through the process from the first request, prepare everything Google asks for and resolve a rejection if one ever comes back.

Do reviews affect where I appear on the map?

Review quantity, quality and your replies all feed local prominence. Replies come with the service, and we help you ask buyers for feedback in a way that keeps you within Google's rules.

Can I hide my address if I work from home?

Yes. A service-area business can hide its street address and list the areas it serves. Set up that way, the listing follows Google's guidelines and your home address stays private.

Is Google Maps the same as a Google Business Profile?

The Business Profile is the listing you manage. Google Maps and Google Search are where it appears. So being on Google Maps really means having a complete Business Profile that Google has confirmed, and that profile is what we build.
