What is Google Business Profile Optimisation?
Your Google listing is your digital shop front. Most businesses leave it half-finished.
166|160|153|Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the listing that appears when someone searches for your type of business in your area. It shows your name, rating, hours, photos, phone number, and a link to your website — all above the regular search results.
167|161|154|An optimised profile ranks higher, gets more clicks, and converts more searchers into callers. An incomplete or neglected profile means Google pushes your competitors ahead of you.
168|162|155|Cloud Hak audits your existing profile, fixes every gap, optimises categories and attributes, sets up a review management system, and creates a posting plan. Calls and leads from your Google Business listing feed directly into GoHighLevel CRM, so no customer is missed — your profile actively works to bring in customers.

FAQ
Common questions about Google Business Profile Optimisation
What is Google Business Profile optimisation?
Google Business Profile optimisation is the process of setting up, completing, and improving your Google Business Profile so your business ranks higher in local Google searches and Google Maps. This includes your business name, category, hours, photos, reviews, and posts.
Why does my Google Business Profile matter?
97% of people search online for a local business before visiting or calling. Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing they see. An incomplete or poorly optimised profile means losing those customers to competitors.
How quickly does GMB optimisation work?
Most businesses see improved local ranking within 2-4 weeks of optimisation. Review growth and engagement improvements are visible immediately.
How much does Google Business Profile optimisation cost?
GMB optimisation starts from £150 as a one-time setup or £100/month for ongoing management including posts, review replies, and performance tracking.
Do you also handle Google reviews?
Yes. We set up review request systems, reply to reviews on your behalf, and monitor your review score and volume over time.
What is the difference between GMB optimisation and SEO?
GMB optimisation focuses on your Google Business Profile and Maps listing — the results that appear at the top of local searches with phone numbers, photos, and reviews. SEO covers your website ranking in organic search results. Most businesses need both.
