Your Google Business Profile, Cleaned Up and Optimized
You have a Google Business Profile. It just isn't pulling its weight. This is a one-time cleanup that fixes the categories, description, and photos, and puts a real system in place to start earning more 5-star reviews — so your profile gives Google and local customers a clearer, more trustworthy picture of your business.
Most small business profiles aren't broken. They're just half-finished.
And a half-finished profile gives Google and potential customers less to go on. Reviews are usually the biggest gap of all — most owners know they need more, but never have a repeatable way to actually ask for them. None of this guarantees you rank poorly — but every gap gives your customers less information to trust.
A broad or inaccurate category
A generic category instead of the exact one you offer can make it harder for Google to match you to the right searches.
Missing or vague services
A customer can't tell at a glance what you actually do.
Old, thin, or disorganized photos
Your work is your best sales tool, and it's barely showing.
A description that says almost nothing
A sentence or two that could belong to any company in any city.
No system to collect reviews
You have real reviews, but no simple system to ask happy customers for more.
No recent posts
The profile hasn't published an update in months, so it looks inactive.
If we don't complete every deliverable in five business days,
you get 50% back.
If we don't complete every agreed deliverable within five business days after receiving your payment, manager access, completed intake, and required materials — and the delay is within our control — we'll refund 50% of your payment.
It guarantees the agreed work, completed on time. It does not guarantee rankings, leads, calls, reviews, or revenue — nobody can honestly promise those.
This does not apply to delays caused by missing information, access, or materials on your side, or to Google's own verification, review, suspension, or platform delays outside our control. If anything like that happens, we'll document it in your completion report.
Simple version: if we're late and it's on us, you get half your money back.
Start My GBP Growth Sprint →A focused, one-time cleanup and optimization of your profile.
We audit it, fix what's weak, add what's missing, and put a real review-generation system in place — then document every change.
It is not a long SEO campaign. It is not a monthly retainer. It is not a promise that you'll rank first in the map results by Friday.
It's a clean, complete, well-organized profile — with a repeatable way to keep earning reviews — done once, done right, and handed back to you.
8 things we fix, add, or set up on your profile.
No mystery packages. No vague deliverables. That includes a real, ongoing system for getting more reviews — not just a one-time cleanup.
Complete profile audit
We flag anything missing, inaccurate, outdated, weak, or inconsistent — you see exactly where the gaps are before anything changes.
Category review and optimization
We select the most relevant primary and secondary categories based on the services you actually offer.
Business description rewrite
Plain language that explains what you do, where you work, and why a local customer should care. No keyword-stuffing.
Photo upload and organization
You send 10–15 photos you own or have permission to use. We upload and organize them so your best work is front and center.
NAP consistency check
We check whether your name, address, and phone match between your Google profile and your website. A focused check, not a full citation campaign.
Review-request system
A direct review link, a QR code, and simple email/text templates you can use after every job — a repeatable way to keep new reviews coming in, following Google's rules, no incentives, no filtering.
Five Google Business Profile posts
Written and scheduled, specific to your business — projects, services, useful updates, not generic filler.
Before-and-after completion report
What we reviewed, what we changed, before-and-after screenshots, anything we couldn't change and why, and your completed checklist.
Built for owner-operated Triangle small businesses.
Home services, restaurants, salons, boutiques, and other owner-operated small businesses — usually $200K–$3M in revenue, no full-time marketing person, and a profile that's been sitting there half-finished.
This is for you if:
- You want more estimate requests and stronger local visibility.
- You want more reviews from happy customers, without chasing them yourself.
- You don't want a long contract or a confusing monthly service.
- Your Google profile has been sitting there half-finished.
- You want to keep full ownership and control of your profile.
This is not for you if:
- You're looking for guaranteed rankings, leads, or calls.
- You want ongoing monthly management right now.
- Your profile is suspended, unverified, or in an ownership dispute.
- You need a full website SEO campaign or a new website.
The five-business-day clock starts only after we've received everything below.
The sooner it's all in, the sooner we start. If something's missing, we'll tell you exactly what we need — but the timeline waits until it's all here.
Payment
Completed intake form
GBP manager invite
Your website URL
Correct NAP & hours
List of your services
10–15 usable photos
Your logo (optional)
Here's what actually happens once we have everything.
The order may shift slightly depending on what your profile needs, but the deliverables stay exactly the same.
Audit and Information Check
Day 1
We review the full profile and cross-check your intake details.
Categories, Details, Description
Day 2
We fix categories, correct business information, and rewrite the description.
Photos and Review System
Day 3
We upload and organize your photos and set up your review link, QR code, and templates.
Google Business Profile Posts
Day 4
We write and schedule your five posts.
Quality Check and Report
Day 5
We review everything, capture the after screenshots, and deliver your completion report.
No passwords. No account handover.
You send a manager invitation from your Google Business Profile — that's it. You can remove our access the moment the work is done.
Start My GBP Growth Sprint →Along the way, we may spot other opportunities. If the audit turns up something beyond this sprint's scope — extra citation cleanup, a bigger photo/video package, ongoing posting — that could meaningfully boost your profile further, we'll flag it and quote it separately. Nothing extra is ever added without your approval.
Direct access, a documented process, and the risk on us.
AK Digital House is a Raleigh-based digital agency. When you hire us, you work directly with our team — not a rotating account manager or an outsourced call center.
Direct, hands-on work
We personally audit, update, check, and document your profile — no account gets passed off to a junior coordinator.
Every deliverable listed upfront
The process is visible from the first day to the last. You get a completed checklist and a before-and-after report.
Certified in Google Business Profile
Our team is certified in Google Business Profile best practices — see the section below for what that does and doesn't mean.
Risk on us, not you
The introductory price reflects that this is a newer standalone offer. The guarantee below puts the risk on us.
What "certified" means here — and what it doesn't.
Our team has completed BrightLocal Academy's Google Business Profile Management 101 coursework, so this work follows documented best practices instead of guesswork. That training is proof we studied the material — it is not a Google Partner badge, and it doesn't come from Google itself endorsing us. We won't claim otherwise, and any agency that implies a training certificate makes them "Google certified" is stretching the truth.
A complete, accurate profile that shows up when customers are looking — not a checklist item.
The goal of this sprint isn't a nicer-looking listing. It's more calls, more direction requests, and more customers finding you before they find a competitor. Every change we make — category, photos, description, review system — is chosen because it moves one of those numbers.
This work follows a documented process built on BrightLocal Academy's Google Business Profile Management 101 coursework, so nothing is guesswork or a guess dressed up as strategy. You get the same standard on every profile, whether you're a first-time client or a referral from someone we've already delivered for.
You also deal with one person from start to finish — no account manager, no handoffs, no chasing an offshore team for updates. When the sprint is done, you get a before-and-after report showing exactly what changed and why.
Your visibility is our reputation. A half-finished profile doesn't get referred to the next business owner. A complete one does — so we treat every sprint like it needs to earn that.
Two ways to work together. Real prices, no sales call required.
Both tiers include a real system for getting more reviews going forward — not just a one-time cleanup. This is introductory pricing for this specific service. Pay once, get the work, keep your profile.

Real answers, no agency-speak.
If your question isn't here, ask it directly before you start.
Do you guarantee we'll rank in the Google map results?
No. Google controls its own rankings, and anyone who guarantees a map position is selling you something they can't deliver. This sprint gives Google and your customers a more complete, accurate profile — which is the foundation for visibility, not a shortcut to it.
Do you need my Google password?
No. You send us a manager invitation from your Google Business Profile. We never ask for or receive your password.
When does the five-business-day timeline begin?
It starts the day we've received everything we need from you: payment, manager access, your completed intake, and your photos and materials. Not before.
What photos do I need to provide?
10–15 clear photos of your work, team, or business that you own or have permission to use. Photos of your work, your space, or your team work best to showcase your business.
Can I make these changes myself?
Yes, technically all of it. Most owners just don't have the time to do it properly, and the details — categories, consistent information, a real review system — are easy to get half-right. This is us doing it right, once, and documenting it.
Is this an ongoing monthly service?
No. It's a one-time sprint. If you want ongoing help later, we can talk about it — but nothing here commits you to anything monthly.
Can you help if my profile is suspended or unverified?
The standard $297 offer is for a profile that's already verified and accessible. Suspensions, reinstatements, verification appeals, duplicate removal, and ownership disputes are different problems that may need a separate quote. Tell us what's going on and we'll be straight with you about whether we can help.
Does this include website SEO or full citation cleanup?
No. This is focused on your Google Business Profile. The NAP check confirms your name, address, and phone match between your profile and website — it's a consistency check, not a full citation campaign. Website SEO and redesign are separate services.
What kinds of businesses is this built for?
It's built for owner-operated small businesses across the Triangle — home services, restaurants, salons, boutiques, and other local businesses. Reach out if you're not sure you fit.
What happens to your access after the sprint?
You can remove our manager access as soon as the work is delivered. We don't hold onto your profile, and we never take ownership of it.
Will you remove negative reviews?
No. Review removal isn't something we offer, and honestly, it's largely outside anyone's control on Google. What we do set up is a compliant system to earn more honest reviews going forward.
What does 'certified' mean here?
Our team has completed BrightLocal Academy's Google Business Profile Management 101 coursework. That means we studied and passed that material — it does not make us a Google Partner or mean Google itself endorses us, and we won't claim otherwise.
Give your profile the five days it needs.
One profile, fully audited, cleaned up, and set up to start earning more reviews — for $297, delivered in five business days, with manager access only and no passwords. If we're late and it's our fault, you get 50% back.
