Can you create a new Google Business Profile?+
Yes, for an eligible business that does not already have a profile. We help organize accurate business details, appropriate categories, services, and website information. Google determines eligibility and verification requirements.
Can you optimize an existing Google Business Profile?+
Yes. We review your existing profile for outdated or missing information and refine approved categories, services, website connection, hours, contact details, and location or service-area settings where appropriate.
Is Google verification included?+
We can guide you through the steps Google requests, but Google controls verification methods, approval, and timing. Your participation may be required, and approval is not guaranteed.
Do you guarantee higher rankings or Map Pack placement?+
No. We do not guarantee higher rankings, Map Pack placement, calls, leads, or other outcomes. The work focuses on accurate, complete business information.
Is this the same as Local SEO?+
No. This is a separate, one-time Google Business Profile service, not recurring Local SEO management. Foundational SEO is included with an A&E website build; ongoing SEO growth is available through the optional Website Growth Partnership for current A&E website clients.
Do you manage Google reviews?+
Practical review guidance may be discussed where appropriate, but ongoing review responses, review management, and review-generation campaigns are not included in this one-time service.
Do you post to my Google Business Profile every month?+
No. Monthly posting and recurring Google Business Profile management are not included. Any ongoing work would need separate scope.
Do I own and control the profile?+
Yes. You retain ownership and control of your profile. We work through appropriate access permissions and never ask for your password.
Can a Google Business Profile support Google Ads?+
A consistent business profile can support your overall presence, but Google Ads Management is a separate paid service and is not included with profile setup or optimization.
Do you work with businesses throughout Michigan?+
Yes. We serve businesses in markets such as Detroit, Farmington Hills, Novi, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Troy, Birmingham, and other Michigan communities. These are markets served, not additional A&E office locations.
What information or access will you need from me?+
We will need approved business details such as your name, contact information, hours, services, website, and actual location or service area. For an existing profile, you provide appropriate access permissions; Google may require you to complete verification steps.
What happens after the one-time optimization is complete?+
We review the completed changes and provide handoff guidance so you can keep your details current. Ongoing posting, review management, recurring Local SEO, and additional work are not included unless separately scoped.
