Is your Google listing working for you?

We have a Google listing, but we never show up on the map.

A half-finished profile rarely makes the top three.

Our details are wrong and we don't know how to fix them.

Wrong hours or a wrong phone number cost you customers every day.

We set it up years ago and haven't touched it since.

Google rewards listings that are complete and up to date.

How it works

How Google Business Profile works

When someone searches "dentist near me" or "plumber in Luton", Google shows a map with three local businesses. That map comes from Google Business Profile, and the top three get most of the calls.

Google chooses who to show by looking at three things: how well your profile matches the search, how close you are, and how well known and trusted your business is.

A lot of that comes down to your profile. The right category, every service listed, correct hours and good photos all help Google match you to more searches.

We set all of that up properly. And if you'd like us to look after it every month, we can do that too.

Frequently asked questions

Can't see your question? Book a free call and ask us directly.

Farzana and Uzair Kharawala, co-founders of SF Digital Studios
What is a Google Business Profile?

It's your free business listing on Google. It's what people see on Google Maps and at the side of the search results: your name, reviews, hours, photos and a button to call you.

Is this a one-off or a monthly service?

Both. Most businesses start with a one-off set-up and optimisation. You can then add monthly management, where we upload your new photos, check everything is working properly, track where you show up on Google Maps and send you a report.

I already have a listing. Can you improve it?

Yes. Most of our work is on existing listings that are incomplete, out of date or set up in the wrong category.

Do I need a shop or an office?

No. If you travel to your customers, we set up your profile with the areas you cover instead of an address.

Will this get me to the top of Google Maps?

Nobody can guarantee a position. A complete, accurate profile gives you the best chance, and your reviews and location matter too.

How is this different from Local SEO?

Your Google Business Profile is your listing on Google Maps. Local SEO gets your website ranking in the normal Google results. They work well together.

Do I own my profile?

Yes. It's always your listing, in your own Google account. We just work on it for you.

Do I have to sign a long contract?

No. The set-up is a one-off, and monthly management has no long contract.

Why should you listen to us?

We're proud to have presented for some of the biggest brands and at some of the biggest marketing events.

How Your Google Business Profile Brings in Customers

Is your Google listing working for you? Try this. Search for what you do plus your town. Do you show up on the map? If you don't, your competitors are getting those calls. Hello, I'm Uzair and thanks for visiting our website. Let me explain how Google Business Profile brings in customers. When someone searches for dentist near me or plumber in Luton, Google shows a map with three local businesses.

That map comes from Google Business Profile and the top three get most of the calls. So, how does Google choose those three? It looks at three things. It looks at how well your profile matches the search. It looks at how close you are and it looks at how well-known and trusted your business is. A lot of that comes down to your profile.

The right category matters. So, does listing every service, having the correct hours, and adding good photos. All of that helps Google match you to more searches. So, I set it all up properly for you. Here's how it works. We start with a free call. We talk about your business, your area, and how you show up today. Then, we review your profile.

I check what's missing, what's wrong, and what your competitors do better. Next comes the setup. I sort out your categories, your services, your details, your description, and your photos. After that, you choose. I can hand it back to you or we can manage it every month so it stays ahead of your competitors. Think about what a customer sees on your profile.

They see your stars, your hours, your photos, your services. They can call you or get directions in one tap. It works best if you serve customers in a town, a city, or a local area. Click the book a call button around this video. It's a free 30-minute call on Google Meet. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to catching up with you sometime soon.
