Google Business Profile management and optimization
Part of Leak Stopper
Google Business Profile optimization services and ongoing GBP management for contractors and home service businesses in Houston, TX, done for you every week.
[ What actually happens ]
Most contractors set up a Google Business Profile once, years ago, and have not opened it since. The hours are out of date, the services list is one word, the photographs are whatever Google found, and the reviews sit unanswered.
A homeowner deciding between three names on the map picks the one that looks looked after.
[ What we do about it ]
The profile fixed once, then kept up every week.
- Your listing fixed in week one: hours, services, categories and photographs put right
- Two Google posts a week, written and published for you
- Every Google review answered, in your voice, so the profile never sits silent
A review ask after every job and a text when a new review lands start once your texting registration clears.

What GBP optimization covers
Optimization is the one-time fix. The primary category and the secondary ones, every service named on its own, the service area drawn to the towns you actually drive to, hours that are true, a business description written in plain words, and photographs that are yours. Those are the facts Google reads to decide which searches your listing belongs in.
GMB optimization is the older name for the same work. Google renamed Google My Business to Google Business Profile, and plenty of people still search the old name; the job did not change.
What GBP management covers
Management is everything after the fix, every week. Two posts a week written and published for you, every review answered in your voice, and new photographs added as jobs finish. A profile that is looked after reads as a business that is open and busy.
It also feeds the rest of the work. The asking side of reviews is covered in Google review management, and local SEO explains how the listing and the website work together.
You stay the owner
You add us to the profile as a manager, which you can remove whenever you like, and you stay the owner. If you leave, the listing is still yours with everything we did to it still on it.
For contractors in the city itself, local SEO in Houston covers how the listing is drawn to the towns around it.
How the profile and the website fit together
A profile and a website do different jobs. The profile is what a homeowner sees on the map before they click anything; the website is where they go when they want to know more. Both should say the same things: the same name, the same number, the same services and the same towns. When they disagree, a homeowner who notices stops trusting either of them. If you want the site side handled too, that is website design for contractors.
Who it is not for
If you are under four stars, sending more people to look at your profile makes things worse before it makes them better, and we will tell you that rather than take the money. The pricing page shows what starts this week and what waits on the texting registration, and lead generation for contractors shows where the profile fits in the rest of it.
This is one piece of everything we do. See how it fits roofers, HVAC companies, plumbers, tree services, electricians, landscapers, pest control companies, garage door companies, pool service companies, painting contractors, remodelers, general contractors, cleaning companies, moving companies, junk removal companies and pressure washing companies, or look at the investment for each tier.
