Google Business Profile help for Manchester and Stockport businesses

Search for a local service and Google usually shows business listings before any website: hours, reviews, photos and a call button. If your listing is missing, wrong or neglected, customers move on to the next one. We set listings up, repair them and can look after them for you.

Common problems we sort out

Never verified

A profile that was started but never finished, or where verification keeps failing.

Suspended or vanished

A listing that dropped out of search or carries a suspension warning, frequently triggered by an address change.

Wrong details

Old phone numbers, wrong hours, an old address or a link to the wrong page.

Duplicate listings

Two profiles for one business, splitting reviews and confusing customers.

Lost access

A former employee or supplier set it up and nobody now controls it.

Not showing up

The business does not appear for the services it offers, even close by.

Setup or ongoing management

Choose a single tidy-up, a monthly service, or both.

Service-area businesses in Manchester and Stockport

Many Manchester and Stockport businesses visit customers rather than welcoming them in, so Google’s rules on showing or hiding an address matter. Plumbers, cleaners, mobile mechanics and IT companies usually need a service area rather than a public address. We manage our own profile as a collection-based business with appointment-only offices, so we deal with these rules ourselves.

Google cross-checks your listing against your website, so the two should tell the same story. When the website is the weaker half, local SEO is where we would start.

Questions

Do you need my Google password?

No. For management, you add us as a manager through Google, and you can remove that access at any time. Never send passwords by email.

Can you get my suspended profile back?

We can find the likely reason, correct it and help you submit a reinstatement request, but the decision is Google’s.

How much does it cost?

Setup depends on where your profile starts, and management depends on what is included each month. We agree the scope and price in writing before anything starts.
