Plan 1 · Local Presence
Become the obvious choice on Google
Before they ever call, customers size you up on Google — and a stale profile reads like a business that's slipping. Google's own advice for local businesses is short and specific: complete information, accurate hours, photos, and replying to reviews. We do that work every week, so the customer comparing you against two competitors picks you.
What Google actually says about ranking
Google names three things for local results: relevance, distance, and prominence — and says prominence comes from how many sites link to you and how many reviews you have, with “more reviews and positive ratings” able to help your local ranking. Its published tips for keeping your profile working are complete business information, a verified location, accurate hours, replying to reviews, and photos. Weekly posts are not on that list — independent testing has found no measurable ranking lift from posting. We publish them because they're what a customer sees when deciding whether to call, not because they move your rank. Nobody can guarantee rankings, us included.
Right for you if: Google already sends you business, but nobody on your team keeps the profile up.
How we do it:
-
A fresh post every week — from the offers,
events, photos, and news you approve, so the customer checking
you out sees a business that's open and busy
Post examples & limits
Posts can feature an approved offer, event, update, photo, or news item — you supply the facts and assets. A week with no approved material is skipped; skipped weeks don't accumulate or roll over.
- Your details kept right — hours, services, phone, and links, so nobody hits a wrong number or a closed door. It's the first thing on Google's own list
-
Up to 50 routine review replies a month —
normally within 2 business days, in your voice, under rules you
approve. Google says helpful replies help you stand out; every
reviewer sees you show up
What counts as a routine review?
Routine replies are thank-yous and ordinary service responses that follow the written voice and rules you approve. Complaints, legal or safety issues, refunds, employee allegations, and regulated claims come to you before any reply goes out.
- Problems caught early — we fix routine profile issues before customers notice, and send anything sensitive to you to decide
- A monthly summary — work done, items still open
Your part: give us manager access, keep the post content coming, tell us when things change, and approve our reply rules.
Take my Google profile off my plateWho does what, and what's not included
BSS handles
- Routine edits to one verified profile you own
- One Google post published each week from content you provide and approve
- Up to 50 routine review replies per month, normally within 2 business days
- Escalating complaints, legal, safety, or policy issues to you
- The monthly work and exception summary
You provide
- A verified profile and secure manager access
- Accurate changes before they should go public
- A steady supply of offers, events, photos, and news, so there is approved content to post each week
- A written voice and approval policy for replies
- Decisions on complaints, disputes, sensitive cases
Your business stays the owner. BSS works with manager access only, and that access is removed if you leave. The Google profile itself is free — your fee pays BSS to manage it. Google publishes its own tips for working with third-party profile managers — we encourage you to read them. Weekly posts come from content you provide and approve; a week with no approved content is skipped, and skipped weeks don't accumulate or roll over. Suspensions, reinstatements, ownership disputes, complex or disputed duplicate cleanup, moves, mergers, and migrations are quoted separately. Standard platform-detected duplicate review is included only with Listings Sync. Google controls what publishes and how you rank.
