## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is Google Business Profile optimization?

Google Business Profile optimization involves improving your business listing to rank higher in Google Maps and local search results. As a Google Business Profile optimization agency, we optimize your categories, photos, reviews, posts, and business information to maximize visibility and drive more calls, directions, and website visits.

### What makes a GBP listing rank higher?

Key ranking factors include relevance (accurate categories and keywords), distance (proximity to the searcher), and prominence (reviews, citations, and engagement). Wondering why you're not showing up on Google Maps? It's usually a combination of these factors that needs optimization.
