Description

97% of people search online before making a local purchase.

And when they do, the first thing they see isn’t your website—it’s your Google Business Profile.

Whether you're a local service business, a digital agency helping clients, or just trying to stand out on search, Google Business is your secret weapon for trust, visibility, and conversions—without running ads.

But most profiles? They’re half-baked.

This course shows you exactly how to turn your Google Business Profile into a lead magnet. From claiming your listing to automating your updates and ranking on Google Maps, this is the playbook I use to grow local visibility fast—and help clients do the same.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

  • Set Up and Optimize From Day One:
    Claim, verify, and structure your profile for maximum visibility—so Google trusts your business and ranks you higher.

  • Local SEO Fundamentals (That Actually Matter):
    Choose the right categories, attributes, and service areas to ensure you show up for the right searches—right when people are ready to buy.

  • Photo, Video, and Post Optimization:
    Use media to convert searchers into customers. Get walkthroughs on what to post, when, and how often.

  • Review Strategy for Trust and Ranking:
    Get more 5-star reviews (without sounding desperate), respond professionally, and build a wall of social proof that sells for you.

  • Ranking on Google Maps:
    Set up your pin, define your service areas, and follow our local SEO checklist to appear when it counts—at the top of the map.

  • Track Performance and Iterate:
    Use GMB Insights to track profile visits, calls, and direction requests—and learn how to improve over time with real data.

  • Automate with AI and Tools Like OneUp:
    Post to multiple locations, schedule updates, and keep your profile active on autopilot—without lifting a finger each week.

  • Advanced Growth and Monetization:
    Use tools like SEMrush to identify ranking gaps, manage multiple locations, or even offer GMB optimization as a service.
