Your profile should be working every week

A managed Google Business Profile service built around consistent action

A Google Business Profile is often the first thing a local customer sees. But keeping every field accurate, publishing useful updates, responding to reviews and measuring local rankings soon becomes another job. We take that work off your list while keeping the strategy visible.

01

Optimisation, not a one-off tidy-up

We review your listing, categories, services, descriptions, images and local relevance signals, then keep improving the profile as your business and search landscape change.

02

Consistent content and review activity

Regular Google Business Profile posts and considered review responses help keep the listing useful, current and on-brand without asking your team to monitor it every day.

03

Clear visibility into performance

Geo-grid rank tracking, profile analytics and monthly reporting show where you are visible, where gaps remain and what we are working on next.

How it works

From access to ongoing management in four steps

1

Start with a conversation

We learn about your locations, priorities and current local visibility, then confirm whether the managed service is a good fit.

2

Share manager access safely

Add info@localhq.io as a manager on your Google Business Profile. You keep ownership and never need to send us your Google password.

3

Audit and build the plan

We review your profile, keyword coverage, competitors, reviews, content and ranking visibility, then organise the first improvements.

4

Optimise, publish and report

We carry out the monthly work, monitor performance and keep you informed through LocalHQ reporting.

Straightforward pricing

See exactly what makes up the monthly price

The LocalHQ software subscription and the hands-on management fee are shown separately. Together they make one clear managed-service total.

LocalHQ Single subscription£29per month, for one listing
+
Management fee£99per listing, per month
=
Total for one listing£128per month, including VAT

Managing two listings?

Use the LocalHQ Multiple subscription for £49 per month, then add the £99 management fee for each listing.

£49 Multiple subscription+2 × £99 management=£247/month total

That is a small software saving compared with paying for two separate Single subscriptions. No minimum term.

Who it is for

For businesses that need local visibility without more admin

The service works for owners who have one profile to get right, and for in-house teams, franchises and multi-location businesses that need a consistent process across several listings.

  • Local service businesses competing in Google Maps
  • Multi-location operators that need brand consistency
  • Franchisees who want location-level attention
  • Busy teams without an in-house GBP specialist
  • Businesses that want execution as well as software

Questions

Google Business Profile management FAQs

What does Google Business Profile management include?

LocalHQ’s managed service includes ongoing audits and optimisation, one to three weekly profile updates depending on your industry, responses to past and future reviews, geo-grid rank tracking, analytics, monthly reporting and 50 local citations every three months.

How much does the managed service cost?

The service costs £128 per month, including VAT, for each location. There is no minimum term.

Do I keep control of my Google Business Profile?

Yes. You keep ownership of your profile. You add info@localhq.io with manager access so we can carry out the agreed work, and you can remove that access if the service ends.

Is the service fully automated?

No. LocalHQ’s software helps us work efficiently, but the managed service includes human review and quality control. It is built for businesses that want both useful technology and accountable execution.

Can you manage several locations?

Yes. LocalHQ is built to support multiple listings. Each managed location requires its own service because the optimisation, content, reviews, tracking and reporting are location-specific.

Can I use LocalHQ without the managed service?

Yes. If you prefer to manage your own profiles, you can start a seven-day LocalHQ trial with no credit card required.

How quickly will my Google Maps rankings improve?

Local search results depend on competition, location, relevance, prominence and the condition of your profile, so no responsible provider can promise a fixed ranking or deadline. We focus on consistent, measurable work and show you what is changing through rank tracking and reporting.
