How Does Google Business Profile Management Work?
Profile Audit
We review every part of your Google Business Profile: categories, services, hours, photos, reviews, posts and how your profile compares with competitors ranking around you on Google Maps.
Verification and Access
If your profile isn’t claimed or verified yet, we handle the process with you. Every profile stays in your name, with Apex added as a manager.
Category and Service Optimization
We choose the primary and secondary categories that match how customers search, then add your services, attributes and service areas so Google knows exactly what you offer and where.
Photo Refresh
We replace outdated or low-quality images with current photos of your work, team and location, and keep adding new ones every month.
Weekly Posting
Each week we publish a post designed in your brand’s style, featuring a service, project, offer or update, so your profile stays active and gives customers a reason to choose you.
Profile Monitoring
Anyone can suggest edits to a Google profile. We watch for changes to your hours, phone number, address or categories and correct anything inaccurate quickly.
