Google Business Profile Management / Designed By Dane
Your Google profile should reflect the business you actually run today.
Your hours, services, photos, reviews, business information, and updates all shape what someone sees when they find your business on Google.
I help small businesses keep that information current and manage the ongoing profile work they would rather not handle themselves.
Google still shows the old ones.
The profile never got updated.
They're still sitting on your phone.
But nobody is consistently staying on top of them.
A phone number, link, service, description, or other detail needs attention.
Even though the business has changed.
Small updates become important when they're the information a customer is using to decide whether to contact you.
A Google Business Profile has a lot of moving parts. Review management is one part of it — but the profile itself needs regular, practical attention to keep up with the business.
Keep public-facing information accurate and current.
Update regular and special hours where appropriate.
Keep the profile aligned with the services the business actually provides.
Add or update supplied business imagery where appropriate.
Publish appropriate business updates where supported by the plan and scope.
Help the business stay organized around customer reviews and responses.
Keep the profile from becoming stale as the business changes.
Customer reviews give prospective customers useful context about the business. Staying on top of them also helps the business remain engaged with what customers are saying publicly.
Review management is a real part of Google Business Profile Management — the part most people think about first. It can include keeping track of incoming reviews, support around appropriate responses, maintaining a professional public presence, and noticing recurring customer feedback that might be worth the business's attention.
What it doesn't include is controlling what customers say. I can't promise a certain number of reviews, a certain review count, or that reviews will lead to a specific ranking outcome. I don't generate fake or paid reviews, and I don't gate or manipulate reviews.
Review Management Within the Service
If the website says you offer a service but the Google profile doesn't, or Google shows old information that the website has already corrected, the customer is left to figure out which version is current.
Your website and Google profile should generally line up around your business name, services, hours, contact information, website URL, service and location context, and the expectations a customer should walk in with.
The goal is consistency, not keyword stuffing.
What Should Stay Aligned
Google search and local visibility depend on many factors outside my control. Keeping the profile accurate and current is worthwhile on its own — but it isn't the same as controlling rankings.
Google Business Profile Management does not guarantee:
#1 rankings
Top-three Map Pack placement
A specific number of views
A specific number of calls
A specific number of website visits
A specific number of reviews
Increased revenue
Increased leads
Guaranteed profile verification
Guaranteed suspension reinstatement
What I can control is keeping the profile accurate, current, organized, and professionally managed within the scope of the plan.
You know your profile needs attention but rarely log into it.
Business information changes often enough that it needs maintaining.
Reviews come in and you want a more consistent process around them.
You have new photos, services, or updates that aren't making it onto the profile.
You'd rather send the information to someone than keep learning another platform.
You want the profile and website to stay more consistent.
If your profile rarely changes and you're comfortable managing it yourself, you may not need a monthly plan.
Starter
$75/month
Light profile upkeep
Best for businesses that need basic ongoing attention and someone helping keep the profile current.
Plus
$125/month
More active profile management
For businesses expecting more regular updates, review attention, photos or posts, or profile changes.
Growth
$250/month
More hands-on Google presence management
For businesses that need the profile worked on more actively as part of their ongoing local presence. This may include deeper or more frequent profile upkeep within the verified scope.
The difference between plans is the amount and frequency of ongoing profile work.
If you're not sure which level makes sense, tell me what you're currently trying to manage and I'll recommend the smallest plan that fits.
If you don't need ongoing Google Business Profile Management, tell me what is wrong or outdated. If it makes sense as a defined one-time project, I can quote the work separately.
01 / Tell Me What's Going On
Share the business and profile situation.
02 / I Review the Profile
Determine what is currently there and what needs attention.
03 / We Confirm the Scope
Monthly plan or clearly defined work.
04 / I Handle the Updates
Manage the supported profile work.
05 / The Profile Keeps Up
Continue managing changes according to plan and scope.
I primarily manage profile and website requests through email so there's a written record of what changed, what was requested, and what still needs attention.
Management is an ongoing service relationship — it doesn't change who the profile belongs to.
The Google Business Profile belongs to the business.
Designed By Dane is given appropriate management access.
The service should not require you to permanently surrender control.
Ongoing management is a service relationship, not a form of ownership.
I'm there to manage the profile — not make the business dependent on me to keep it.
Website Management
Covers ongoing work on the website.
Updates, content changes, improvements, and supported page or site work that keeps your website current as the business changes.
Google Business Profile Management
Covers the Google profile.
Business information, hours, services, photos, posts, and reviews that keep your public Google presence current.
You can use neither, one, or both — depending on what you actually need. They're separate services with separate pricing, and you're never required to bundle them.
It's ongoing help keeping your public-facing Google profile current and managed — so your business information, hours, services, photos, posts, and reviews stay accurate as things change.
No. Review management is one part of the broader service. Google Business Profile Management also includes keeping business information, hours, services, photos, posts, and the overall profile current.
Starter is $75/month, Plus is $125/month, and Growth is $250/month. You can see full details on the pricing page.
No. Google search and local visibility depend on many factors outside my control. I can manage the profile and keep it accurate and current, but I can't promise a specific ranking outcome.
No. Map Pack placement isn't something I can guarantee — it depends on factors outside my control.
Review attention is part of the service depending on the plan and scope — including keeping track of incoming reviews and appropriate response support. I don't promise unlimited responses or control over what customers say.
Yes — keeping business information and hours accurate is a core part of the service, within the plan and scope we agree on.
Depending on the plan and scope, I can add or update supplied business imagery and publish appropriate business updates. This is handled case-by-case rather than as an unlimited allowance.
No. Website Management and Google Business Profile Management are separate services. You can use one, both, or neither. See Website Management if you want to compare them.
No. Website Design and Google Business Profile Management are separate services. There's no requirement to use one because you used the other.
Yes, assuming the business can provide the appropriate profile access and the requested work falls within my supported scope.
Suspension, verification, and appeal situations can be more complicated than normal profile management. Tell me what's happening and I'll let you know whether it's something I can realistically assist with.
Management terms are confirmed before service begins so you'll know exactly how the arrangement works.
Tell me what business you have, what is currently happening with the profile, and what keeps getting neglected.
I'll tell you whether ongoing management makes sense and which level I think fits — including if I think you don't need a monthly plan.
