For most local service businesses this brings in more enquiries than the website and social put together. Most businesses set it up once and never touch it again.
Getting you verified ownership of the listing, including sorting out any duplicate or unclaimed listings that are quietly splitting your reviews across two profiles.
Then the full build: categories, every service listed, service areas mapped to the suburbs you actually work in, hours, attributes, and a description written for search.
Real photos of your work, your team, and your vehicles, uploaded and kept current. A listing with no recent photos looks like a business that shut down.
Plus a simple, repeatable way to ask every happy customer for a review. Reviews are one of the strongest local ranking signals you can actually influence.
Regular Google posts covering jobs, offers, and updates. An active profile outranks a dormant one, and this is the part almost everyone skips.

Depends on how competitive your category is and how far you are from the centre of the area you are targeting. Some categories move within weeks, others take months of consistent activity. Anyone quoting a fixed timeframe is making it up.
More than the businesses currently ranking above you, and preferably coming in steadily rather than twenty in one week. Recency counts. Forty reviews where the last was two years ago looks worse than fifteen from this month.
Yes, and it matters more. Service area businesses can hide the address and list the suburbs they cover instead. Getting those service areas set correctly is one of the highest impact changes we make.
Usually. It is the cheapest source of local enquiries available and it keeps working while paid campaigns are still finding their feet.
