Free Google profile & Maps audit for your Southbourne business

  • A score out of 100 for your Google Business Profile
  • Where you show on the map for 3 searches in Southbourne
  • Your reviews compared with the top 3 nearby
  • The 5 fixes that matter most, in order

No cost to ask, no obligation. We use your details only for this. Privacy

On the map, small details decide who gets the call.

A pin on the wrong side of the Grove, a category that's too broad, or winter hours still showing in July, and the person standing at Fisherman's Walk picks someone else. Trades who cover Southbourne, Tuckton and Christchurch need the right service area too. We get those details right and keep them right, and our local SEO for Southbourne does the same for your website. It's part of our Google profile and Maps service.

What your Google profile audit looks like

An example for a made-up business. Yours is about your business, your town and your competitors.

Good questions

Is the Google profile audit really free?

Yes. You get the full audit by email whether or not you work with us. If you'd like us to do the fixes and look after it every month, Local is £295 a month + £249 set-up.

How long does the audit take?

It takes you a minute to ask, and you'll have it by email within 3 working days.

I don't have a Google profile yet. Can I still ask?

Yes. We'll show you how your competitors look on the map and what yours should include, and we can set it up for you.

Is Google My Business the same as Google Business Profile?

Yes. Google renamed Google My Business to Google Business Profile. It's the free listing that shows your business on Google Maps and in search.

My shop isn't on the Grove. Does that matter?

Google shows the nearest good match first, so your pin needs to be exactly right, whether you're on Belle Vue Road, Seabourne Road or in Tuckton. Reviews and posts that mention where you are help too.

I'm a trade with no shop. Can I still show up in Southbourne?

Yes. We set your profile up as a service-area business, hiding your home address and listing the areas you cover, such as Southbourne, Tuckton, Boscombe and Christchurch.

Whose accounts do you use?

Yours. Your Google profile, social pages and ad accounts stay in your name, and we're added as a manager.

Let's make your business look its best.
