Google Business Profile Management

For most independent UK restaurants, Google Business Profile drives more new customers than the website. We manage it like the asset it is — daily, not yearly.

Why GBP outperforms the website

For most UK independent restaurants we work with, Google Business Profile drives more inbound activity than the website. The user journey isn't:

Search → click website → read menu → call

It's:

Search → see profile in Maps → look at photos → read reviews → click "Call" or "Directions"

The website never loads. The profile is the storefront. Every photo on the profile, every review, every Q&A, every post is an asset doing work for you 24/7.

If you treat that asset like a thing you set up once two years ago, your competitor who treats it like a daily task will outrank you — even if their food is worse.

What weekly management actually looks like

Monday — a Google Post goes live. New dish, weekly offer, family event, festive menu — something specific, with a strong photo and a clear call-to-action ("Reserve a table" / "Order direct").

Tuesday — review responses go out for any reviews from the weekend.

Wednesday — Q&A monitoring; we proactively seed one new question if natural.

Thursday — photo upload; one to three new photos so the strip stays fresh.

Friday — quick scan for any negative reviews, attribute changes Google has rolled out, or new ranking signals to test.

It sounds like a lot. It is. It's also why almost no owner does it consistently — and why doing it consistently produces such an outsized ranking effect.

What we don't touch

We never delete or edit reviews. We never write fake ones. We never use software that auto-replies — every review reply is written by a human, in your voice, to that specific reviewer.

The shortcut agencies you've heard of usually don't survive a Google audit. We'd rather build a profile that ranks because it deserves to.

What's included

  • ✓Weekly Google Posts written, designed and scheduled
  • ✓Monthly photo upload (food, interior, exterior, team)
  • ✓Review responses (good, bad, neutral) within 24 hours

  • ✓Insights report monthly — calls, views, direction requests, search terms
  • ✓Quarterly photo shoot at your restaurant if needed

How it works

  1. Step 01
    Audit & rebuild

    We score your current profile against 30+ ranking signals and your top 5 local competitors. Then we rebuild — primary category, secondary categories, services, attributes, hours, photos, posts.

  2. Step 02
    Reviews & Q&A

    We set up an automated review request system using your POS or order receipts. We seed Q&A with the 8–12 questions customers actually ask. Both feed your local ranking.

  3. Step 03
    Weekly rhythm

    One post per week, monthly photo refresh, daily review monitoring, monthly insights review. This is the asset that does the most work for the least cost.

Common questions

Isn't this just a free Google product I can manage myself?+

It is, and you can. But "can" and "will" are different things. Most owners are too busy running the kitchen to log in weekly, post, refresh photos, reply to reviews within 24 hours, and answer questions from strangers. We do this so you don't have to forget to.

Will my ranking improve?+

We can't guarantee a specific position — Google's algorithm has many signals and changes regularly. What we can say is that in our experience, profiles that are actively maintained (weekly posts, photo refreshes, prompt review replies, accurate categories) tend to outperform neglected profiles in the same area. We'll flag honestly if your local market looks too competitive for the work to make sense.

What's the cost vs. just doing Local SEO?+

GBP management on its own is £300/month. Full Local SEO (which includes GBP plus citations, schema, on-site SEO, and link building) is £450/month. Most clients start with full Local SEO.

What if I get a bad review?+

We reply within 24 hours, professionally, in your tone of voice. We never argue. We invite the reviewer to email us privately to resolve. A real, calm response sometimes leads to the reviewer editing or removing the review themselves — but we don't promise a specific conversion rate.

Do you handle multiple locations?+

Yes — we discount per additional location. Each location needs its own profile and its own attention; we don't try to share content across locations as that triggers Google's duplicate content filters.
