Google Business Profile
Show up in the map pack where local calls come from.

Why It Matters
The map pack is where most local contractor calls come from.
When a homeowner in your area searches for a contractor, Google shows the map pack first — three local businesses with phone numbers and reviews right there in the search results. If you're not in those three, most people will call the ones who are.
Showing up there isn't about luck. It's about category accuracy, review volume, profile completeness, and proximity. We optimize all of those signals so you compete for the calls that come from local search.

FAQ
Questions contractors usually ask before starting.
These are the practical questions that usually come up after the audit and before deciding what to fix first.
What does Google Business Profile optimization include?
The work usually includes reviewing categories, services, business description, service areas, hours, attributes, photos, review activity, website alignment, and profile completeness. For contractors, the profile should make it clear what work the business does, where it works, and why a homeowner should trust it. Weak categories, thin services, old photos, and inconsistent service areas are common issues.
How long does it take to see movement in map results?
Some profile improvements can be visible quickly, but map-pack movement depends on competition, proximity, categories, reviews, service relevance, and overall local trust. A practical expectation is to review changes over several weeks, then keep improving photos, services, posts, review flow, and website alignment. There is no guaranteed map-pack position, but a cleaner profile gives the business a stronger base to compete.
Do you help contractors get more Google reviews?
Yes, the work can include a simple review request process that follows Google policy. The goal is steady review velocity from real customers, not review gating, incentives, or bursts that look unnatural. GroundSet can help tighten when to ask, how to ask, how to respond, and how to make reviews part of the normal job-close process.
Can you fix GBP verification or suspension problems?
GroundSet can review the profile for likely risk areas, clean up inconsistent information, and help prepare a more accurate setup. Google still controls verification, reinstatement, and policy decisions. The safest approach is to avoid fake addresses, keep categories accurate, match the website and profile details, and use service-area settings that reflect the real business.
