Our agency manages your Google Business Profile in all major cities across Spain. From Madrid and Barcelona to Malaga, Sevilla, Valencia, and the entire Costa del Sol. Local optimization tailored to each market to maximize your visibility on Google Maps.
A Google Business Profile, formerly known as Google My Business, is a free tool that allows businesses to manage their online presence on Google Search and Google Maps. It's like your digital business card: it displays your name, address, phone number, hours, photos, customer reviews, and much more.
When someone searches 'hair salon near me' or 'plumber in Valencia', Google shows relevant business profiles with all this information. If you don't have an optimized listing, you're losing customers who are searching for exactly what you offer.
It's an essential tool for any local business that wants to attract customers in their area of influence.
A Google Business Profile agency is a company specialized in creating, optimizing, and managing business profiles on Google. We handle everything needed to make your business stand out on Google Maps and in local searches.
Our services include: listing creation and verification, complete profile optimization (categories, description, attributes, photos), review management, regular content publishing, suspension resolution, and strategies to outrank your competition in local rankings.
Hiring a specialized agency saves you time, avoids costly mistakes (like suspensions), and maximizes your visibility to attract more customers.
Creating a Google Business Profile listing requires compliance with Google's guidelines and terms. You must provide accurate information: business name, address, phone number, business category, website, and quality photos. Google then requests verification, typically by postal mail (a PIN code sent to your address) or sometimes by phone or email.
Our agency guides you through every step: we properly prepare your information, select the most relevant categories, and manage the verification process to ensure your Google Business Profile is approved quickly and correctly.
A suspension typically occurs when Google detects an inconsistency (incomplete address, fake number, incorrect category) or a violation of their Google policies.
It can also happen if the business is considered a 'service-area business' (one that travels to customers) without a valid physical address.
In this case, it's essential to analyze the exact reason for the suspension. Our agency handles the diagnosis and reactivation process.
We provide the necessary documentation (invoices, business registration, proof of address) and make the case to Google to unlock your listing. Without experience, a suspension can last months, while with professional guidance, the resolution time is significantly reduced.
Generally, creating a Google Business Profile only takes a few minutes, and verification is usually completed the same day in most cases.
However, depending on the location or type of business, Google may request additional verification such as video verification or sending a postal code by mail, which can extend the process by 1 to 2 weeks.
With our agency, we carefully prepare your application from the start to avoid rejections and suspensions. This significantly reduces timelines and maximizes your chances of fast verification.
The final duration mainly depends on the accuracy of the information provided and the type of verification Google proposes for your business.
Promoting a Google Business Profile listing is done through Google Ads. Specifically, this allows you to highlight your business profile directly in search results and on Google Maps, ahead of your competitors.
So when customers search for your services or products, your listing appears at the top with a 'Sponsored' label.
Our agency manages the setup of Google Ads campaigns linked to your Google Business Profile: selecting the right keywords, geographic targeting (by city or neighborhood), budget configuration, and performance tracking.
The advantage is that you can immediately capture calls, direction requests, and visits to your website.
By simultaneously optimizing your listing and your campaigns, we create a true synergy: your organic presence is strengthened, and advertising allows you to accelerate visibility to generate more customers faster.
Absolutely! Our Google Business Profile and local SEO experts first analyze your competitors' strategy: category selection, number and quality of reviews, photo optimization, keywords used on their website, etc.
Then, we implement a tailored action plan to improve your visibility: complete optimization of your Google Business Profile, review generation, regular content, and natural positioning of your listing.
However, it's important to understand that there's no miracle solution in just a few days.
Outranking your competitors sometimes requires regular follow-up over several months—the time needed for Google to take optimizations into account and for your presence to gain credibility. With continuous support, you can not only catch up to your competitors but surpass them sustainably.
It often happens that a Google Business Profile has already been created by a former employee, a vendor, or automatically by Google using information found online.
In this case, you can request ownership transfer. The process involves clicking 'Claim this business' directly from Google Maps or Google Search. Google will then prompt you to request access from the current owner.
The current owner has 3 to 7 days to respond. If you don't get a response, you can follow the steps indicated by Google (proof of address, invoices, legal documents) to recover ownership of your listing.
Our agency can guide you through this process: we prepare the necessary documentation and follow up with Google so you can quickly regain complete management of your Google Business Profile.
Yes, of course. We help local businesses promote their Google Business Profile listings through sponsored campaigns. This allows your business to appear at the very top of Google Maps results, with more visibility than your direct competitors.
When a user searches 'Italian restaurant Madrid', your profile can stand out, accompanied by call-to-action buttons like 'Call' or 'Get directions'.
Additionally, we also optimize your Google Business Profile: we add attractive photos, manage customer reviews, and regularly update hours and services. This combined work (optimization + advertising) significantly boosts your credibility and attracts more potential customers directly to your business.
Yes, our agency can manage multiple Google Business Profiles simultaneously, whether for multi-location businesses (multiple agencies, stores, showrooms, restaurants, etc.) or franchise networks.
Centralized management ensures information consistency (name, address, phone, hours, categories), as well as publishing content and responding to customer reviews uniformly across all your listings.
Each location is worked on individually (photos, hours, customer reviews) but remains linked to your main brand to strengthen credibility. Thanks to our support, your points of sale or branches appear correctly in each target city, with reliable and optimized information.
Google Business Profile and SEO are two complementary strategies for increasing your online visibility, but they work differently.
Your Google Business Profile allows you to appear on Google Maps and in local results when someone searches for a business near their location. It's ideal for attracting nearby customers searching for 'hair salon near me' or 'plumber in Valencia'.
SEO (search engine optimization), on the other hand, works on positioning your website in Google's organic results. It allows you to capture customers searching for broader information about your services, comparisons, or specialized content.
The ideal approach is to combine both strategies: a well-optimized Google Business Profile to capture local customers, and a solid SEO strategy to dominate search results at a national level. Our agency offers both services to maximize your online presence and generate more qualified leads.
