What the free report shows
See Exactly Where You Stand Against Nearby Competitors
Most profile "checkers" only confirm that your name and phone number exist, so almost everyone scores 100. Ours compares you with the businesses you actually compete with, in the places your customers actually search.
Your Local Visibility Score
A 0–100 score built from your map position, reviews, rating, review freshness, categories, photos and profile details. Most small businesses land between 40 and 70.
Your map position, block by block
We check where Google ranks you for your main category at 9 points around your location, about a mile apart. You'll see where you're in the top 3 and where you disappear.
You vs. your top 3 competitors
Side-by-side review counts, ratings, newest review, photos, categories and attributes, so you can see exactly why they're winning.
58/100Behind your top competitors
- Customers nearby can't find you on the map. Top 3 in only 2 of 9 nearby areas.
- Competitors have more reviews. The leader has 212. You have 63.
- Your reviews look stale. Newest review shown is 118 days old.

Why profiles don't get calls
Three Things Decide Who Gets the Click on Google Maps
Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and prominence. You can't move your building, but you can control most of the rest.
Relevance
Your primary and secondary categories, services and description tell Google which searches you match. One wrong category can hide you from the searches that matter most.
Prominence
Review count, rating and how recently customers reviewed you all signal trust, to Google and to the person deciding who to call.
Completeness
Hours, holiday hours, attributes, photos and a tracked website link answer customers' questions before they call a competitor.
What's included for $299

Local to Los Angeles
Google Business Profile Optimization in Los Angeles
Los Angeles is one of the most crowded local markets in the country. Dozens of businesses compete for the same Map Pack in every neighborhood, and a profile that ranks in Mid-Wilshire can disappear a few miles away in Culver City or Downtown. That's why our report checks your position block by block instead of from one spot.
Our team works from our office at 640 S San Vicente Blvd and has optimized and managed Google Business Profiles for Los Angeles businesses since January 2013, especially law firms and dental practices, along with healthcare and medical providers, financial services and many other industries. We also serve Santa Monica, Pasadena, Irvine and Orange County, and businesses nationwide.
Who we help most
- Storefronts that depend on walk-ins and calls
- Service-area businesses: plumbers, cleaners, movers, contractors
- Professional practices: attorneys, dentists, accountants, clinics

Honest expectations
Better Profile Quality. No Empty Ranking Promises.
No one can guarantee a top-3 spot on Google Maps, a number of calls or sales. Distance to the searcher and Google's own systems always play a part. What we guarantee is the work in your plan, done carefully and documented.
What success usually looks like: a complete and accurate profile, categories that match your services, fresher reviews, and better visibility in more of the areas around you over the following weeks.

FAQ
Google Business Profile Optimization Questions
How much does Google Business Profile optimization cost?
Our one-time Google Business Profile optimization is $299 per location. If you want us to keep it current, Plan B adds monthly management for $179/month, starting after a 30-day trial. Most agencies charge $300–$500 for setup and $300 or more per month, so we keep the price low by focusing on one service and skipping long contracts.
Is Google My Business the same as Google Business Profile?
Yes. Google renamed Google My Business to Google Business Profile in 2021. It's the same free listing that shows your business on Google Search and Google Maps, so Google My Business optimization and Google Business Profile optimization mean the same service.
What is Google Business Profile optimization?
It's the work of making your free Google listing as complete, accurate and relevant as possible. That covers categories, services, description, hours, attributes, photos, website link and review practices. Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and prominence. Optimization improves the relevance and prominence signals you control.
How long does it take?
Most profiles are optimized within about 5 business days after you give us Manager access and answer a few questions. Some changes need Google's review, which can take longer. Any firm deadline is confirmed in writing.
Will I keep ownership of my Google Business Profile?
Yes. You add Los Angeles SEO Inc as a Manager and stay the Primary Owner. You can remove our access at any time.
Can you guarantee a #1 ranking on Google Maps?
No, and you should be careful with anyone who does. Rankings depend on your distance to the searcher, competition and Google's systems. We guarantee the work described in your plan, and we show you exactly what changed.
What does Google Business Profile management include?
Plan B covers ongoing Google My Business management: monthly monitoring for unwanted edits, updates when your hours, services or offers change, Google Posts as agreed, review-response guidance and a monthly visibility report with your map-position grid.
Do I need monthly management?
Not always. Plan A fixes your profile once. Monthly management makes sense if competitors are active, you get regular reviews to answer, or your services, hours or offers change often.
What does the free report check?
It finds your listing, pulls your top 3 nearby competitors for your main category, and checks where you appear in Google's results across 9 points around your location. It then scores reviews, review freshness, rating, categories, photos, attributes and basic details. It uses public Google Maps data only.
Is the free score an official Google score?
No. It's an independent Los Angeles SEO Inc assessment based on public Google Maps data. Map positions are estimates and can differ from what a single phone shows.
Can you help a suspended, unverified or new profile?
We can review the situation and tell you what's needed. Reinstatement appeals and complex verification disputes aren't included in the $299 plan, so we'll quote those separately if they apply.
Do you work with service-area businesses and multiple locations?
Yes. Service-area businesses (plumbers, cleaners, contractors) are optimized without showing a street address. Pricing is per location. Call us for multi-location rates.
