Customers choose from three names on a map.
Most people looking for a plumber, a dentist or a detailer don't scroll through websites. They search, glance at the map, compare three businesses by their stars, photos and distance, and call one. If you're not in that group of three, you are not on the shortlist, however good your work is.
The work isn't about chasing traffic. It's about being present, credible and easy to choose at the exact moment someone nearby needs you.

MKT-01 · ANATOMY OF A LOCAL SEARCH
A local search has three zones. Paid ads can sit on top. The map pack sits in the middle with names, stars, distance and a call button. Ordinary websites sit underneath, usually crowded out by directories and national brands.

Industry benchmark for local searches. Your category and suburb will differ; the direction rarely does.
Moving up the map is not cosmetic.
Clicks fall away fast as you move down the list. Getting from the bottom of the map results into the top three can change how often your phone rings, which is why Andrea focuses on the searches your customers actually use rather than every phrase at once.

See where you rank, street by street.
Your ranking isn't one number. Someone searching two streets away can see a different map from someone across town. A heatmap drops a grid of pins across your service area and checks where you appear at each one: green where you're in the top three, amber where you're close, red where customers can't see you.
We run one before Andrea starts and keep running them, so you can watch your area turn green instead of taking our word for it.

MKT-01 · MEET ANDREA
Andrea is the marketing AI agent we run for our clients. She works inside your Google Business Profile and the places Google checks to decide who to trust, every day, without you logging in.
| ITEM | WHAT ANDREA DOES |
|---|---|
| PROFILE OPTIMISATION | Every field, category, service, attribute and description set up properly and kept current. |
| REVIEWS | Asks your customers for reviews automatically, replies to every review in your voice, and flags fake or abusive ones to Google. |
| POSTS | Publishes regular Google posts about your services and suburbs, so Google keeps learning what you do and where. |
| PHOTOS | Optimises your real photos and adds them to your profile in a steady drip, not one dump. |
| CITATIONS | Lists your business consistently across the directories Google and AI tools cross-check. |
| SOCIAL POSTING | Shares your content to Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn so every channel tells the same story. |
| AI SEARCH | Keeps your details consistent so assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini can recommend you. |
| WEBSITE ALIGNMENT | Recommends the changes that make your website back up your profile instead of contradicting it. |
| REPORTING | Before-and-after heatmaps and a plain-English summary of what was done and what moved. |
Most owners let Andrea run without approving every post. You'll hear from us when we need something from you, like new photos of a finished job.
More five-star reviews, without the awkward ask.
Reviews are the tie-breaker on the map. Andrea sends the request at the right moment by text, email or a QR code at the counter, makes leaving a review a two-tap job, then thanks every reviewer by name.

Rankings build in months, not days.
MKT-01 · WHAT TO EXPECT
The first real movement on your priority searches, and the first before-and-after heatmap worth comparing.
A second lift is common as reviews, posts and photos compound. Priority searches move into the top three across more of your area.
The green spreads outward and more of your searches hold their place.
Rankings rise and dip along the way. Google tests results and competitors react. What matters is the direction over several months, and we show you that direction every month.
Typical timelines, not promises. Busy categories and big cities take longer.
What would a few more calls a week be worth?

MKT-01 · FASTER RESULTS
Maps builds for the long term. Ads bring customers in while it does. We manage your Google Ads and your Facebook and Instagram ads alongside Andrea, and every lead gets an instant follow-up from the Lead Reactor.
Andrea works best when one new customer is worth real money.
GREAT FIT
Home services and trades, health and dental, beauty and wellness, auto and detailing, and other businesses where people search nearby and one new customer is worth hundreds of dollars or more.
HARDER FIT
Businesses where buyers don't care where you are, very low-margin sales that need hundreds of extra transactions, or categories that are only busy a few months a year.

Google Maps and Google Business Profile questions, answered.
MKT-01 · FAQ
How much does Google Business Profile management cost?
Andrea is part of our custom engagements rather than a separate line item. We agree a fixed monthly fee after a free consultation, based on how many locations you have, how competitive your area is, and whether you want ads managed as well.
How long does it take to rank higher on Google Maps?
Most businesses see the first real movement around 90 days, with a stronger lift by six months. Busy categories and large cities take longer. We show you the progress each month with heatmaps.
What is a Google Maps heatmap?
A grid of searches run from points across your service area. Each point shows where your business appears for a given search, so you can see where customers find you and where they don't.
Do I need to approve every post?
No. Andrea writes about your business specifically and most owners let her run. You can review anything you like, and we'll ask when we need photos or details only you have.
Do you work with service-area businesses without a shopfront?
Yes. Andrea works with profiles that show an address and with profiles that serve an area without one.
Can you guarantee a number one ranking?
No one honestly can. Google decides rankings. What we control is doing the right work every day and showing you the results openly.
