Google Business Profile management.

We keep the profile buyers see when they search your company name accurate and current, for $235 a month.

Sound familiar?

Most manufacturers we talk to are dealing with at least one of these.

  1. 01

    Your profile was set up once and never touched

    Someone created it years ago. The category is too broad, the hours are missing, the services are empty, and the only photo is old. It is often the first thing Google shows when a buyer searches your company name.

    How we fix it. In the first month we rebuild every field: the category, services, description, hours, and photos. We score the profile on our Google Business Profile scorecard before and after, so you can see what changed.

    Your category says Manufacturer, and so does everyone else

    Google says local results are mainly based on relevance, distance, and popularity, and your category is how Google learns what your plant does. In Whitespark’s 2026 survey of 47 local search experts, the primary category ranked first of 187 factors for the map results.

    How we fix it. We choose the most specific primary category for the work you most want, add secondary categories for your other processes, and list each service the way buyers search for it, linked to its page on your website.

    metal finishing near me

    Category: Manufacturer

    Says what every plant in town is. Google has little reason to match it to this search.

    Category: Metal finisher

    Names the work the buyer searched for, with each process listed under services.

    The same search, with a broad category and with the specific one.

    Your phone number changed and nobody noticed

    Google lets anyone suggest an edit to your profile. A wrong phone number or an old website link sends a buyer somewhere else, and nobody at the plant finds out.

    How we fix it. Every month we check your phone number, hours, address, website link, and any suggested edits against your website, and correct anything that is wrong.

    Reviews sit there without a reply

    A buyer reads your reviews, and how you answer them, before deciding to call. A page of unanswered reviews, good or bad, looks like nobody is minding the shop.

    How we fix it. We draft a reply to every review in your voice and send it to you to approve. Google lists replying to reviews among its own ways to improve local ranking.

    Good parts and on time. Took a couple of calls to get the quote.

    Your reply

    Thank you for the order and for the note on quoting. Next time, the quote form on our website takes your drawing and sends it straight to the person who prices the job.

    We add that month’s photos of your floor and publish two posts on recent work and capabilities.

  3. 03

    We reply to reviews

    We draft a reply to every new review in your voice, and post it once you approve.

How it startsIn the first month we rebuild every field: the category, services, description, hours, and photos.
  • We choose the most specific primary category Google offers for the work you most want, plus secondary categories for your other processes.
  • Every process and service you sell is listed the way buyers search for it, and each one links to its page on your website.
  • We add photos of your machines, parts, team, and building through the year, so the profile shows a working plant.
  • Every review gets a reply written in your voice, which you approve before it goes up.
  • We publish two posts a month on recent work and capabilities, written for the buyer deciding whether to call.
  • Each month we check your phone number, hours, address, website link, and suggested edits, and correct anything that is wrong.
  • A monthly report shows the calls, website clicks, and direction requests the profile brought in.

A plant with two locations has two profiles, and each is $235 a month. Profile management is also included in our social media management at $1,900 a month, which adds three posts a week across LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X. Every price is on our pricing page.

Profiles we manage every month

We manage the Google Business Profiles for Phillips Light Industrial every month, alongside its social media and the five websites we built for the group.

A profile sends buyers to your website, so it does the most when the website answers their questions. Our manufacturing websites and manufacturing SEO take care of that side, and the Phillips Light Industrial case study shows the group’s sites. You can see everything else we do for manufacturers on our home page.

Questions manufacturers ask about Google Business Profiles

How much does Google Business Profile management cost?
It is $235 a month per profile, month to month. A plant with two locations has two profiles, and each is managed at the same price. Profile management is also included in our social media management at $1,900 a month, alongside LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X.
Does posting on a Google Business Profile help a manufacturer rank?
Posting probably helps very little with ranking. Google’s own list of ways to improve local ranking covers verification, complete information, review replies, and photos, and does not mention posts. In Whitespark’s 2026 survey of 47 local search experts, the frequency of posts ranked 148th of 187 factors for the map results, while the primary category ranked first. We write posts for the buyer who has already found you and is deciding whether to call.
Which category should a manufacturer choose?
Choose the most specific category Google offers for the work you most want to win, such as Metal finisher or Machine shop, instead of the broad Manufacturer. Add secondary categories for your other main processes, and list every service the way buyers search for it.
Do we need a profile if customers never visit the plant?
Yes. Your profile is often the first thing Google shows when someone searches your company name, with your phone number, hours, photos, and reviews. A buyer checking you out after a trade show or a referral sees it before they see your website.
Who owns the profile while you manage it?
Your company owns it. We set it up or take it over in your company’s name and work on it as a manager, so the profile, its reviews, and its history stay with you.
