Frequently asked questions about Google Maps marketing
Do you charge for Google Maps marketing on a fixed-project, hourly or monthly retainer basis?
I don't charge by the hour. My Google Maps marketing services come in two fixed-price options: a one-off audit for £500, or a monthly retainer at £1,500 per month.
The audit is a fixed project with a clear end result, so you know the full cost up front. The retainer is a monthly fee for ongoing, hands-on work. If you're not sure which suits you, get in touch and I'll recommend one.
How much time and resources will you need from our team during the research phase?
Very little. Before I start, I'll send you a briefing form with questions about your business, the areas you serve, your Google Business Profile and your main local competitors. Once you've filled that in, I'll take care of the research and only come back to you if I need access to something or have a question.
How long will it take to see results from Google Maps marketing?
How long is a piece of string? It depends on the campaign, and it can take anywhere from a few days to several months. Some changes, such as fixing your Business Profile categories or adding missing services, can make a difference within days. Others, such as building up reviews and climbing the map pack in competitive areas, take months.
Once I've reviewed your Business Profile and local competition, I'll give you a realistic timeline for your situation.
What's the difference between the Google Maps marketing audit and the monthly retainer?
With the audit, I'll present you with an audit document full of recommendations, which you or your team can then put into action.
The audit covers:
- Google Business Profile audit
- Map pack ranking check for your key searches
- Competitor profile comparison
- Category, services and attributes review
With the retainer, I'm hands-on. I'll help with the day-to-day management of your Google Maps marketing and we'll have regular check-ins to review progress.
On top of everything in the audit, the retainer includes:
- Weekly Google Posts written and published
- Photo uploads and profile updates
- Review request strategy and replies
- Monthly local ranking grid report
