Your new homepage for local & AI search.

For local service businesses in Dorset, your Google Business Profile now matters more than your website's homepage. The map pack handles most click-to-call and direction requests. Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity all read GBP signals when answering "best [service] in Bournemouth?" queries. A half-finished profile is leaving real money on the table.

Why GBP is the new homepage

Most local intent searches never reach your website. The map pack answers the question — name, rating, hours, photos, click-to-call — in 5 seconds. AI engines do the same: they cite the GBP, not the homepage. Your profile is your front door now, whether you've noticed or not.

What proper optimisation looks like

Correct primary and secondary categories, every attribute completed, services and products mapped, a weekly Google Post, fresh photos monthly, every Q&A answered, consistent NAP across UK directories, and a review-generation workflow that actually runs. Most profiles tick 3 of those boxes.

Reviews — words matter, not just stars

AI search engines read review text. A profile with 50 reviews mentioning "boiler repair Bournemouth" outranks one with 200 generic five-stars. We build review-request workflows, train you on response templates, and monitor for unfair reviews to dispute.

Suspensions and reinstatements

Suspended profile? We handle reinstatement appeals with full documentation — typically resolved within 7–14 days. Fixed one-off fee, no win-no-fee theatre.

Honest monthly reporting

Profile views, search queries, clicks, calls, direction requests, review volume — one dashboard, monthly, no inflated screenshots. You see exactly what GBP is doing for you.
