Your Google Business Profile
is your storefront. We run it like one.
For local service businesses, your Google Business Profile generates more leads than your website does. Vibe22 manages GBPs end-to-end for clients across Canada — posts, photos, hours, services, Q&A, review responses, and the local-pack ranking work that actually moves you up the map.

What We Optimize
Everything that affects your local-pack ranking.
- Profile Optimization
Categories, services, attributes, service areas, business description — every field optimized for the keywords your customers actually search.
- GBP Posts
Weekly posts on offers, updates, events, and products. Active profiles outrank dormant ones in the local pack — and we keep yours active.
- Photos & Videos
Regular uploads of work, team, and location photos. Geo-tagged, properly named, and added on a schedule that signals an active business.
- Hours & Services
Holiday hours, special hours, service updates, pricing — kept current across all your locations. Inaccurate hours kill conversions.
- Q&A and Reviews
Seeded Q&A with the questions your customers actually ask. Professional review responses on every review — positive and negative.
- Review Generation
A system that turns satisfied customers into 5-star reviews. More reviews + better ratings = higher local-pack rank. Real math.
- Ranking Reports
Monthly geo-grid reports showing exactly where you rank in the local pack across your service area. No guessing.
- Citations & NAP
Consistent business name, address, and phone across the directories Google checks. The unsexy work that actually moves rankings.
- Suspension Recovery
If your profile gets suspended or merged, we handle the reinstatement process directly with Google. Most agencies won't touch this.
How We Work
Built to manage profiles at agency scale.
- 1. Centralized management
Every client GBP is managed from a single Vibe22 agency account. Owner-level access for posts and updates, manager access for the day-to-day. You stay the owner; we do the work.
- 2. Programmatic updates
We use the Google Business Profile API to push posts, photos, hours changes, and service updates across every client profile on a schedule. What takes other agencies a full day takes us minutes.
- 3. Monthly reporting
Geo-grid rank tracking, profile views, search queries, calls, direction requests, and website clicks — all in a clean monthly report. You see exactly what your GBP is doing for your business.

What is a Google Business Profile and why does it matter?
A Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the listing that appears in Google Maps and the local pack — the map block at the top of search results. For local service businesses, it's often the first thing a potential customer sees. An optimized profile with strong reviews, accurate info, and regular activity ranks higher and generates more calls.
How long does it take to rank in the Google local pack?
It depends on your market and how competitive it is. In less competitive areas, a well-optimized profile can move into the local pack within 4–8 weeks. In competitive markets like Toronto, it takes longer and requires consistent work — posts, reviews, citations, and on-site signals all compound over time.
Do I lose access to my GBP if I stop working with you?
No. You are always the owner of your Google Business Profile. We work as managers — we can post, respond to reviews, and update info, but we can't remove your ownership or lock you out. If you end the engagement, we remove our manager access and the profile stays yours.
Can you help if my GBP was suspended?
Yes. GBP suspension is one of the more painful things that can happen to a local business — you disappear from Google Maps completely. We handle the reinstatement process, which involves video verification or identity verification depending on Google's requirements. Most agencies won't touch suspension cases; we do.
Is GBP management included in the SEO retainer?
Yes. GBP management is included in our Starter, Growth, and Scale retainers. It's also available as a standalone service. See our pricing page for what's included at each level.
