Get your Google listing working

When someone searches for a plumber or a sparky near them, Google shows a short list on a map. That list is where most of the work comes from. We set up or tune your profile so you show up on it, then hand it back. It is yours, no lock-in.

Tune what you already have

$99 + GST

You are verified, but it is not pulling its weight.

Full setup from scratch

$249 + GST

No profile yet, or starting over. Includes getting you verified.

What is included

  • Verification sorted, with us walking you through it
  • Categories, services and attributes set for what people actually search
  • Description, hours and service areas done properly
  • Your photos organised and uploaded
  • Common questions seeded and answered, first posts published

Prices are plus GST. Payment is half up front, half once your profile is live and verified.

How it works

  1. Tell us about your business

    Fill in the short form below. We get back to you within a working day.

  2. We get you verified

    If you do not have a profile yet, or it is not verified, we walk you through Google's verification step so you are not stuck.

  3. We set it up and tune it

    Categories, services, description, hours, service areas, photos, questions and first posts, done properly.

  4. We hand it back

    The profile is yours, with no lock-in. Payment is half up front and half once it is live and verified.

Which one is for you

No profile yet

You have never set one up, or you are starting a new business. Full setup is for you, and it includes getting you verified.

A profile that is not pulling its weight

You are verified, but it is missing categories, services, photos or a proper description. Tuning is for you.

A profile that has got messy

Old hours, the wrong categories, unanswered questions. We tidy it so it matches what you do now.

Why your profile matters

Google says local results are based mainly on three things: relevance, distance and prominence. Relevance is how closely your profile matches what someone searches for, and Google says complete, accurate details help. Prominence is how well known you are, which depends partly on your reviews and on links from other websites.

That is why a profile with the right categories, services, hours and photos, and a steady flow of recent reviews, tends to do better than one that was set up in a hurry and left. We cover the details in our guides on how AI search chooses local businesses and how to get more Google reviews.

What we need from you

Your business name and address (or the areas you cover), your opening hours, the services you offer, and a few photos of your work or your premises. We guide you through the verification step.

Common questions

How long does it take?+
Most of the time depends on Google's verification step, which we cannot speed up. We will tell you where things stand as we go.
Do I keep control of my profile?+
Yes. It is yours, we hand it back when it is done, and there is no lock-in or ongoing contract.
How do I know which option I need?+
If you are already verified, choose tuning. If you have no profile, or you want to start over, choose full setup. Not sure? Tell us in the form and we will point you to the right one.
Can you fix a suspended profile?+
A suspension is Google's decision and can be complicated. Tell us what happened in the form and we will say honestly whether we can help.
Are the prices plus GST?+
Yes. $99 for tuning and $249 for full setup, both plus GST.
Do I need Goodshout to use this?+
No. This service stands on its own. If you are new to Goodshout, we will include your first month of Pro free, with a code we send you.
