For a local business, discovery often begins with a practical question: Where can I find this service? Is the shop open? Does this business offer what I need? Your online presence should help people answer those questions with confidence.
Google My Business is now called Google Business Profile. Our GMB SEO services combine profile optimisation with supporting local website work and ongoing care. We start by understanding your business, the customers you serve and the locations that matter.
Born Digital Studio brings search, content and website expertise into one coordinated plan. Whether you need help with an existing profile, a new eligible location or a more organised management routine, we agree the priorities and deliverables before work begins.

Before we begin
Your GMB SEO questions, answered.
What is GMB SEO?
GMB SEO is a common term for optimising Google Business Profile, formerly Google My Business, and supporting a business's local search presence. Our service can include profile information, content, review support, local website improvements and ongoing management.
How is Google Business Profile SEO different from website SEO?
Profile work focuses on your business information and presence on Google Search and Maps. Website SEO focuses on the pages people visit to explore your services. The work can be planned together, with profile management and website changes clearly scoped.
Can every business have a Google Business Profile?
Eligibility generally requires a location customers can visit or a business that travels to customers. An online-only business is generally ineligible. Service-area businesses that do not receive customers at their address should hide it. We review your actual setup before recommending a profile.
Can you guarantee a top Google Maps position, and how long does it take?
No fixed position or deadline can be guaranteed. Google's local results consider relevance, distance and prominence. We agree milestones for the work, then review progress against your starting point and market. Paying for profile management does not buy a better organic ranking.
Can you get us reviews or remove negative feedback?
We can help request honest reviews and prepare replies. We do not buy reviews or offer rewards for them. A review can be reported if it appears to violate Google's policies, but Google decides whether to remove it; a negative opinion alone is not grounds for removal.
Will we keep ownership of our profile?
Yes. Our proposed workflow keeps your business in control of the profile. You grant the agreed management access, and changes follow an approval process. We do not need your personal password. Verification may require the business owner's direct involvement.
What will your reports measure?
We review available profile views, search terms, website clicks, call-button clicks and direction requests, where applicable. These interactions are not automatically completed calls, visits or sales. Profile reporting may include organic and advertising activity, so we explain the available context and limitations.
What is included in the cost of GMB SEO services?
The scope depends on the number of locations, existing issues, content requirements and management frequency. We set out agency deliverables and fees in the proposal. Any advertising spend, photography or additional website development should be agreed separately.
