Google Business Profile optimization
Done-for-you Google Business Profile optimization, fixed price, completed in 5 business days.
Two ways to go: a one-time cleanup for $399, or keep it current with monthly upkeep at $149/mo, posts, photos, and review prompts so the profile does not go stale after setup. Your call.
Optimize + Maintain
Monthly upkeep only if you want it - cancel any time.
One price. No subscription, no retainer. Your profile fully optimized in 5 business days.
You see every change we make, documented in a written completion summary.
What ChatGPT reads when a customer asks for a business near you: category, services, hours, location, and reviews. A thin or inconsistent profile gets skipped. See how a complete profile feeds AI answers.
Citation cleanup is included in the $399, not a separate line item. Whitespark sells listings cleanup as its own paid service and The HOTH lists citation cleanup as a standalone product. Here it's just one of the 11 signals we finish in 5 business days, at no extra charge.
You send one manager invite, we work through all 11 signals Google ranks, and you get a written summary of every change. No retainer, no password, no guesswork.
Backed by our 30-Day Improvement Guarantee: if your profile doesn't show measurable improvement, we keep optimizing at no extra cost or refund your setup fee.
We're early, so we're not going to show you stock testimonials or made-up before-and-afters. What we will show you is a written summary of every change we make to your profile, and the 30-Day Improvement Guarantee stands behind the work.
ProfileBoost optimizes your profile against Google's published best practices. Search ranking is determined by Google's algorithm and depends on many factors; we cannot and do not guarantee any specific ranking position.
- ●The right, most specific categories
- ●Complete services, hours & attributes
- ●Fresh photos and regular posts
- ●A steady flow of reviews
A complete, accurate profile is also what AI search tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI answers read when a customer asks for a business near them. The same 11 signals we fix are the facts those answers pull from. See how a complete profile feeds AI answers.
Want it kept current? Add monthly upkeep for $149/mo - posts, photos, and review prompts that keep the profile active. Or pay once and stop there. Your call.
Three ways to fix your profile. One that does it for you.
DIY software (BrightLocal, Whitespark)
You buy a subscription and operate the platform yourself. There is a dashboard to learn, and the posting, review chasing, and citation cleanup stay on your plate every month. Whitespark bills listing cleanup as a separate service on top of the subscription.
Compare service vs softwareLocal SEO agency (e.g. The HOTH)
Open-ended retainer, or a-la-carte add-ons like citation cleanup billed as separate line items, and you rarely see exactly what changed.
Compare with The HOTHProfileBoost
$399 fixed. Done in 5 business days. A written summary of every change. Manager-invite access you can revoke any time, never your password.
We optimize the 11 signals Google ranks
Google describes local ranking around relevance, distance, and prominence. A complete, active profile gives those systems clearer facts to read. We work through each signal methodically - see exactly how we do it.
Is your primary business category set to the most specific match for what you do?
Have you added all relevant secondary categories?
Are your services (or products) listed with descriptions?
How many recent, high-quality photos are on your profile?
Are your regular and holiday hours complete and accurate?
How many Google reviews do you have relative to local competitors?

Most owners pick Optimize + Maintain after the cleanup because posts go stale, new reviews need replies, and Q&A questions can pile up when nobody owns the monthly rhythm.
Why most owners keep the profile on maintenance
A profile left alone starts to look stale. Your last Google post gets old, new reviews sit without a reply, and the Q&A can fill with questions nobody answered. Optimize + Maintain handles the monthly rhythm for you: fresh Google posts, new photos, steady review prompts, Q&A monitoring, and a short summary of what changed. $399 setup, then $149/mo, cancel any time.

Monthly management
A profile doesn't stay optimized on its own.
Leave a profile alone and it starts to look stale: your last Google post gets old, new reviews sit without a reply, and the Q&A fills with questions you never answered. Optimize + Maintain keeps the profile current every month with fresh posts, new photos, steady review prompts, and Q&A monitoring, plus a short summary of what we did.
