Questions before you compare

Is ProfileBoost the same as The HOTH?
No. ProfileBoost is narrower and fixed-scope: it optimizes the Google Business Profile signals a local owner can control. Broader SEO, content, link, and ad work can still call for an agency.
Does ProfileBoost include citation cleanup?
Yes. Citation and NAP cleanup are included in the flat $399 Google Business Profile optimization.
Does ProfileBoost guarantee map-pack rankings?
No. ProfileBoost cleans up the profile signals Google reads, but Google controls rankings and considers competition, location, relevance, distance, and prominence.
