What does Google Business Profile setup cost?
$200 for the profile created or claimed and filled in properly, once.
The profile itself is free from Google, and we would rather say that on the page than have you discover it afterwards. What you are paying for is the setup most owners start and abandon halfway: categories, services, hours, service area, a description that reads like a business, ten photos, the first three posts, and someone on the phone with you through verification.
What people ask
- Why pay for something free? For the same reason people pay to have a form filled in correctly once. Half-finished profiles with the wrong hours are the normal state of things, and the wrong hours cost you the call.
- How long does verification take? Google's timing, not ours. The setup work is three to five business days; the verification wait sits on top and nobody can shorten it.
- Do you need my Google login? No. The profile is created or claimed in your account and stays yours.
- Is it a subscription? No. It is one fee for the setup, and you are given a one-page routine for asking customers for reviews afterwards so the profile keeps working without us.
What the price includes
- Profile created or claimed, and the verification walked through with you
- Categories, services, hours, service area and description filled in properly
- Ten photos uploaded, and your first three posts
- A one-page routine for asking customers for reviews
Turnaround: 3-5 business days, plus Google's own verification wait
The profile itself is free from Google. You are paying for the setup work, and Google's verification timing is theirs, not ours.
What this costs elsewhere
The going rate we measured for this work is $250. Ours is $200, so you keep $50. Every price on this site is published rather than quoted after a discovery call, and it is the same number for everybody.
