The short version: £250 one-off to set your profile up or sort it out, on top of any Zenlio Local plan, and included in Growth. If you want it kept busy every month, Momentum (from £395 a month) asks for a review after every job, answers every review and turns your work into posts.
What the £250 setup covers
When someone searches for your trade nearby, the map and the three businesses under it usually show up before any website. That's your Google Business Profile. It's free to have, and most of them are half-finished. Here's what we do.
Claimed and verified
From scratch, or untangling one that's already a mess. Set up as a service-area business if you work from home, so your address stays private.
The right categories
Primary and secondary categories chosen properly, so Google knows exactly what you do and who to show you to. Most profiles get this wrong.
Services and areas filled in
Every service you offer and every area you cover, written up for you, not left half-blank.
Photos done right
Your work, your van, your team. Real photos, laid out properly. Profiles with good photos get far more calls than empty ones.
Listed everywhere that counts
Your name, address and number matched across 10+ trusted directories, so Google trusts you're a real business.
Reviews made easy
A simple, ready-to-send link for asking happy customers for a review, so asking takes ten seconds.
Keeping it working: Momentum
A profile that's set up and then left alone slowly drops behind the ones that aren't. Momentum is the monthly bit most website plans stop short of. From £395 a month on any plan, three-month minimum.
A review after every job
The moment a job's finished, your customer gets a simple way to leave a review. The stars next to your name win the next job before they've even called.
Every review answered
Good or bad, every review gets a reply within 48 hours. Nobody trusts a business that never answers back.
Your work, turned into posts
At least four a month, built from your real jobs, not stock photos.
A proper monthly catch-up
Fifteen minutes on the phone each month to go through what's working and what's next.
On Growth, you also get two Google Business Profile posts a month and your listings kept accurate across the directories.

The honest bits
Google sets the rules, not us. Verification happens on Google's timetable, and sometimes they ask for a short video of you, your van or your premises.
We won't fake anything. No bought reviews, no keyword-stuffed business names, no virtual office addresses. They're the quickest way to get a profile suspended.
Reviews still have to come from customers. We make asking easy and we chase it every month, but the best review strategy is still doing a good job and asking straight away. Here's how to get more Google reviews if you'd rather do it yourself.

Areas we cover most: Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey, including Basingstoke, Fleet, Farnborough, Reading and Camberley.
Common questions
Can you set up my profile if I don't have a Zenlio website?
The £250 setup is sold alongside a Zenlio Local plan, because the profile and the website work best when they say the same thing. If you just want to know what's wrong with your current profile, the £395 audit covers it and tells you what to fix, whoever does the work.
Do I need a shop or office address?
No. If you work from home or go out to customers, your profile is set up as a service-area business. Your address stays hidden and you choose the areas you cover.
Can you get rid of a bad review?
Only if it breaks Google's rules, for example if it's fake or from someone who was never a customer. Otherwise the best thing you can do is reply well. We've written a guide to handling a bad review.
How long until I show up in the map pack?
It depends on how many competitors are near the person searching and how established they are. A properly set-up profile usually starts picking up more views within weeks, but nobody can honestly promise you a spot in the top three.
Someone else controls my profile. Can you help?
Yes. Old web designers and marketing companies often set profiles up under their own accounts. We'll help you get access back in your name. Our guide to getting your website back covers the steps.
