To fully leverage your online presence, it’s essential to go beyond website optimisation for search engine visibility. For multi-location businesses seeking to drive foot traffic to their physical stores and achieve commercial success, prioritising Google Business Profile (GBP, formerly known as Google My Business) and aligning it with local landing pages is crucial.
To illustrate the impact of these complementary optimisation strategies, take a glance at the comparative graphs below:

To streamline the management of Local Search, many multi-location businesses rely on management services and platforms. These platforms provide advanced features for efficiently managing Google Business Profiles along with over 50 other directories, both relevant and less relevant, often accompanied by significant costs.
Manually adding business citations involves listing your business information on various directories and websites one by one, which can be time-consuming and labour-intensive. Each citation needs to be carefully entered and monitored for accuracy, often requiring repetitive effort. With GMBapi you can automate this process as a paid additional service. GMBapi streamlines citation management by handling the creation of citations across numerous platforms for you. This saves time and ensures consistency and accuracy across all your listings, allowing you to focus more on growing your business while leaving the tedious work to us.
What Does Good Google Business Profile Management Look Like?
A well-managed Google Business Profile is key to your brand’s online visibility, attracting local customers, and driving revenue growth. But what does effective GBP management involve? Keeping a close eye on your GBP can help you maintain and protect your online reputation alongside pointing out issues that your customers may be facing. Here’s a breakdown of our approach to ensuring your profile not only shines but performs at its best:
1. Tell Us About Your Brand
2. We Perform a Thorough Audit of Your Listing
Before starting actively providing you with our GBP management service we need to conduct a local SEO audit of your existing profiles, identifying areas for improvement and ensuring your information is accurate and up-to-date. We tend to compare GBP with your website and source of truth, and potentially some of the more important third-party networks.
3. We Create an Action Plan
Following the audit, your dedicated account manager will craft a custom action plan that outlines the steps we’ll take to enhance the optimisation of your listing. This detailed plan addresses any gaps and highlights opportunities to maximise your profile’s potential. Once you’ve reviewed and approved the plan, we’ll move forward to the next phase—optimising your Google Business Profiles.
4. We Enhance and Optimise Your Google Business Profiles
In this stage, we start to actively manage your Google locations. Your account manager will work to implement the necessary changes and updates to fully optimise your Google Business Profiles. When they’re done, they will update your listing’s checklist to show everything that’s been done.
5. You Start Seeing Higher Rankings, More Traffic, Calls, and Revenue!
With your Google Business Profiles fully optimised, it’s time to focus on driving visibility and engagement. Your account manager will take care of ongoing promotion, including publishing weekly posts, managing Q&A, handling reviews, reporting spam, and continuously monitoring your profile. This ensures your business remains active and visible, attracting more traffic, calls, and new customers.
You can expect to see noticeable results within 1-2 months as your profile gains traction. While your profile manager works diligently behind the scenes, you’ll have the time to prepare for the influx of new opportunities and customers heading your way.
Google Business Profile Management & Verification Service
Getting your business verified on Google is crucial to visibility on Google Search and Maps. If you have ten or more locations, GBP’s bulk verification can make things a lot easier by letting you verify multiple locations at once. To qualify, all locations must belong to the same brand and meet Google’s quality guidelines. The process involves setting up your Google Business account, grouping your locations, and sending in your request, which usually takes eight to twelve weeks.
GMBapi is here to help with an in-house verification specialist, available as an additional paid service to our management package, to guide you through bulk verification and make sure everything goes smoothly.

What are the main benefits of a GBP management tool?
Google Business Profile management software brings several valuable benefits to the table. First and foremost, it allows you to oversee all your business profiles from a single, user-friendly dashboard. This centralised approach makes it easy to keep track of reviews, identify any missing information for specific locations, and ensure everything is up to date. You’ll also have access to a simple “health score” that provides a quick snapshot of how well your profiles are performing, helping you pinpoint areas that may need attention.
In addition, GMBapi enables you to post updates and content across multiple locations through one interface, which can save you significant time and effort. While many other platforms offer similar features, they often charge extra for this capability. With GMBapi you get this functionality included, making it a cost-effective solution.
Having a complete view of your listings allows you to better assess the impact, benefits, and costs of integrating third-party tools. This comprehensive perspective helps you make informed decisions about how to enhance your GBP strategy and optimise your online presence.
Performance Dashboard
Provides a comprehensive overview of key performance metrics, offering insights into the actions customers take when searching for your company, whether focusing on a single store, a group of locations, or all locations. You need to quickly identify problems, anomalies, missing pieces of local information, Google user updates or changes in year-on-year growth trends. Critically examine the different options. Our experience is that often there are so many options that the important stuff is hidden behind a lot of poorly designed UI, hence resulting in features not being used. Sometimes, less is more.

Brand Content Dashboard
Track the number of posts uploaded by your team, and gain insights into who shapes your brand identity by analysing the content and photos connected to your profiles. This can be done per location or centrally.

Customer Engagement & Reviews
Consolidates customer reviews and inquiries, facilitating seamless communication with your audience and enabling prompt feedback to enhance customer satisfaction. Manage your reviews at scale. Know when customers leave bad reviews and action that sentiment immediately before it impacts your local reputation and results.

Reputation Dashboard
This interactive map visualises the geographical performance of review scores. Review summaries, sentiment analysis and topical analysis are all included. This helps you quickly identify locations and regions that might need closer attention for reputation management, ultimately improving service levels and brand reputation across your organisation.
