Open your own listing the way a customer does. No services listed, so Google cannot match you to 'water heater replacement near me.' Photos from the year you opened. The last post, if there ever was one, old enough to be in school. Your competitor across town has a living profile — services, fresh photos, reviews answered — and in the map, alive beats better.
Home services live and die on the emergency search: something broke, the homeowner searches, three listings appear, one gets the call. A ghost profile does not lose that click on quality. It loses on evidence — nothing on the listing proves you still exist.
What leaving it costs
The cost test is brutal and simple: one emergency job a month, lost to a listing that looked abandoned, costs more than this rescue several times over. The fix is two hours of disciplined work against a checklist — which is why it carries a fixed price instead of an hourly meter.
after-hours inquiries × $ per booked job = $ gone
The fix: Google Profile Rescue
$299 one-time
What is included
- Full profile rebuild: categories, services, hours, attributes, photos, Q&A — checked against what a complete profile carries
- Wrong and stale information removed; services you no longer offer stop being sold by your own listing
- A before/after record, so you can see exactly what changed
- The monthly shortlist: what a managed profile does next, so the rescue does not decay
What is not included
- No ranking promises — a complete profile is the foundation, not a guarantee
- Ongoing management is not included — that is Managed Google Presence (from $129/mo)
- We work in the profile you own; ownership disputes with old agencies or ex-employees are a findings item, not silent scope
Micro Credit: 100% of this fee is credited toward a Presence Foundation install or the flagship setup if you sign within 90 days. One correction round (facts, names, numbers) is included.
Our defect taxonomy comes from reading profiles professionally — the same sweep discipline that enriched 142 local businesses in days for our own prospecting, field by field. What a complete profile contains, versus what yours shows, is the deliverable.
The free presence audit
We check your site, your Google profile, your review state, and how fast a test inquiry gets answered — and send you the three findings that matter. Yours to keep, whoever fixes them.
