I have had this client for some while - so not sure why I waited to do this. I did a review re-reactivation and got her 65 new reviews. I also did local SEO to her Site... anyway, this stuff certainly works.

There's a ranking factor so boring nobody talks about it. So most businesses get it wrong. It's your Name, Address, and Phone number — NAP — and whether they match everywhere your business appears online. Here's why a search engine cares. Google cross-references your business across the web: your site, your Google profile, Yelp, Facebook, industry directories, the local chamber. When every mention agrees, confidence rises — this business is real, established, exactly where it says it is. Confidence feeds prominence. Prominence feeds rankings. Now the typical reality: "AAA Plumbing LLC" on the website. "AAA Plumbing & Drains" on the profile. Old office address on Yelp from two moves ago. A retired phone number on some directory from 2017. Each mismatch is a small vote of doubt. The fix is pure housekeeping. One afternoon: pick the exact legal format of your name, address, and phone. Search your business name and phone in quotes. List everywhere you appear. Correct the mismatches, kill the duplicates. No creativity required. Just discipline most competitors don't have — which is exactly why it works.

Your Google Business Profile is your real homepage. Most owners haven't opened it in months. Before anyone visits your website, they see your profile — the map card with your stars, photos, and hours. That card often decides the call. Here's a 10-minute tune-up you can do today: 1. Primary category — is it the most specific one available? "Roofing contractor" beats "Contractor." This single field carries serious ranking weight. 2. Services — list every service as its own entry, not one paragraph. People search for the service, not the trade. 3. Photos — add 3 recent ones from actual jobs. Profiles that look active earn more clicks than profiles that look abandoned. 4. Hours — wrong hours = the fastest way to earn an angry 1-star from someone standing outside a closed door. 5. The Q&A section — anyone can ask AND answer there, including strangers. Check what's sitting in yours. Post and answer your 3 most-asked customer questions yourself. Ten minutes. Zero cost. This is the highest-value free real estate in local marketing.

I'd love to hear from anyone actually using Paige for real clients — Have you had any GBP re-verifications due to Paige's automated GBP actions? Especially main category changes? If so, how do you deal with that?
