Your Google listing looks fine — but customers still aren't calling
For many Swansea businesses, the Google Business Profile appears before your website. If categories are wrong, photos are old, or services aren't filled in, you're invisible for the searches that should be yours.
Wrong or vague categories
Google doesn't know what you actually do — so you miss the map pack for your best keywords.
Thin profile
No services listed, few photos, empty Q&A — visitors bounce to a competitor who looks more active.
Website doesn't support it
Your listing promises one thing; your site says another. Google notices the mismatch.

Deeper guide: Google Business optimisation for Swansea
Profiles and sites I've improved for local visibility
I've optimised listings and built local pages for cafés, restaurants, law firms, driving schools, pubs and other hospitality businesses, and more! Some of this work has contributed to +540% traffic for a local café over three months. Pub and restaurant sites include Google Business tidy-ups, regular updates and review management alongside new websites.
You can see some of the results I've achieved on the homepage or read why your Swansea business might not show on Google Maps.
This is for you if…
- You get most enquiries from Google Search or Maps
- You haven't updated your listing in months (or years)
- You're not sure which category or services to pick
- You want a Swansea-based SEO specialist, not a call centre
“Can't I just do this myself?”
You can — and Google's tools are free. The gap is knowing what actually moves rankings in your niche in Swansea (or your local area), and avoiding changes that trigger suspensions. I save you time and wrong turns.
Keyword-stuffed business names, wrong categories, stock photos — risky and often ineffective.
Guideline-safe optimisation, aligned with your website and local SEO.
What does GBP optimisation cost?
A focused profile review and fix can be scoped as a one-off or as part of ongoing local SEO. Many small businesses who work with me opt for the £195/month package on the homepage — which includes a brand new website, hosting, and on-going local SEO.

Common questions
Q.Is Google Business Profile the same as Google My Business?
Yes — it's the same thing, just renamed. When people talk about GMB or GBP, they mean your public business listing on Google Search and Maps.
Q.Can you guarantee position 1 on Google Maps?
Nobody ethical can guarantee a map ranking. What I can do is fix the issues that hold good businesses back — wrong categories, thin profiles, weak websites — so you're in the running for the searches that matter.
Q.How quickly can a GBP optimisation show results?
Some fixes (categories, services, photos) can help within weeks. Competitive areas in Swansea may take longer — especially if competitors have years of reviews and content.
Q.What if my listing was suspended?
We'll look at why — often guideline issues or duplicate listings. I'll advise on the safest path to reinstatement using Google's processes.
Q.Do you only work on the profile, or the website too?
Both work together. I usually optimise the profile first, then align your website so Google sees one clear, trustworthy business.
