FAQ
Common questions
Why does Google Business Profile matter for local businesses? +
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) powers the local map pack, Google Maps listings, and an increasing share of AI-generated local answers. For most local businesses, GBP drives more discovery and direct conversions than a website does.
How do I rank higher in Google's local map pack? +
The three biggest factors: relevance (category and service match), proximity (distance to the searcher), and prominence (reviews, citations, activity). You can't change proximity, but relevance and prominence are where a strong GBP strategy compounds.
How often should I update my Google Business Profile? +
Post weekly at minimum (Google treats an active profile as a signal of relevance), respond to all reviews within 48 hours, refresh photos monthly, and audit categories and services quarterly. The skill includes a maintenance cadence.
Do GBP posts and photos actually affect ranking? +
Yes—both are engagement signals. Posts influence freshness scoring; photos affect click-through rate from the map pack, which in turn affects ranking. They're not massive individual levers, but they compound over months.
Which AI models does this skill work with? +
All major LLMs—Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini. Installs in under 2 minutes.
