Google Maps Fix-Up · Newcastle

Get on the map. Stay on it.

Search for what you sell near you. Google shows three businesses on a map before any website. If your profile is half-finished, missing, or wrong, you're not one of the three. For £195, once, we fix the profile and set up review requests that go out on their own.

£195, once. No monthly fee. No contract.

We were sceptical. Now we can't keep up with the enquiries. Best money we've spent on marketing in 15 years. Sarah and Mitchel actually understand trades businesses.

Why the map matters more than your website

Search "café Heaton" or "electrician Gosforth". Before a single website, Google shows a map with three businesses on it. Most people pick one of those three and never scroll.

Getting into that box runs on your Google Business Profile and your reviews. Plenty of local businesses have a half-finished profile and haven't asked for a review since the launch party. That's the gap we close.

The review bit, done properly

Reviews move you up the map more than anything. So we set up a message with your review link that goes out on its own after each sale, booking or job, using the till, booking app, shop or email you already have. If your system can't send one, we'll tell you the cheapest thing that can.

No bribes, no fake reviews, no only-asking-the-happy-ones. Google bans all three and fake reviews are illegal in the UK. We ask everyone. Nicely.

What it isn't

It isn't a monthly plan. You pay once, you keep everything, and the logins stay yours. It isn't a promise of the top spot either. We fix the bits Google looks at. How fast you climb depends on your street and your competitors. Anyone promising number one by Friday is lying.

    If Google wants to verify you, it sends a postcard or asks for a short video. We walk you through it.

Google Maps Fix-Up questions

How much is the Google Maps fix-up?
£195, once. No monthly fee, no setup fee, no contract.
I haven't got a Google Business Profile. Can you still help?
Yes. We'll create it. Google then checks you're real with a postcard or a short video, and we walk you through that bit.
Will this get me into the top three on Google Maps?
It gets you in the race properly. Where you land depends on your distance from the searcher, your competitors and your reviews over time. We'll show you the map you're aiming for before we start.
What does "automatic review requests" mean?
After each sale, booking or job, your customer gets a short message with a one-tap link to leave a Google review. It goes out from the system you already use, so you don't have to remember to ask.
Do you write reviews for us?
No. Fake reviews are illegal in the UK and Google deletes them anyway. Real ones only.
What if I want someone to keep it up after?
You can do it yourself with our one-page sheet. Or ask us and we'll quote ongoing care up front.
