What it costs

  • DIY: free, plus a few hours.
  • One-time set-up and clean-up: typically a few hundred dollars.
  • Ongoing local SEO: commonly several hundred to around $1,500 a month in Canada, depending on competition and scope.

What you should get for ongoing help

  • Category and service tuning.
  • Weekly or monthly posts and photos.
  • A review request system and replies.
  • Citation clean-up.
  • Location pages on your website.
  • Rank tracking across your service area and a report tied to calls.

What you can do yourself

Use our Google Business Profile checklist. If you rank in the top three across your area already, you may not need ongoing help.
