Ironside Digital manages Google Maps listings (Google Business Profiles) for Australian tradies. We claim and verify the listing, complete every field, add your services and service areas, keep photos and posts current, and help you build reviews. It is offered on its own or alongside a website and local SEO.
Why the Maps listing matters
When someone searches for a trade in their area, Google usually shows a map and three local businesses before any websites. That block is often called the map pack. A customer can call you straight from it without ever visiting a website. If your listing is unclaimed, half empty or missing, those calls go to someone else.
What we do
- Claim and verify. We get the listing under your control and through Google's verification.
- Fill out every field properly. Business category, description, hours, phone and website, all consistent with your site.
- Services and service areas. Every service you offer and every suburb you cover is loaded in.
- Photos and posts. Kept current, so the listing looks active.
- Reviews. We help you build up genuine reviews from your customers.
- Monthly reporting. You see where you appear on Google Maps and how many people found you.
Common reasons a tradie does not show on Google Maps
- The listing was never claimed or never verified.
- The primary category is wrong or too broad.
- The service areas do not include the suburbs you want work in.
- There are few reviews, or none recently.
- The business name, phone or address is different on the listing, the website and other directories.
- The listing has been suspended or has a duplicate.
We check all of these in the free review that comes with your website preview.
What it costs
Google Maps management is quoted as a fixed price, agreed before we start. It can be added to a website (from $1,100) or taken on its own. There are no lock-in contracts.
Common questions
Do you manage Google Maps listings?
Yes. We claim and verify your listing, fill out every field properly, load in your services and the suburbs you cover, keep your photos and posts current, and help you build up reviews.
Is a Google Maps listing the same as a Google Business Profile?
Yes. Google Business Profile is the name of the tool you use to manage how your business appears on Google Maps and in the map results in Google Search.
Do I need a website as well as a Maps listing?
A listing can work on its own, but the two support each other. A website with matching details and pages for your services and suburbs gives Google more reason to show your listing.
