Maps Listing Pro Talk with Monica

Are you losing customers because of your Google listing?

Customers decide in seconds whether to call. If your listing has no photos, no reviews or missing hours, they call someone else, even when your work is better. I'll fix it for you and do the heavy lifting.

What customers see on your listing

No photos, or only a Street View shotReal photos of your business and your work
No reviews, or only old onesFresh reviews, each with your reply
Missing or wrong hoursCorrect hours, phone and website

No posts or updatesRecent posts that show you're open and busy

A blank listing can't show customers how good your work is. A complete one can.

Your listing makes the first impression

When someone needs a plumber, a haircut or a place for lunch, they search Google Maps, glance at a few listings, and call the one that looks real. A listing with no photos, no reviews and missing hours gets skipped, even when the business behind it does great work.

I'm Monica, and I live right here in Carpinteria. I'm not a call center or an automated service. I'm a local business owner who walks in, looks at your listing with you, and does the work myself. When you call, you'll reach me. Monica Vandeventer, Maps Listing Pro

How it works

  1. Free listing check

    I look over your listing next to your competitors and show you exactly what customers see. No cost and no pressure.

  2. I do the heavy lifting

    I claim and update your listing, write your description and services, and add your photos. You approve everything before it goes live.

  3. Customers can find you

    Your listing shows the real business, with reviews coming in and a plan to keep it fresh. Most owners spend about an hour of their own time.

What you get, and why it matters
2 posts every month
Recent jobs, seasonal offers and holiday hours show customers you're open and busy. A listing with no updates in months looks abandoned.
Replies to every new review
Most customers prefer businesses that reply to their reviews. I draft each reply in your voice and post it, so no review sits unanswered.
A monthly check-up
Anyone can suggest changes to your listing on Google, and wrong hours or even a "closed" label can slip through. I catch those and keep your hours, photos and details accurate.
A monthly results note
A short note showing how many people called you, asked for directions or visited your website from your listing, so you can see it working.
Website hosting, for Complete clients
Your website stays online and up to date, with small text and photo changes included.

Questions

My work speaks for itself. Does my Google listing really matter?

Your work wins customers once they call. Your listing decides whether they call at all, because for most people it's the first thing they see.

Am I too far behind to catch up?

No. A listing with no reviews is a blank slate, not a bad reputation. Once it's claimed and complete, every new review and photo starts working for you right away.

How much of my time will this take?

About an hour in total. I do the setup and the writing. You approve it, share a few photos (or I take them, with Growth and Complete), and send one text to past customers asking for a review.

Can I do this myself?

You can. Most owners would rather spend that time on their business, so I handle it for you and set it up to keep working.

Will this guarantee more calls?

No one can honestly promise a number. But Google reports that businesses with photos get 42% more requests for directions than those without.

What if my listing isn't claimed?

Until it's claimed, you can't reply to reviews, post updates or add photos as the owner, and you can't approve or reject changes other people suggest to your details. Claiming it is the first thing I do in every package.
