Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing customers see, and more and more often, the only thing. We keep it accurate, active and working for you every week, so you can focus on running your business.
Human-led. White hat. Built for businesses in Cochrane, Calgary, Alberta and across Canada.
Plans from $395/month per location. 6-month and 12-month contracts are available and necessary for client success.
Hours change. Services change. Photos age. Google notices, and so do your customers.
When someone nearby searches for what you do, three businesses appear in the map results. If you’re not one of them, that customer may never reach your website.
New features appear. Old ones disappear. In the past year, Google retired the Q&A section and began answering customer questions with AI. Keeping up is a job in itself.
Your best work lives on Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube. Customers searching on Google never see it.
How many calls came from Google this month? How many direction requests? Without clear reporting, it’s guesswork.
The cost of leaving it alone: an outdated or inactive profile hands your best local leads to the business down the street. Not because they’re better. Because they showed up.
In early 2026, 68% of Google searches in the US ended without a single click to a website, up from 60% in 2024. Searchers get their answer on the results page: a map, a phone number, a set of reviews, an AI summary.
For local businesses, that answer is usually your Google Business Profile. Local searches are one of the few categories that still lead to action, and that action often happens right on your profile: a call, a direction request, a message.
One profile feeds:
When your profile is complete and current, all of these work in your favour. When it’s out of date, all of them repeat the mistake.
If your website is your storefront, your Google Business Profile is your sign on the highway.
In the 2026 Local Search Ranking Factors report, 47 local search experts ranked 187 factors that place a business in Google’s local results. Their findings:
An actively managed profile does four jobs at once.
Shows up on Maps and in local search more often.
Tells Google, and its AI, exactly what you do and where.
Current photos, fresh updates and real reviews show customers you’re active and reliable.
Regular updates on your projects, services and know-how show you’re the business that knows its field.
A fully optimized profile. We review and tune your profile so Google understands exactly what you do and where you do it.
Fresh updates every week. Services, projects, case studies, promotions, rebates and events, written for your customers and formatted for Google.
Your social media, extended. We adapt your best Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram posts into Google updates, so your work reaches people searching on Google too.
Your YouTube videos, promoted. Already have videos? We feature them on your profile to drive more views. (Need new videos produced? Ask us for a quote.)
Ongoing care. We watch for unwanted edits, keep details current, and adopt new Google features as they roll out.
A monthly report in plain language. What changed, what worked, and what’s next.
We use AI tools to research, draft and check our work faster. Every update is planned, reviewed and approved by a real person on our team who knows your business. No autopilot posting.
We follow Google’s Business Profile guidelines. No fake reviews, no keyword-stuffed business names, no stock or AI-generated photos passed off as your work. These shortcuts can get a profile suspended, and we don’t take them.
Google changes its Business Profile features, AI search experiences and reporting tools every year. We track those changes and adjust your profile and strategy as they happen.

Why it adds up: one new client or project a month usually covers the cost of a plan.
Your Google profile and your website work as a team. These two services complete the picture.
Your profile wins the map. Your website wins the rest of the search results. Our Essential SEO Ranking Report tracks your website’s most valuable keywords against your top competitors and shows where it’s missing organic visibility. We use those insights to aim your Google updates at the gaps, so your profile and website gain local traction together. Works with any website, whoever built it.
Reviews are among the strongest factors for map rankings and the top factor in whether customers call. Our Review Management service helps you earn a steady flow of genuine reviews across Google and the review sites that matter in your industry, with quarterly reporting.
Still have a question? Call (403) 667-0765 or email hello@blinddrop.com.
No. We manage your Google Business Profile no matter who built or hosts your website.
No. You stay the owner. You add BlindDrop as a manager or co-owner, and you can remove us any time.
No honest agency can promise a specific ranking. Distance from the searcher is a major factor nobody controls. What we can do is make your profile as strong, accurate and active as possible, and show you the results each month.
Profile fixes can show up within days. Steady gains in calls and map visibility usually build over two to three months of consistent activity.
We use AI to support research and drafting. A real person on our team plans, edits and approves every update. We never post anything we haven’t reviewed and if you require a change to an existing post, we can update it.
Review requests and tracking are part of our separate Review Management service, which pairs well with any plan. Review responses are always best provided directly by the company itself. We can post responses for you, but you will be responsible for the wording and timely feedback.
Video production isn’t included, but we can quote it separately. We promote your existing YouTube videos on Local Growth and Local Authority.
This is a dedicated service that requires a simple contract, signed by both parties. Plans are in 6-month and 12-month terms to ensure both sides are committed to the process. Cancelation can be made with 30 days’ notice and exit fee.
Pricing is per location. Contact us for multi-location pricing and details.
Let’s make your Google Business Profile work as hard as you do.
