When somebody nearby searches for what you sell, the map results sit above every website on the page. That listing is what they judge you on, and most of them in Lebanon are wrong, half empty, or still unclaimed by the person who owns the business.
A site takes three weeks. A profile takes one, and it is the thing standing between you and the person searching right now. Hours, photos, services, the booking link and the reviews all live there, and Google shows it to people within a few streets of you without anybody clicking through to anything. If you only ever fix one thing online, fix this one first.
The profile claimed and verified in your name, so it is yours and not an agency's. Categories and services set the way people search rather than the way you describe yourself internally. Service areas, hours and the phone number wired to the right places. Photos uploaded, named and ordered so the good ones lead. A description written for what people type. The review link set up, with the message to send asking for them. Then the first month of posts scheduled so it does not look abandoned.
A profile is not a form you fill in once. It rots. Hours go stale over a holiday, a competitor posts every week and you have not posted since you opened, reviews go unanswered, and Google quietly stops showing a listing nobody maintains. Keeping it alive is worth more than setting it up, which is why it is part of the monthly rather than a one-off I hand over and forget.
$250 one-off, live and verified within 7 days of you sending your details, or you do not pay. If you want the site, the profile and the content run as one thing instead of three, that is The Whole Online Presence: $950 to set up and $349 a month, against $1,250 and $389 buying the same pieces separately.

$250 as a one-off, live and verified within 7 days of getting your details or you do not pay. It is also included in The Whole Online Presence, which is $950 to set up the site and the profile together and $349 a month to keep both running.
Probably, and it is worth two minutes to check. Search your own business on your phone. If the hours are wrong, the photos are other people's, the categories are vague, there are no posts, or the reviews have no replies, then the listing is working against you rather than for you.
No. If customers do not come to you, Google's own guidelines say to hide it and set service areas instead. My own profile is set up exactly that way. You get the reach without publishing where you live.
You do. It is claimed and verified in your name and I am added as a manager, which is the right way round. If we stop working together you keep the profile, the reviews and the photos.
The listing itself is live within 7 days. Movement in the map results is usually a few weeks, and it depends on how many businesses near you are competing for the same search. Reviews are the fastest lever after setup, which is why you get the link and the message to ask with.
Yes, and they should not be duplicates of each other. Each location gets its own categories, photos and description, because two identical listings compete with each other instead of covering two areas.
