A Profile Needs Weekly Attention, Not a One-Off Pin

Getting a shop onto Google Maps happens once. Keeping the listing correct and inside Google's rules is ongoing work, and GBP management is easier when the same people also run your SEO and Google Ads.

Weekly Checks After Setup

Weekly Checks After Setup

Profiles drift once the pin is in. People suggest edits, Google changes its rules, new reviews come in and holiday hours move. Google's help documentation gives owners four days to accept or reject a suggested edit that needs their review, and if nobody answers, Google may publish the edit when other public information, such as your website, supports it. So we check your profile every week: we reject wrong edits that are still open, correct any that went live, answer reviews and keep your website in line with the profile.

Connected to Your Local SEO and Google Ads

The same team runs Local SEO and Google Ads, so your profile categories, landing pages, call tracking (where you approve it) and UTM links match up. If you advertise, we link the profile to your Google Ads account for location assets. You have one team to talk to, and your business details read the same on the profile, your website and your ads.

What Our Google Business Profile Management Covers

Six areas of work, all handled by the same bilingual team in Bangkok.

Setup, Claim and Verification icon

Setup, Claim and Verification

We set up new profiles and claim existing or duplicate listings under your own Google account, then set the pin, service area, categories, hours and attributes correctly. We also prepare the evidence Google may ask for during verification, though Google chooses the method.

Suspension Recovery and Listing Fixes icon

Suspension Recovery and Listing Fixes

Wrong pins, listings that won't show, address changes after a move, duplicates, and access lost when a staff member left. For a suspended profile we fix the likely cause and file a reinstatement request. Google makes the final call.

Review Replies in Thai and English icon

Review Replies in Thai and English

Every review gets a reply in the reviewer's language and your brand's voice. We help you ask real customers for reviews and report the ones that break policy to Google. We never buy, sell or reward reviews.

Posts, Photos and Updates icon

Posts, Photos and Updates

Offers and news go into regular Thai and English posts rather than into the listing itself. We keep photos fresh and holiday hours current, and answer customer questions where Google still shows that feature.

Policy Checks and Edit Monitoring icon

Policy Checks and Edit Monitoring

We go through user-suggested edits every week. A wrong edit that is still pending gets rejected, and one that already went live gets corrected. We also flag dual-script names, promotional wording and other policy problems before they put the profile at risk.

Multi-Branch Management and Reporting icon

Multi-Branch Management and Reporting

Every branch carries the same core details, and a change such as holiday hours goes out to all branches at once. Each branch also gets its own monthly report on calls, direction requests, website clicks, reviews and, where Google shows them, post views.

What's Included: One-Time Setup and Monthly Management

Google Business Profile (GBP) is Google's free business listing: the panel with your name, pin, opening hours, phone number, photos and reviews that appears on Google Search and Google Maps. It used to be called Google My Business, and owners using Google in Thai can open it by searching ธุรกิจของฉัน. Creating and keeping a profile costs nothing. The work is in keeping it correct, active and within Google's rules.

If you only need the basics, we have written about what Google Business Profile is and how to get your business on Google Maps yourself. This service covers what comes after those guides: cleaning up a profile that has drifted, then looking after it month by month.

Ranking strategy is a separate job. Citations, location pages, schema markup and local keyword targeting sit in our Local SEO service. One team does both, and the table below shows where the line is drawn.

We quote after reviewing your profile, because the scope depends on how many branches you have, the state the profile is in and how many reviews come in.

Verification, Suspensions and Listings That Won't Show

Profile problems are usually specific. The pin doesn't show on Google Maps, or it sits in the wrong place. There are two listings for one shop. Verification is stuck, the profile has been suspended, or nobody can log in because the person who set it up has left.

We start with a diagnosis: verification status, duplicate listings, policy flags, and any mismatch between the pin, the address and your website. Then we fix what can be fixed within Google's guidelines and prepare the documents Google may ask for. Where needed, we file a reinstatement request, or help you file an ownership request from your own Google account. Our setup and verification guide goes through the usual causes in more detail, and our post on common local SEO mistakes covers mismatched business details and half-filled profiles.

Some decisions stay with Google. Google picks which verification method you are offered, decides whether edits and reinstatements are approved, and sets the timing. We tell you plainly what is fixed and what is waiting on Google, and we don't promise dates or outcomes that Google controls.

Review Management Inside Google's Rules

We reply to each review in the reviewer's language, Thai or English, and in your brand's voice. A positive review gets a proper thank-you rather than a stock line copied from the last reply. A genuine complaint gets a calm, specific reply that offers a private channel to continue the conversation, and we pass the underlying issue on to you.

Only the person who wrote a review, or Google, can remove it. A business owner can't delete a customer's review or turn reviews off, as we explain in our guide on whether you can turn off reviews. What we can do is report reviews that break Google's content policies, such as fake or spam reviews, off-topic content, harassment or personal information, and supply the evidence.

We never buy, sell, swap or reward reviews. Buying reviews breaks Google's review policies for Maps and puts the whole listing at risk. Google's review snippet guidelines now also tell site owners not to show fake or undisclosed paid or incentivised reviews on their websites. To get more reviews, we help you ask real customers through QR codes, receipts or LINE follow-ups, and the request goes to every customer, not just the ones likely to be happy.

Policy Checks and Edit Monitoring for Thai Businesses

Google updated or clarified several Business Profile and review rules in 2026 that matter in Thailand, where shop signs often carry both a Thai and an English name. We check each profile against them every week, because a policy problem that sits unnoticed can end in a suspension.

Google's guidelines now say a business name must not include the same name repeated in more than one script or language, even if the shop sign shows it that way. We covered the change in our post on dual-script business names. Google's prohibited content policy also now says the listing itself may not carry promotional or commercial content with time-bound promotions, pricing or direct calls to action. Offers and updates are still allowed in posts, and our post on promotions in listing fields has the detail.

Business Profile also connects to Google's AI products. Google's Business Profile integration in Gemini, an assistant for editing listings, now supports multi-location accounts, and edits drafted in Gemini are published only after the owner approves them. On visibility in AI search results, Google has said no special coding is needed and pointed instead to complete Business Profile data and first-hand content. If you want your brand to appear in AI answers more widely, our generative engine optimisation service covers that side.

2026 Google policy points we check
PolicyWhat it meansWhat we check
Dual-script business names (Aug 2026)A Thai and an English version of the same name can't be repeated in the name field, even if the shop sign shows bothThe name field uses one version and follows Google's rule
Promotions in listing fields (Oct 2026)No promotional content with time-bound offers, prices or calls to action in the listing itselfOffers moved into posts, without email addresses, phone numbers, social media links or unrelated links
Suggested edits (Sep 2026)A wrong user edit may be published if it isn't answered within four days of the notification and public information supports itWeekly edit review, and website details that match the profile
Review snippet guidelines for your website (Jul 2026)Reviews shown on your website and in its markup must be genuine, with any incentive clearly disclosedThe review requests we run carry no reward of any kind
Months in brackets show when each point was reported.

Monthly Reporting and Tracking

Each month you get a report that connects profile activity to what customers did (calls, direction requests and website clicks), along with post views and a review summary. Multi-branch brands get one report per branch, in Thai or English.

Before the first report goes out, we add UTM tags to the website and booking links on your profile so those visits show up in GA4 as profile traffic, and we set up call tracking where you approve it. Post views are coming back too: Google began rolling out post view counts in the profile dashboard in September 2026, and we report them for profiles where Google shows them.

For brands with several locations, we use Google's official Business Profile API, which we have approved access to. With it we can push a change such as holiday hours to every branch in one go and pull performance data branch by branch, so every location's report uses the same format.

FAQ

Google Business Profile Management FAQ

Ownership, cost, reviews, suspensions and how this differs from Local SEO.

Yes. Google renamed Google My Business to Google Business Profile, so both names mean the same free listing. It is what shows your business on Google Search and Google Maps, with your name, pin, opening hours, phone number, photos, posts and reviews.

Google doesn't charge to create or keep a Business Profile. What you pay for is the work: setup and cleanup, help with verification, fixes, posts, review replies, policy monitoring and reporting. The cost depends on how many branches you have, the state the profile is in (for example, suspended or duplicated) and how many reviews you get, so we quote after looking at your profile.

Google controls the timing. A new or edited listing appears once Google has reviewed and verified it, so nobody can promise an exact number of days. When a listing doesn't show, the usual reasons are that it isn't verified yet, it is still under review, there is a duplicate, the pin and address don't match, or the profile is suspended. We check each of these, fix what we can and tell you plainly what is waiting on Google.

We look for the likely cause, which is often the business name, the address, a duplicate listing or another policy issue. Then we correct the profile so it meets Google's guidelines and file a reinstatement request with supporting documents. Google makes the final decision, so nobody can guarantee recovery. If the problem is lost access, for example because a former employee owns the profile, we help you file Google's ownership request from your own account instead.

Only the person who wrote a review, or Google, can remove it. We report reviews that break Google's policies, such as fake, spam, off-topic or abusive ones, and supply the evidence. Genuine negative reviews get a calm, professional reply in the reviewer's language. Reviews can't be switched off on a Business Profile. We never buy, sell or reward reviews, because buying them breaks Google's review policies for Maps and puts the listing at risk.

You stay the primary owner and add us as a Google Business Profile manager from your own Google account. We never need your password. You can remove our access at any time, and the profile, its reviews and its photos remain with your business.

Google Business Profile management keeps the profile correct, verified, active and within Google's rules. Local SEO is the wider ranking work: citations, location pages, schema and local keyword targeting. The same team handles both, so they can run side by side. Nobody can honestly guarantee a spot in the local pack, because Google decides local rankings on factors such as relevance, distance and prominence.

Yes. Each branch gets its own properly set-up profile, the same core details as the other branches and its own monthly report. We manage multi-branch accounts through Google's official Business Profile API, so a change such as holiday hours can go out to every branch at once. Businesses that serve customers at the customer's location rather than at a shopfront can be set up as service-area businesses under Google's guidelines.
