We ensure your business information (name, address, phone number, and hours) is accurate, consistent across directories, and protected from unauthorized changes—a critical step in avoiding Google’s auto-generated, easily spoofed listings.
🧠 Smart Monitoring and Scam Prevention
Once your profile is verified, we don’t stop there. EMILY monitors your Google Business Profile regularly, watching for:
Suspicious listing edits
Fake reviews
Duplicate or spoofed listings
Hijacked phone numbers or redirect links
Our team uses advanced SEO tools and tracking platforms like Google Search Console, SERanking, and Microsoft Clarity to flag changes in traffic, impressions, and engagement that may indicate profile tampering.
We also help businesses track phone call sources and website leads, identifying unusual patterns that may signal redirection scams or fake competitor listings.
📍 Local SEO That Builds Trust and Visibility
Scams exploit businesses that are not fully optimized. EMILY reinforces your local SEO through:
Consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) citations
Custom local content
Location-based keywords
Proper use of local business schema (JSON-LD) for AI and voice search visibility
Google Maps and Apple/Bing Maps accuracy
We also ensure your GBP has robust imagery, detailed services, and FAQs to enhance both visibility and credibility—keeping real customers engaged and informed.
🌟 Review Management and Reputation Defense
One tactic scammers use is posting fake reviews to weaken legitimate competitors. EMILY offers active reputation management. We:
Monitor and flag spam or fake reviews
Guide clients on requesting removals via Google support
Respond to legitimate customer feedback with SEO-smart language
Help generate authentic reviews to boost profile authority and trust
When positive reviews are backed by keyword-rich responses, they don’t just protect your image—they enhance your search performance.
📊 Reporting and Strategic Oversight
We don’t just fix problems—we provide visibility. EMILY delivers custom monthly reports showing:
GBP activity and performance trends
Keyword rankings and local pack visibility
User actions (calls, directions, website visits)
Recommendations to improve engagement and outpace competitors
Our certified team helps you stay one step ahead of bad actors by staying aligned with Google’s evolving local search algorithms and security best practices.
