About Rank Rise Studio
Why I Do What I Do
Most business owners set up a Google Business Profile and then move on, because you already have a business to run. But just like your social media, your Google Business Profile needs consistent activity and strategic updates to keep showing up in local search results. That’s where I come in.
I specialize in ongoing management, optimization, and growth of Google Business Profiles so your business stays visible, current, and competitive - without adding more to your plate.
Here’s why having someone dedicated to your profile matters:
Google Changes Constantly - Your Profile Should Too
Google updates its ranking system all the time, and now its AI Overviews are pulling heavily from Google Business Profiles. I stay on top of these shifts so your profile is always positioned to benefit from them - not get buried by them.
Google, Apple, Voice Search & AI Are All Using Your Business Profile
Search today isn’t just happening on Google anymore. Customers are using voice assistants and AI tools on both Google and Apple devices to find local businesses. They are asking questions like “Who’s the best option near me?” or “Is this business open right now?”
Both Google and Apple pull trusted business information from Google Business Profiles to help power search results, maps, and voice recommendations. That means your hours, services, photos, reviews, and activity aren’t just for Google Search, they influence how and where your business shows up across multiple platforms.
When your profile is consistently updated and strategically managed, it sends strong trust signals that help AI and voice search tools confidently surface your business. If it’s outdated or inactive, those same tools may skip over you entirely.
Activity Directly Impacts Your Ranking
Google rewards businesses that post regularly, respond to reviews, and keep their information fresh. I handle all ongoing engagement so your business stays active and relevant.
Strategic Optimization = More Local Customers
From keyword-driven descriptions to geo-tagged photos and category selection, every detail affects how and where your business shows up. I optimize your profile to increase visibility and attract customers who are already looking for what you offer.
Small Mistakes Can Hurt Your Reputation
Incorrect hours, unanswered reviews, and outdated info can turn customers away. I monitor and update your profile to make sure it always reflects the quality of your business.
You’re Busy Doing What You Do Best
Running a business takes your full energy - and your time is valuable. I ensure your Google Business Profile actively works for you, instead of becoming another task on your to-do list.
