Local Marketing Services to Help Your Business Stand Out in Google Search & Maps

Rank Rise Studio specializes in Google Business Profile optimization and ongoing management for service-area and storefront businesses in Raleigh, NC and nationwide.

Local Business Page Consulting

(Google business page, Apple Map Connect, Yelp)

Consulting is available for both large organizations managing multiple business locations and small businesses navigating individual profile challenges. Whether you're dealing with verification problems, duplicate or merged listings, missing reviews, incorrect service areas, category issues, or visibility decline, I offer expert guidance tailored to your situation.

Support can be provided for one-time issues, strategic planning, or ongoing oversight, depending on the level of help needed.

Please note: Payment is required upfront. While not every Google Business Profile issue can be guaranteed a full resolution (due to Google’s internal review processes), I focus on identifying the most effective solutions and fallback options when a direct fix is limited.

The goal is to remove confusion, save time, and create a clear path forward—so your business can maintain visibility and momentum in search.

Investment: Hourly Consultation

Verification + Suspensions • Lost Reviews • Duplicate Pages • Ranking Declines • Profile Rebuilds • Multi-Location Strategy

Make sure customers can find and trust your business everywhere they search—even beyond Google. With Apple Business Connect (Apple Maps), we ensure your business information is accurate, compelling, and consistently up-to-date so you appear confidently in local searches across iPhones, Siri, and Apple Maps.
