Our approach

01

The challenge: Unclaimed profile, underperforming presence

Despite being a long-established local favourite, the pastry shop had never claimed its Google Business Profile.

That meant no control over its appearance, no ability to update or manage key information, and no strategic use of one of the most powerful local search tools.

The result? Missed opportunities and an invisible footprint in local search.

02

The solution: A polished presence built on strong local foundations

We stepped in with a simple but high-impact approach:

  • Professional photoshoot to visually represent the space and products with fresh, high-quality content
  • Google Business Profile (GBP) optimization & verification, ensuring all business information was accurate, complete, and up-to-date

This wasn’t a reinvention—just a recalibration. The shop already had the reputation and product; we gave it the visibility and credibility it deserved online.

03

The results: From overlooked to overperforming in local search

After the updates, the results spoke for themselves, for the last three months:

  • +169.2% increase in searches where the business appeared
  • +86.7% increase in profile views
  • +51.5% more interactions with the profile (calls, clicks, directions)

These gains didn’t require complex campaigns or massive ad budgets. They came from laying a solid foundation—claiming the location, optimising content, and presenting the business in the best light possible.

Boosting the discoverability in local search

Even legacy businesses with great reputations can get overlooked in local search without a verified, optimised presence. Sometimes, the smallest tweaks—when done right—can drive the biggest results.
