Google Business Profile
Your profile is the first thing people see when they search your name or your trade in your suburb. It is free, it is a must, and it is where we start.

A $150 deposit holds your time. The rest is charged after your session. Move it any time at no cost.
Why it is number 1
This is a must for any local business, and it is the easiest win you will get. When someone searches your trade in your suburb, the map pack and the profile show up before any website does. A profile that is filled out properly, with real photos, the right categories and reviews coming in, does more for a local business than most paid ads ever will. So it goes first, and everything else builds on it.
On the day
I turn up with my own computer and we work through it on yours. I do the boring parts for you, and every account ends up in your name.
If you already have one we get you the owner access. If not, we create it on your Google account, on your machine, so it is yours from the first minute.
The primary category is the single most important setting on the whole profile, so we get it right, then the services and the suburbs you actually want work from.
Google will usually verify you while we sit there. If it will not, you leave with the exact steps and what normally unblocks it.
A profile with real photos of your work, your van and your team looks like a real business. We load the first set and I show you how to keep adding.
Your review link, where to send it, and what to say when you ask. Reviews are the thing that moves a profile up the map, so they get their own slot.
What you walk away knowing
The buttons you will be looking at on a Tuesday night when you want to change something.
With every module
The wall to learning takes a bit of effort. So every module comes with the time to get over it.
One on one, in person, on your laptop. Learning it, setting it up and understanding it, with me next to you.
Because something always comes up in the first few weeks, and a ten minute call fixes most of it.
The same support you already get on your Scalus website, in the Scalus app, for as long as you are subscribed.
I want you to learn the basics, then go and do the extra research yourself. If it slips, we can always do a refresher.
Ads and posts send people to your website. Because I manage your website, I can work with you on your campaigns as they run. Say you have a new offer. I build a landing page that fits it, and your ad points straight at it.
Landing pages for whatever you are advertising are built for you, free, as part of your plan.
Google Business Profile
Usually yes. Most profiles I see were claimed years ago, have the wrong primary category, three photos and no posts. Fixing that in one sitting is most of the value.
Verification has to happen on the owner account, so we do it together on your laptop. Some businesses get a video verification, some a postcard. I know what each one wants.
For this module, no. But Scalus Learn is only for Scalus website clients, because the profile points at your website and the two work together.
Where we meet
Quiet space and power, which is all we need. The content session for the social media module happens at your business instead.
