Is $149/mo enough to rank #1 on Maps?

No honest vendor can sell that outcome as a package. Profile hygiene and posting help. Proximity, categories, reviews and competitors decide the pack. We will not invent a ranking promise to close the month.

Which cities do you claim as GBP service areas?

Calgary, Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere and Rocky View County. High River, Strathmore, Sherwood Park and Red Deer may have pages when demand exists, but we do not call them GBP service areas and we do not add Edmonton to that list.

Can I buy GBP management without a website rebuild?

Yes. It is designed as an entry point. Many shops start here before deciding whether the free 14-page fullstack site (founding is $1,250 after the first 10) or $1,000/mo SEO is worth it.

Do you collect reviews automatically with a third-party growth tool?

We help with review request process and replies. We do not sell a Climbo-style growth layer as a packaged SEO upsell.

GBP management: $149/mo
GBP setup / recovery: $349

Before the numbers

GBP management is operations work on the profile that sits above the blue links. It is not a substitute for on-site SEO, and it is not a promise of map-pack position. Our price is $149 per month per profile, no setup fee, cancel any time. Setup or recovery is a separate $349 one-time fee. Call +1 (250) 344-1619.

Read these with a caveat

Competitor monthly fees vary with whether setup is bundled, whether posting is real, and whether review replies are SLA-backed. Compare inclusions, not the sticker alone.

What each tier actually buys

DIY owner time

$0 + hours

What you get: You post, reply and upload photos yourself.
Right for: Owners who will actually protect a weekly slot.
The catch: The work dies the first busy month, which is when review velocity matters most.

Focused profile ops

$99–$285/mo

What you get: Posts, categories, photos, Q&A, review responses.
Right for: Single-location trades whose customers pick from the map.
The catch: Cheap plans that charge setup then under-deliver on weekly work.

Bundled inside a large SEO retainer

$1,000–$4,000/mo

What you get: Profile work mixed with content, links and reporting.
Right for: Businesses that already need full local SEO.
The catch: Paying retainer rates for profile chores you could buy a la carte.

What moves the number

Location count

Per-profile pricing should fall after three locations; ask for the math.

Review reply SLA

Same-day replies cost more than a monthly digest of unanswered reviews.

Photo pipeline

Fresh job photos beat stock. Someone has to collect them.

Suspension risk

Fake addresses and keyword-stuffed names create recovery fees later.

How to read a quote

Six things worth asking.

Guaranteed top-three map pack.
Keyword stuffing the business name.
Service areas that list Edmonton when the crew cannot cover it.
Calling profile ops a growth layer that also somehow includes Climbo-style review automation you never asked for.
