Frequently asked questions
What people usually ask me before we start. If your question is not here, just message me.
Do you only work with businesses in La Laguna?
No. I live in La Laguna, but I work with businesses all over Tenerife. Almost everything can be done remotely and, when needed, I come to your business to take photos or go through your profile with you.
What is a Google Business Profile and why does it matter?
It is what shows up on Google Maps, and next to Google’s search results, when someone looks for your business or for what you sell nearby. Many people decide right there: they check your opening hours, photos and reviews, then call or message you without visiting any website.
Can you guarantee I will be first on Google?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. Google ranks results by distance to the searcher, how well your profile matches the search and your reputation. What I do is make sure your profile is complete, accurate and well looked after, which is the part that depends on you.
Do I need a website if I already have a Google profile or Instagram?
Not always. For many businesses a good Google profile is enough. A website helps when you want to explain your services properly, show a menu or appear in more specific searches. If it is not worth it for you, I will tell you.
How much does it cost?
The main service is monthly maintenance of your Google Business Profile: €35/month, with the initial setup included (3-month minimum; month to month afterwards). Extras: one-off setup without maintenance, €120–190; a menu with QR code, €90–150; and a simple website, from €290. Guide prices excluding IGIC (the Canary Islands sales tax): before we start, I send you a fixed price.
Is there a minimum contract for monthly management?
If setup is included, the minimum is 3 months; after that it is month to month and you can stop whenever you like. Your profile is still yours.
How long does it take?
Your Google profile is ready a few days after I get access and the photos. A simple website usually takes one or two weeks, depending on how quickly we have the text and photos.
What do you need from me?
Not much: manager access to your profile (never your password), your opening hours, your services or menu with prices, and photos of your business and your work. If you don't have any, we'll figure it out together.
Do I own the profile and the website?
Yes. The profile stays in your name: I am added as a manager and you can remove my access whenever you like. The website, text and photos are yours too; if one day you want someone else to look after it, I hand everything over.
Do you write menus and copy in English?
Yes, in Spanish and English. You can see an example in the demo café’s menu, which comes in both languages with a QR code.
How do we start?
Message me on WhatsApp with the name of your business. I review your Google profile for free and send you what I would improve, with a fixed price. No obligation.
Still have a question?
Message me and I will get back to you. The profile review is free, with no obligation.
