Let’s be honest: if your business isn’t on Google, do you even exist? Your potential customers aren’t flipping through Yellow Pages anymore (remember those?). They’re searching “plumber near me” at 11pm when their bathroom’s flooding, or looking for “best florist Canterbury” when they’ve forgotten an anniversary. Again.

Your Google Business Listing is where these panic-stricken, desperate customers find you. It shows up in local search results and Google Maps, complete with your photos, reviews, opening hours, and that all-important “Call” button. For small businesses across East Kent and beyond, it’s often the first impression you make—and we all know what they say about first impressions.

Why DIY Often Falls Short

Sure, anyone can create a Google Business Listing. But keeping it optimised? That’s where things get interesting. Google’s algorithm changes more often than the weather in Margate, and a listing that’s left to gather digital dust won’t do you any favours.

At mtstudios, we actively manage your Google Business Profile so you don’t have to. We keep your information accurate, optimise it with the right keywords, and make sure it’s working hard to attract customers while you’re busy actually running your business. You know, the job you’re good at.

We also protect your listing from malicious updates. Yes, that’s a real thing—competitors or internet trolls can suggest changes to Google, like marking your business as “permanently closed.” Charming, right? We monitor for these attempts 24/7 and shut them down fast.

Tracking What Matters

Here’s where it gets clever. We don’t just set up your listing and wave goodbye. Our tracking system monitors how you rank across different locations—whether that’s Deal, Whitstable, or Dover—so you know exactly where customers can find you. We even keep tabs on your competitors’ positions, because knowing where you stand in the local pecking order is half the battle.

Your Reputation, Managed

Reviews can make or break a local business. We help you develop strategies to encourage happy customers to leave genuine reviews (the right way—no dodgy tactics). When negative reviews pop up, we alert you immediately and can help craft responses that show you actually care about customer satisfaction.

We also monitor reviews across the entire web, not just Google, so you’ve got complete visibility of what people are saying about you.

Stop Hiding, Start Growing

Look, your competitors already have their Google Business game sorted. Every customer who can’t find you is probably finding them instead. Our SEO packages start from just £59 per month and include full Google Business Listing management.
