Nick strips away the fluff and shows you a practical local marketing rhythm that still works —without dancing on social media.
You’ll learn how to tune your Google Business Profile (GBP) and keep it alive with a weekly cadence that compounds results.
What we cover:
• Why GBP matters now: it’s where a huge number of local decisions begin—so keep it current.
• The weekly rhythm: post a short update, add at least five fresh photos, answer new Q&As, and ensure services/categories are complete. Consider a tracking phone number to see exactly what GBP generates.
Many firms see a lift in calls within a month.
• Make it visible: use a Monday check-in to review progress and tighten the standard if friction repeats.
• Mini case study: a three-team Surrey firm chose one local-marketing move, made it visible, and within four weeks saw the key number shift and hold.
• Numbers to watch: pick one leading and one lagging measure tied to local marketing/GBP presence; discuss for ten minutes each Monday and agree one move before Friday.
• Signals you’re on track: fewer surprises, quicker approvals, shorter meetings; the small behaviours repeat without reminders.
By the end you’ll have:
Top 3 Actions to Take Away:
1. Write one clear outcome for local marketing/GBP and post it where the team can see it.
2. Capture proof each week (post URL, number of new photos, answered Q&A, inbound calls) and review it in a 15-minute Monday check-in.
3. Remove one blocker by Friday (e.g., assign a photo owner, template your weekly post, set Q&A alerts) and bake the fix into your standard.
