Or there has never been one. On a Maps screen with three businesses side by side, an old date reads as a business that stopped paying attention.
Google Business Profile management, so your listing never looks like nobody is home
Rankure's GBP management service looks after your Google Business Profile for $264 a month: four posts, fresh photos, a reply to every review within 24 hours, and the checks that keep it inside Google's rules. Month-to-month, no setup fee.
Already suspended? Management cannot fix that. Start with reinstatement.

When did anyone last touch your Google profile?
Pull it up on your phone the way a customer would. If two of these are true, the listing next to yours is winning the comparison.
The one-star review has no reply
It sits near the top, and a new customer often reads it first. A calm public reply tells them more about you than the review does.
The photos still show the old van
New signage, new trucks, a new team: none of it is there, so the profile looks older than the business.
Your hours changed, and you did not change them
Anyone can suggest an edit to a listing, and Google sometimes accepts it. Wrong hours or a new category can go live without you knowing.
You have been suspended before
So you would rather nobody touched the name, address or category without a second pair of eyes.
You have no idea what it brings in
Calls, direction requests and website clicks are all counted by Google. Most owners never see the numbers.
Why does a profile you set up once stop bringing calls?
Because customers do not judge it once. They judge it every time, against the two or three listings beside it.
Most profiles get attention twice: the week they are made and the week something breaks. In between, a customer deciding who to call looks at what is in front of them. How recent are the photos? How recent are the reviews? Does the owner ever reply?

Google says local results depend mainly on relevance, distance and popularity. You cannot move your address. The other two are built week by week: accurate categories and services, a steady flow of reviews, and a reply to every one of them.
The profile also has to answer questions now. In December 2025 Google replaced the public Q&A section with an AI Ask button that answers from the owner's information and from reviews (PPC Land). A thin profile gives Google less to say about you.
What does a looked-after profile look like six months in?
It looks like someone is home. A new post every week. Photos of the business you run today. Every review answered within a day: the kind ones with thanks, the hard ones with a calm, useful reply. Holiday hours set before the holiday, not after the annoyed phone call.
Once a month you get a short report in Google's own numbers: how many people called, asked for directions or clicked through to your website, against the month before.
Here is a real one, caveat included. Dragon Mountain RV & Cabin Resort in Maryville, Tennessee has been managed by Rankure since April 2026. From April to September its interactions rose 38%, website visits 41%, direction requests 35%, views 29% and calls 15%. It is a seasonal business, so part of that is summer. The report shows it month by month, so you can see which part is the work.
Is $264 a month a fair price for GBP management?
Here is what two other managed plans publish on their own sites. Line up the deliverables, not just the price.

|---|---|---|---|
| Rankure | $264 per profile | None | 4 posts a month, monthly photos, review replies within 24 hours, customer questions, category audit, compliance monitoring, monthly report |

Do you have to do anything, or hand anything over?
Very little, and never your password. Full terms are on how we price and work.
- Do I have to write anything?No. We write the posts and the review replies, and ask you for photos when it makes sense. Approve each post before it goes up, or tell us to go ahead.
- Will you reply to reviews in my name without checking?Only in the way you agree at the start. Replies for medical and legal practices never confirm that someone is a patient or a client.
- Is there a contract?No long one. It is month-to-month, and you can stop with 30 days written notice.
- Do you need my Google password?No. You add Rankure as a manager on the profile and can remove us whenever you like.
- Can you promise rankings, or that I will never be suspended?No. Google decides both, and anyone who promises either is guessing. Management keeps the profile active and inside the rules, which lowers the risk and keeps you in the running.
- Could I just do this myself?Yes. If you will post every week, reply within a day and check your details every month, you do not need us. Most owners mean to. Then a busy month comes along, and that gap is the job we do.
- Is management enough to climb the map?In a quiet market it often helps a lot. In a crowded one, moving up usually also needs pages, links and citations, which is local SEO, and that includes profile management.

What else is worth knowing before you start?
How much does Google Business Profile management cost?
At Rankure it is $264 a month per profile, month-to-month with no setup fee. That covers four posts a month, monthly photos, a reply to every review within 24 hours, customer questions, a category audit, compliance monitoring and a monthly report.
Does Google still show Q&A on Business Profiles?
Not in its old public form. Since December 2025 Google shows an AI Ask button that answers from the information the owner provides and from reviews. Keeping those answers complete is part of management.
Do you manage several locations?
Yes. Each profile is $264 a month, kept consistent with the others, with one report covering all of them. Larger brands get a quote after a free review of every profile.
What if my profile is already suspended?
Management prevents problems; it cannot undo a suspension. That needs reinstatement first: a $199 diagnostic, and $288 only if Google reinstates the profile.
What do you need from me to start?
Manager access to the profile, any photos you already have, and ten minutes to tell us what you want customers to know: services, areas, seasons and offers.
