If you’re not on Google, your customers aren’t finding you. Simple as that.
Whether you’re launching a new business or finally getting around to building your digital footprint, having a properly created and optimized Google Business Profile (GBP) is the first step to being found, trusted, and chosen.
At Ask8, we take the hassle out of the process and build you a powerful GBP listing from scratch that is designed to get clicks, calls, and customers.

Timeline: Your profile setup follows a 4-phase process completed over approximately 30 days:
Days 1–7: Claim, verify, and establish basic elements
Days 8–15: Verification support and backend setup
Days 16–23: Custom optimization, enhancement guide, and local SEO prep
Days 24–30: Launch content, reviews, Q&A, and approval process
Can’t I just create the profile myself? Sure — but would you DIY your taxes or your legal paperwork? A properly created GBP sets the stage for long-term visibility. We do it faster, better, and aligned with best practices.
How long until I show up in Google results? Most clients see improved visibility within 2–4 weeks post-verification. Actual rankings depend on your market and competition.
Do I need a website first? Nope! In fact, some businesses generate leads directly from their GBP before launching a site. We’ll help you optimize for that too.
Because your first impression on Google matters. We’ve helped hundreds of local businesses claim their spot on the map — and rank faster with less hassle.
With our white-glove setup, we don’t just “make a profile.” We build your local launchpad.
PS: The sooner your profile is live and optimized, the sooner your phone rings.
Don’t wait — your competitors aren’t.
"All The Best To Your Success."
