Search setupSearch and AI visibility
Set up properly where search actually starts
Google Business Profile claimed and completed, Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools verified, sitemaps submitted, and one consistency pass across the directories that matter. Small, quick, and the thing most businesses discover they skipped about a year too late.
★★★★★ Rated 5.0 from 10 Google reviews
That rating comes from the profile we set up this way for ourselves. We did the same for Silvi the Artist, whose shop ships worldwide.
One off, everything handed over
Every account is created in your name and handed to you. Nothing is held on our accounts, and you can remove our access the day it is finished.
Prices are in pounds sterling and no VAT is added. International businesses are welcome, and the currency shown is the currency charged.
What you get
Exactly what is included, and what is not
This is a setup rather than a campaign. It puts the foundations in place correctly and hands them to you. What it does not do is promise rankings, because nobody honestly can.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Google Business Profile | Claimed or created, verified, and completed properly: categories, services, hours, description, photos. |
| Search Console | Property created and verified, sitemap submitted, indexing checked and any blocking issues reported. |
| Bing Webmaster Tools | Verified and sitemap submitted. Bing feeds several AI answer engines, which is why it is not optional here. |
| Name and address consistency | One pass across key directories so your business details match everywhere they appear. |
| Handover | Written notes on what was set up, where it lives, and how to keep it current yourself. |
| Ownership | Every account in your name. Our access is removed at the end unless you ask otherwise. |
| Timing | Around 5 working days for the work. Google's postcard verification sits outside that and outside anyone's control. |
| Review generation | Not included. We set the profile up correctly; earning reviews is your job and cannot be bought. |
| Ongoing management | Not included. This is a one off setup, not a monthly service. |
| Ranking promises | None, from us or from anyone honest. What we control is that the foundations are right. |
| Paid advertising | Not included, and we do not run client ad accounts. |
Why it matters more than it sounds
Three clocks that only start when you set them
This is the least glamorous product we sell and the one with the clearest cost of delay, because three separate things begin accumulating only from the day they exist.
- 01Search Console data
It collects from the day it is verified and no earlier. A business that adds it a year in has a year of blindness it can never recover, and no way of knowing what it was ranking for before.
- 02Profile age and reviews
A Google Business Profile compounds. The age of the listing, the photos and the reviews all build on each other, and starting late costs you something you cannot buy back.
- 03Being quotable by AI
Answer engines lean heavily on structured, consistent business information. Inconsistent details across directories are the most common reason a business is described wrongly, or not at all.
None of this takes long to do. It just needs doing, correctly, once.
Included
What the price covers
- A profile that is actually completeCategories chosen deliberately, services listed, hours right, description written, photos uploaded. Most profiles are half filled and it shows.
- Search Console verified and readingProperty set up, sitemap submitted, and any indexing problems found at the start rather than discovered later.
- Bing done tooSkipped almost universally, and increasingly a mistake: Bing's index feeds answer engines that a growing share of people ask instead of searching.
- Consistent details everywhereOne pass to make sure your business name, location and contact details match across the places that repeat them.
- Handover notes you can useWhat exists, where it is, what to do monthly, and what to ignore. Written for the owner rather than for another agency.
- No lock inEvery account in your name from the start. Removing our access takes you one click and breaks nothing.
The honest bit
What this cannot do
Search setup is foundational rather than magical. Two boundaries stated plainly, because the businesses that get value from this are the ones who understood what they bought.
Rankings
Nobody can sell you a position, and anyone offering to is selling something else. What this buys is that the foundations are correct, which is a precondition for ranking rather than a cause of it.
- Foundations set up properly
- Problems found and reported
- No ranking promises
- No ongoing optimisation
Reviews
We set the profile up so reviews land somewhere useful and are easy to leave. Earning them is your job, and any service claiming otherwise is generating fake ones.
- Profile configured to receive reviews
- A review link provided for you to share
- We do not write or source reviews
- We do not remove negative ones

Terms in plain English
What you are agreeing to, without the legal register
The whole point of this product is that you end up owning something. These are the clauses that make sure of it, in the words we would use across a table.
- Every account is created in your nameYou are the owner from the first day. We are added as a manager for as long as the work takes and removed at the end unless you ask us to stay.
- Nothing is filmed, written or claimed on your behalfWe do not create content for the profile beyond what you supply, and we never post as you.
- We will tell you if you do not need thisIf your setup is already correct we say so and we will not invent work to justify the fee.
- The postcard is Google's, not oursVerification timing is outside anyone's control and the figure above covers our work rather than their post.
- No monthly anythingThis is a one off. Nothing renews, and no subscription starts quietly at the end of it.
- The rest is on the terms pagePayment, access and liability are set out in full on the terms and conditions. Read those rather than a summary of them.

Bespoke
More locations than one profile covers?
This is written for a single business at a single address. Several branches, a service area rather than a shopfront, more than one trading name, or a business moving address with listings scattered across years of directories. When that is the shape of it we look at what already exists and scope it rather than setting up one profile and calling it done.
Quotes are prepared individually. Send us the shape of the problem and we come back with scope, timings and a fixed figure, usually within one business day.
- Multiple branches or locations
- Service area businesses with no shopfront
- More than one trading name
- Businesses changing address
- Cleaning up years of inconsistent listings

Questions
Before you order
You do, from the start. Everything is created in your name with you as the owner, and we are added as a manager only for as long as the work takes. You can remove our access the day it finishes and nothing breaks. Any agency that creates these under its own account is holding something of yours, and you should ask them why.
The work itself takes about 5 working days. The variable is Google, which usually verifies a business profile by posting a physical postcard to your address. Everything else is done while that is in transit, and the profile goes fully live once you enter the code.
Not on its own, and we will not pretend otherwise. What it reliably does is make you findable by name, eligible to appear in local results, and legible to search engines and answer engines that would otherwise hold inconsistent information about you.
Direct traffic from Bing is small for most businesses, which is why almost everybody skips it. The reason it is in here is that Bing's index feeds several AI answer engines, and a growing share of people now ask a question rather than running a search. Being absent from that index is a quiet way of being absent from those answers, and it takes minutes to set up.
No. We configure the profile so reviews land properly and give you the direct link to share, but earning them is your job. Anyone selling review generation is either automating requests you could send yourself or producing fake ones, and the second is a good way to lose the profile.
Usually yes, because most existing profiles are half completed: wrong or missing categories, no services listed, an empty description and no photos. We take over what exists rather than starting again, and add the Console, Bing and consistency work that rarely accompanies a profile claimed years ago.
No. It is a one off setup and then it is yours, with notes on the handful of things worth doing monthly. We would rather sell you a small thing once than a small thing forever.
Yes, and it is the reason this product exists. Our own profile, Search Console, Bing verification and directory consistency were all set up exactly this way, and the rating on this page comes from that profile. It is a short list of things we already know works because we did it to ourselves first.
Why it works
Search setup in practice
Why the boring foundations outperform the clever tactics
A great deal of money is spent on search work sitting on top of foundations nobody checked. If your details differ across three directories, if your sitemap was never submitted, or if half your pages are not indexed, every clever thing above that works against a handicap. Fixing the base is unglamorous, cheap and the highest return work available to most small businesses, precisely because so few do it.
What consistency actually means to a machine
Search engines and answer engines build a picture of your business from every mention of it they can find. When those mentions disagree about your name, your location or how to contact you, confidence in all of them drops. It is not that one wrong listing does damage in isolation, it is that the disagreement itself makes you a less reliable thing to cite. One pass to make them all say the same thing is worth more than it sounds.
Why we hand everything over
The most common reason a business cannot leave its agency is that the agency owns the accounts. We set everything up in your name because the alternative is a form of lock in, and because a client who stays by choice is worth more than one who stays because leaving is painful.
Not sure whether you need this? Tell us what already exists and we will say plainly whether it is worth buying.
Small, quick, and the thing most businesses wish they had done sooner
Every account in your name, handed over with notes, and no monthly fee attached.
