Google Business Profile
Google Business Profile Optimization for Map Pack Calls.
You have plenty of happy customers and a handful of reviews, the newest from last year. The profile still shows one category, six old photos and wrong holiday hours, so it reads like a business that may be closed. We fix the categories, services, photos and posts, and start a review routine.
- The map pack is decided by three things you control: relevance (categories and services), prominence (reviews and mentions), and completeness. Most profiles are half filled.
- Recent reviews matter more than old ones. A profile with four new reviews a month beats one with two hundred from 2021.
- The profile and the website have to say the same name, address, phone, and services. Mismatches cost rankings quietly.
What keeps the phone quiet
Why your profile isn’t in the map pack.
Wrong or missing categories
A plumber listed only as “Contractor,” an HVAC company with no “Air conditioning repair service” category. Google ranks profiles by category first. One wrong choice keeps you out of every search that matters.
Stale and thin
No posts since 2023, six photos from the day it was made, no services listed, hours that are wrong on holidays. Google reads that as a business that may not be open. Customers do too.
Reviews nobody asked for
Two hundred happy customers and eleven reviews, the newest a year old. Prominence is reviews and recency. Without a routine for asking, the profile ages out of the map pack.
“Absolutely outstanding. No matter the time of the day if I have a question I get quick responses. Highly recommend”
What you get
Built to book the job.
Setup or cleanup
Claimed, verified, duplicates removed, and the business type set correctly, including service-area businesses that do not want an address shown.
Categories and services
The right primary category and every secondary that applies, with each service listed and described.
Photos, posts, and Q&A
Real photos of your work and crew, a posting routine, and the questions customers ask answered on the profile before they ask.
A review routine
Requests after every job with a direct link, every review answered. With Grow it runs automatically.
Matched to your website
Same name, address, phone, hours, and services on the profile, the site, and every directory, so Google sees one business.
Tracking
Calls, direction requests, and website clicks from the profile, reported monthly next to the map pack position in the towns you serve.

“Exceptional service from an exceptional group!”
Zach SonnierGoogle review, 2026 “Mr clint is an amazing guy who is extremely professional and responsive, when it comes to the service he provides. His website building and promoting skills are top tier.”
nicholas mcdowellGoogle review, 2026 “We had a great experience working with BlakSheep Creative! Clint was professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He was always willing to help and made sure everything was taken care of. We truly appreciate his work and would definitely recommend BlakSheep Creative to anyone looking for a great website company!”
alejandra serranoGoogle review, 2026 “Clint took my company's project much further than I ever expected. His tech experience was fantastic, but even more than that, he guided me in directions I hadn't anticipated. We hadn't planned on some of the changes he suggested, but he made it all bigger, better and bolder.”
Christy GilfourGoogle review, 2026 “Clint and the team at Blaksheep have truly exceeded our expectations. From day one, the communication was clear, prompt, and professional. We were never left guessing where things stood. The work they've done on our website and social media presence has been outstanding.it looks great, functions seamlessly, and really captures the essence of our brand. We're so grateful to have found a team that combines creative talent with such reliability and responsiveness. We're genuinely excited to continue growing with Blaksheep and can't recommend them highly enough!"”
Brandon CurryGoogle review, 2026 “Shoutout to our IT wizard for fixing our work email and saving us all from a slow descent into chaos, carrier pigeons, and “did you get my message?” debates. He calmly swooped in, pushed some mysterious buttons only he understands, and—like magic—emails started working again. No dramatic sighs. No eye-rolling (at least not where we could see it). Just quiet competence and the subtle confidence of someone who knows we would’ve absolutely made it worse if we tried ourselves. Emails are flowing. Productivity is restored. Sanity levels have stabilized.”
Becky WardGoogle review, 2026 “I cannot RAVE and PRAISE enough about who Clint is as a person AND the amount of talent he holds. Genuine, funny, relaxed, and could not have asked for a better graphic designer to work with. When everyone else didn’t meet the expectations I needed for a really personal project, Clint exceeded above and beyond. THANK YOU to this man and the quality work he resulted me with. I will FOREVER use him in any and all design projects going forward!!!”
Megan TheriotGoogle review, 2026 ““BlakSheep Creative has completely changed how customers find my business.” Before working with Clint and the team, we were basically invisible online. Now we rank at the top of Google for all our core services — brush clearing, forestry mulching, land development — you name it. The leads we get are not just more frequent, they’re better quality. They took the time to understand our business, explained what they were doing in plain English, and followed through with results that speak for themselves. Couldn’t be happier with the service and support. If you own a service business in Livingston Parish and want to grow, this is the crew to call. – Adam Hodges Owner, Hodges Land Management Livingston, Louisiana”
