In this episode, Jules White sits down with photographer Becky Kerr for a live Google Business Profile audit, working through the simple, practical changes that help Google understand a business and send it the right kind of work.

Becky's photography is wonderfully varied, from commercial shoots for big brands through to events and awards, and Jules shows how getting the profile and website working together helps the right clients find her. They look at Becky's categories, spotting that "photography studio" didn't fit how she actually works and that "advertising photographer" could serve her better. Jules also walks through adding services and products properly, with descriptions and links through to the right pages, and explains why niching by location helps you stand out even when your work takes you all over.

Key Takeaways:

• Getting Your Categories Right: Learn why your primary and supporting categories matter, and how to spot one that might be quietly working against you.
• The Free Tool Jules Uses: Discover how the GMB Everywhere plugin helps you see your categories and the services Google associates with them.
• Services and Products: Understand how to add these to your profile properly, with descriptions and links through to the right pages on your website.
• Building Supporting Pages: Learn how to build out service pages that reinforce what you are telling Google, one page at a time.
• Niching by Location: Find out why focusing on an area helps you stand out, even when your work is broad.
• Sustainable Action: Jules reminds you that consistent, little-and-often effort beats relentless bursts that fizzle out.

If your Google Business Profile is sitting half-finished, or you have never quite known what to do with it, this episode gives you a calm, clear place to start.

Ever feel like your business should be easier to find on Google & in AI search?

You’re not imagining it - most local businesses already have a Google Business Profile, but it’s sitting there, half-filled and hidden. That means people searching for your exact services might be finding your competitors instead.

The good news is you don’t need to spend hours posting on social media to fix it. A few intentional updates to your Google Business Profile can make a big difference in how often you show up in Maps and local searches.

That’s where my Local Google Visibility Checklist comes in.
It gives you a clear, practical list of things to review and update - all the small changes that help Google trust your business and make it easier for nearby clients to find and book you.
