What exactly is a Google Business Profile?
A Google Business Profile is the information about your business that appears on Google Search and Google Maps. It can show customers important details like your business hours, phone number, website, location, photos, services, customer reviews, and updates. It's one of the ways people find out about your business when they're searching online.
Do I need to have an existing Google Business Profile?
Yes. The Holiday Booster is designed to improve and update an existing Google Business Profile. If you don't have one yet, don't worry! SparkDog can help you get one set up for an additional fee. Just let us know, and we'll discuss the next steps.
What if I don't know how to give you access to my Google Business Profile?
No problem! You don't need to share your Google password. We'll walk you through the simple steps to add SparkDog as an authorized manager of your profile. If you get stuck, we'll help you along the way.
Do I have to pay monthly?
No! The Google Holiday Booster is a one-time purchase. There are no monthly fees or ongoing commitments. If you'd like SparkDog to continue creating and publishing Google posts for your business after the Booster ends, you can choose one of our optional Monthly Google Posting Plans.
Are Google posts guaranteed to appear immediately?
No. Google reviews and processes posts before they appear on your Business Profile. Most posts are published without a problem, but timing can vary. Google controls the review and publishing process, so we can't guarantee exactly when a post will appear.
Do you guarantee improved Google rankings?
No. We can improve the quality, accuracy, and completeness of your Google Business Profile and help keep it active with fresh, relevant posts. However, Google decides which businesses appear in search results and where they appear. No one can honestly guarantee a particular ranking, more calls, or more customers.
What happens if I don't have photos?
No worries! SparkDog has access to thousands of stock images and photos that can be used for your Google posts at no additional cost to you. We'll select images that fit your business and the message we're sharing. If you have your own photos, we're happy to use those, too!
Can I choose which holidays or promotions to feature?
Absolutely! You know your business and your customers best. Let us know which holidays, seasonal events, special offers, or promotions you'd like to highlight. We'll work with your preferences to create posts that make sense for your business.
What happens after January 2, 2027?
Your Google Holiday Booster campaign ends January 2, 2027. Any unused posts expire at that time and cannot be carried over or exchanged for a refund. But that doesn't mean we're saying goodbye! SparkDog offers a variety of services to help your business improve its online presence and grow in 2027. Take a look at our optional Monthly Google Posting Plans or explore our other services to see how we can help.
Can I continue with monthly posting services in 2027?
Absolutely! If you'd like to keep your Google Business Profile active with fresh posts throughout the year, SparkDog offers several Monthly Google Posting Plans to choose from. There's no obligation to continue after your Holiday Booster. You can review the options and choose the plan that works best for your business.
