Frequently Asked Questions
How can my eco-conscious business show up on Google Maps in Austin?
To show up on Google Maps in Austin, your business needs an optimized Google Business Profile (GBP). That means using accurate categories, service area settings, and eco-focused keywords. I make sure your listing reflects what you really do — and helps the right local clients find you.
What is Google Business Profile and why does it matter for sustainable brands?
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is what shows up when people search for you — on Maps, local listings, or even “near me.” For sustainable brands, it’s a chance to control how your values show up online — from your eco certifications to your reviews.
I run a green business from home. Can I still rank locally in Austin?
Yes. You don’t need a storefront to show up in local search. If you offer services at your client’s location (like garden design, consulting, healing, etc.), we’ll list you as a Service Area Business, which still qualifies for Maps visibility.
What’s the best way to get more Google reviews for my eco services?
Ask clearly, make it easy, and time it right. I help clients set up review request systems that feel natural and reflect your brand’s voice — not spammy or forced.
Do I need a website if I have a Google Business Profile?
Short answer: it helps. Your GBP can get you far, but a site strengthens trust, helps you rank for more keywords, and lets you tell your full story. If your site needs some local SEO love, I can help.
How is local SEO different for eco-friendly or values-based businesses?
Most SEO firms chase clicks. I chase alignment. I help your business show up in the places where values-driven customers are looking — without using shady tricks or generic strategies.
What directories should Austin-based sustainable businesses be listed in?
In addition to Google, I help you get listed on high-value platforms like:
Apple Maps
Bing Places
Eco-conscious directories (GreenPages, Ethical.net, etc.)
Industry-specific sites (like Yelp, Houzz, Mindbody, etc.)
