According to local search studies by BrightLocal and Whitespark's Local Search Ranking Factors, over 60% of local service clicks go directly to the Google Map Pack, yet 85% of small business profiles lack complete category, attribute, and citation optimization. Our team helps businesses in Ottawa (Kanata, Nepean, Barrhaven, and Orléans), Toronto, London, Ontario, and across North America dominate Google Maps, the Local 3-Pack, and AI search results.
As a dedicated Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) expert with 17+ years of experience, we optimize and manage your listing month-to-month to increase inbound phone calls, direction requests, website visits, and booked jobs—while strengthening your Local SEO and AI Search Optimization (AEO) authority.

Ranking in the Google Map Pack is the highest-converting way to generate local leads. Our Google Maps SEO strategies strengthen every signal Google and AI engines use to rank local businesses.
We begin with an exhaustive scan of your Google Business Profile and website ecosystem to align every local relevance signal.
Inconsistent contact details confuse both Google Maps and AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
We amplify your prominence across trusted Canadian, US, and industry-specific networks that search engines trust.
From HVAC and pest control contractors to Ottawa law firms and medical clinics, our Google Business Profile management clients routinely achieve Top-3 Map Pack rankings and 30%–200%+ increases in monthly calls and direction requests within 60 to 90 days.






We combine Google Business Profile optimization, Local SEO, localized content, and authority building into a transparent two-phase system that gets your phone ringing.
We research your highest-value local keywords and competitors, perform a complete Google Business Profile overhaul (categories, services, attributes, descriptions, geo-tagged photos), and lock your NAP information across top directories and data aggregators to protect your listing from hijackers.
In Month 2, real traction kicks in. We publish weekly keyword-rich promotional posts with custom images directly to your Google profile, build hyper-local citations, and execute tiered authority backlinks that reinforce your Map Pack relevance and AI search trust signals.
Once your Phase 1 foundation is complete, our monthly management keeps you at the top: weekly profile & core website monitoring, continuous weekly GBP posts, review response management, competitor map-spam fighting, and monthly local authority link building.
Claiming a free profile takes 10 minutes—ranking it in the Top 3 of a competitive market like Ottawa takes ongoing local authority engineering.

We’ve seen a noticeable increase in booked jobs since they started managing our Google Ads. Ottawa is a competitive market, but they’ve been able to bring in a steady flow of real leads. I’m very happy with the results and plan to keep working with them.Posted on Google![]()

I've been very satisfied with the SEO services provided by Profit Parrot for my Toronto-based company. In under half a year, our domain authority has increased and careful research into keywords we were lagging behind revealed opportunities to increase our total traffic volume, which has grown both impressions and traffic to our website noticeably. JM was a pleasure to work with and was highly consultative, and Faiz, our account manager, was highly responsive and educational, keeping me informed and updated on important page structure strategies, Google My Business optimization, and even AI search optimization. Furthermore, they don't require long term contracts, so they earn your business and trust month after month, which is different than many marketing companies which require upwards of a 1 year commitment before even starting.Posted on Google![]()

Profit Parrot helped us through the initial lease-up and long term stabilization of several coworking businesses, driving consistent traffic as the businesses shifted to maintain occupancy, steady revenue, and cover turnover. They worked with us on strategy, on-site execution, SEO, and Google Business Profile optimization for several years across multiple companies. JM, Lark, and the rest of the team at Profit Parrot are responsive, practical, and easy to work with. The results were clear in both visibility and lead generation. I’d recommend Profit Parrot to anyone looking for real, practical SEO and GBP support that actually drives results.Posted on Google![]()
