In this workshop, you’ll discover a straightforward 10-step checklist designed specifically for painting contractors to help you optimize your Google Business Profile.
Mastering Your Google Business Profile for Painters
In this informative webinar, Matt Parsons from Sharp Line Marketing walks painting contractors through the essentials of optimizing a Google Business Profile for painters. This 30 to 40-minute session is packed with actionable strategies that can help painters enhance their local visibility, attract more customers, and generate higher-quality leads.
Why Google Business Profile Matters for Painters
The webinar emphasizes that while social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram are useful, many painters overlook the power of their Google Business Profile. Unlike social platforms that often require pay-to-play strategies to reach followers, a well-optimized Google Business Profile helps painting contractors appear in local search results exactly when potential customers—referred to as “today buyers”—are ready to make a hiring decision.
Key Lessons for Painting Contractors
- Google’s Local Real Estate: Learn where your business can appear on Google: paid ads, the local map pack, and organic listings. The video highlights why the local map pack, where 33% of local clicks go, is essential for painters.
- Ranking Factors: Understand the core components that influence your local ranking—relevance, distance, and prominence. Matt explains how having complete, keyword-rich profiles and positive reviews increases visibility in the map pack.
- Importance of Reviews: The session stresses that reviews are critical for ranking your Google Business Profile. The more positive reviews you have, and the more actively you respond to them, the more trust you build with both Google and potential customers.
- 10-Step Optimization Checklist: The video outlines a practical, painter-specific checklist covering everything from selecting the right business category and listing all services (like cabinet painting and exterior painting) to uploading real project photos and using product listings creatively to showcase services.
- Using Heat Maps: Discover how third-party heat map tools can help visualize where your business ranks locally for key terms and identify areas needing improvement.
- Ongoing Best Practices: Learn five key principles for maintaining a top-performing profile, including frequent posting, responding professionally to reviews, and keeping your profile updated with new photos, offers, and service information.

- Appear in more local searches
