Maranatha Tech Solutions
Maranatha Tech Solutions, a leading provider of IT services and technology solutions, approached me on 29 September 2025 with the goal of improving their local digital visibility and connecting with more businesses in need of reliable IT services. They specialize in providing managed IT services, network solutions, and technology consulting. The challenge was to increase their local presence and drive more qualified leads. My role in this project was focused on Google Business Profile (GBP) Optimization to help enhance their local rankings and online visibility.
Client’s Goals & Initial Challenges
Before engaging in this project, Maranatha Tech Solutions faced several challenges:
Limited Local Search Visibility: They were not ranking high in local search results for relevant IT services, which affected their ability to connect with potential customers in their service areas.
Unoptimized GBP: Their Google Business Profile had not been fully optimized, meaning they missed out on the potential to appear in local searches and Google Maps, which are critical for service-based businesses.
Lack of Customer Engagement: With an underutilized GBP, they were unable to engage effectively with potential clients who were actively searching for IT services online.
No Reviews or Testimonials: The lack of reviews and social proof made it difficult to build trust with potential customers searching for reliable tech solutions.
The main goal was to improve local visibility on Google, increase customer engagement, and enhance their overall digital presence.
Approach & Strategy
To address Maranatha Tech Solutions’ challenges, We focused on optimizing their Google Business Profile (GBP) to increase their local search visibility and improve engagement with potential clients.
Google Business Profile (GBP) Optimization
GBP is crucial for businesses like Maranatha Tech Solutions, where local visibility directly impacts leads and conversions. We began by optimizing their GBP in the following key areas:
Crafted a keyword-rich business description that clearly articulated their IT services, such as managed services, network solutions, and technology consulting, while targeting local search terms.
Uploaded high-quality images showcasing their team, office, and work environment to help potential clients connect with their brand.
Ensured consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) information across their profile and other online directories to improve local SEO.
Published regular updates and posts to keep the GBP profile active, sharing their latest services, offerings, and promotions to engage with customers.
Optimized service listings to ensure they were correctly categorized and highlighted the services most relevant to their target audience.
Developed a strategy for generating reviews to build trust and improve their profile’s credibility. This was key to influencing potential customers’ decisions.
These improvements led to better visibility on Google search results and maps, resulting in increased profile views, calls, and inquiries.
Enhanced Customer Engagement
With GBP optimization, We also worked on improving engagement on the profile. By posting regular updates, promotions, and sharing customer feedback, I helped to:
Increase customer interaction by engaging them through posts, responses to inquiries, and sharing industry insights.
Build brand trust by encouraging existing clients to leave reviews, which contributed to improved rankings and customer confidence.
Enhanced Customer Engagement
Once the GBP optimizations were in place, We helped Maranatha Tech Solutions track and monitor their performance using Google Insights. This allowed us to:
Track profile views and customer actions (calls, website visits, requests for directions) to measure the success of the optimization efforts.
Refine strategies based on data, ensuring continuous improvement and maintaining the relevance of their online presence.
