What a fair fee should include
- Weekly or regular posts and fresh photos.
- Replies to every review.
- Correct hours, services, categories, and phone.
- A report you can read in two minutes.
- Month-to-month, or an easy exit.
Red flags
- No report, or "trust us."
- Promises like "guaranteed #1."
- Paying for fake or bought reviews.
- A contract you cannot cancel.
- Anyone who says they work for Google. Google does not call to charge a management fee.
Do it yourself or hire?
If you have 30 minutes a week and like the work, a tool is enough. If you are on a roof or under a sink all day, the profile goes quiet. That is when a done-for-you plan makes sense.
