Know the moment your
Google profile changes.

Notify-only: we watch and alert, but never edit your profile. You stay in control. $49/month.

Subscribe & get notified

Check out at $49/month and monitoring begins. We check every 6 hours and email you the moment a monitored field changes — with your trusted value and exactly what to do next. Here's the kind of report you'll get each month:

Why monitoring matters
Google doesn't always
ask permission.

Anyone — including your competitors — can suggest changes to your Google profile. Google often accepts them automatically, without notifying you. These aren't hypothetical risks. They happen to real businesses every day.

📞
Phone number replaced

A wrong number or a competitor's number gets swapped in. Every customer call goes nowhere. You find out when the phone stops ringing — not when it changed.

Documented in Google Support forums
🔒
Marked permanently closed

A few coordinated suggestions from competitors is all it takes. Google accepts the change. Your business disappears from search results and shows a "permanently closed" label to every potential customer who finds it.

Drops you out of the map pack immediately
🕐
Hours changed silently

Google overrides your hours based on user reports or its own data signals. Customers show up when you're closed. One-star reviews follow. You had no idea the hours were wrong.

Most reported GBP issue online
📍
Address or pin moved

Your map pin gets shifted. Navigation sends customers somewhere else. Your business drops out of neighborhood search results. One documented case caused complete map pack disappearance within hours.

Immediate impact on local rankings
🏷️
Category quietly changed

Google changes "Italian Restaurant" to "Restaurant." You stop appearing in Italian food searches overnight. No notification. No explanation. Your impressions drop and you don't know why.

Invisible ranking damage
🛡️
Profile Sidekick catches all of it.

We watch every monitored field on your profile around the clock. The moment something changes, we email you what changed, your trusted value, and exactly what to check — usually within hours, before customers see wrong information.

What you get
Monitoring that does one job
and does it well.

Profile Sidekick is notify-only: we watch your Google profile and tell you the moment something changes. We never post, reply, or edit anything on it — you stay in control of every change.

🛡️
24/7 profile monitoring

We check your Google Business Profile every 6 hours and compare ten critical fields against your trusted baseline — phone number, hours, address, primary category, open/closed status, business name, website, special hours, and your ownership signals.

📨
Instant change alerts

The moment a monitored field changes, we email you what changed, the previous trusted value, and how serious it is. Critical changes — phone, hours, address, open/closed status — are flagged right away.

🧭
Clear next steps

Every alert tells you exactly what to check in your Google Business Profile, and when it makes sense to contact Google support. Plain English, no jargon — so you can act fast.

🔖
Your trusted baseline

You confirm the correct values once during setup. That baseline is what we watch against, so every alert can show you exactly what changed and what it should be.

📊
Monthly monitoring report

A plain-English email each month: how many checks ran, what changed, and which alerts we sent — a clear record that your profile stayed watched all month.

🔌
Reconnect reminders

If Google ever drops our read access, we let you know right away — so monitoring never goes quiet without you knowing.

FAQ
A few things people ask.
Can competitors really change my Google profile?

Yes — and it's more common than most owners realize. Anyone can click "Suggest an edit" on any Google Business Profile and propose changes to hours, phone numbers, addresses, or even mark a business as permanently closed. Google frequently accepts these automatically, especially from high-trust accounts. Profile Sidekick monitors for exactly this and emails you the moment anything changes.

What happens when you detect a change?

You get an email within hours telling you exactly what changed — for example, "Your phone number changed from (617) 555-0142 to an unknown number" — along with your trusted value and what to check in Google. Critical changes like your phone number or open/closed status are flagged right away, not held for a daily digest.

Do you fix or change my profile for me?

No — and that's the point. Profile Sidekick is notify-only: we watch your Google profile and tell you what changed, but we never write to it. No posts, no review responses, no profile edits — you stay in full control and make any change yourself in Google, guided by exactly what our alert tells you to check. (Owner-approved corrections may come in a later version.)

Is Google okay with this?

Yes. Profile Sidekick connects through Google's official "Sign in with Google" — the same button you've used on other websites. We use that access only to read your Business Profile for monitoring; we never write to it. You can disconnect us at any time from your Google account settings.

Which fields do you watch?

The ten that hurt most when they're wrong: your phone number, hours, address, open/closed status, primary category, business name, website, special hours, and your ownership and duplicate-listing signals. We check them all against your trusted baseline every 6 hours.

How long does setup take?

Under five minutes. Sign in with Google, pick your location, confirm your baseline, and subscribe. Monitoring starts right after your first successful check — no calls, no configuration, no technical knowledge required.

Your Google profile could be
changing right now.

If it does, Profile Sidekick will catch it — and email you what changed, your trusted value, and what to do. Start monitoring your profile in under five minutes.
