Show up for “removal near me”

1. Claim & verify Google Business Profile

Sign in at business.google.com, claim DropShift Transport, and finish verification (postcard / video / phone as Google offers).

2. Match NAP exactly (Name · Address · Phone)

Use the same details everywhere — website, Google, WhatsApp and directories:

• Name: DropShift Transport
• Phone: +44 7353 086191
• Area: East London (service-area business is fine if you hide a street address)
• Website: https://dropshift.co.uk/

3. Categories & services

Primary category: Moving company or Man with a van service. Add services: house removals, furniture delivery, office removals, pallet delivery, same-day courier.

4. Service areas

Add East London boroughs first (Hackney, Newham/Stratford, Redbridge/Ilford, Tower Hamlets, Waltham Forest, Havering/Romford), then Greater London / UK as you cover them.

5. Photos (weekly)

Upload real van, crew, loading and job photos — Google favours fresh, original images over stock.

6. Reviews

Ask every happy customer for a Google review. Reply to every review. Share your short review link from the profile.

7. Posts & Q&A

Post weekly offers or tips (“same-day man and van”, “sofa delivery”). Seed Q&A with real answers (insured? tail lift? East London based?).

8. Directories (citations)

List the same NAP on Yell, Bark, Checkatrade, Thomson Local, Facebook and Bing Places — never invent a different phone number.

9. Optional paid boost

Google Local Services Ads or Search ads for “man and van London” / “removals near me” put you in the sponsored row faster while organic reviews build.

10. Website links (already live)

We already ship area pages, near-me content, LocalBusiness schema, sitemap and Google links on the site. Keep the Business Profile URL the same as the site footer.
