Meet Jarrod
My name is Jarrod Partridge and I run Pear Tree Media. I spent the past decade building and ranking high-traffic websites, growing them from a single page into networks that drew thousands of readers a day. That work meant living inside Google's ranking signals daily: search, content and the small technical details that decide who shows up first.
I now point that same skill set at Google Business Profiles for local businesses, in Mildura and anywhere else in Australia. The work is the same as it always was: give Google accurate, current information about a business, and keep giving it, week after week.
I work directly with every client, so you deal with the person doing the work, not an account manager three steps removed.
What We Do
Pear Tree Media manages Google Business Profiles for local businesses across Australia. Three posts a week, every review answered by hand, photos kept current, and the details Google actually reads kept correct: categories, services, hours, map pin and the page your listing links to.
I do not promise you a position. Google does not sell them and does not disclose how it sets them. What I promise is the work, done every week, and a monthly report showing where your business comes up across your area and where it drops off.
Why Your Profile Counts
There is a second reason your profile is worth managing well. Google's own AI answers local questions straight out of Business Profiles. Ask it for a plumber nearby and it reads the hours, the reviews and the photos off the listing itself. Whatever is on yours is what it repeats, right or wrong.
I work with trades, clinics, retailers and other local businesses who would rather run their business than wrestle with Google. I am in Mildura and I work with businesses anywhere in Australia.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Google Business Profile help with SEO?
Yes. Your profile is one of the strongest signals Google uses to rank local businesses in Maps and the local pack. Complete categories, regular posts, photos at the right image size and steady reviews all feed Google Business Profile SEO and lift where you appear.
What should I do if my Google Business Profile is suspended?
Stop making further edits, as repeated changes can slow a review. Read the suspension notice, correct the underlying cause, then follow Google's reinstatement form. Most cases trace back to address, category or duplicate-listing problems.
How do I add a user to my Google Business Profile?
Open your profile, go to Business Profile settings, then People and access, and add the person's Google email as a Manager or Owner. If you would rather not hand over Owner access, you can add Pear Tree Media as a Manager and remove that access at any time.
How do I change my Google Business Profile photo, and what size should it be?
Search your business name while signed in, select Edit profile, then Photos. Use a square logo around 720 by 720 pixels, with cover and post images at 1200 by 900 pixels or larger, in JPG or PNG. Clear, recent photos tend to earn more views and clicks.
How do I find my Google Business Profile ID?
Search your business name while signed in and open your profile. The Business Profile ID appears in the profile web address as a long number. Developers can also retrieve it through the Google Business Profile API.
How do I delete a Google Business Profile?
From the profile, open Business Profile settings, then Remove profile, and choose to remove profile content and managers. This removes your management of the listing, though the listing can stay on Maps. If you are closing or merging a business, the order you do things in matters, because reviews and rankings can be lost along the way.
