We Help Businesses Get Found on Google and Apple
InQik is a local profile management company. We handle Google Business Profile and Apple Business profile optimization, review response, rank tracking, and daily monitoring so local businesses show up when customers search on Google, Apple Maps, Siri, and wherever customers look next.
We started by studying the data
We built infrastructure to study Google Business Profiles at scale. When we ran it across 13,859 US local businesses, the same patterns kept surfacing in every vertical.
27% of profiles were unclaimed or unverified. Half showed fewer than 10 visible photos. 1 in 4 had no website linked. Only 17% offered all five basic contact methods. Owners were paying Instagram managers while the Google profile where customers actually decide sat broken.
We started publishing the research, one report at a time, under CC BY 4.0. Then owners began asking whether we could fix the profiles we were studying. InQik is the service arm of that work.
Based in Udupi, IN. Serving local businesses globally. Every claim on this site traces back to the data at insights.inqik.com.
How We Work
A clear, repeatable process. No guesswork, no black boxes.
Audit
We run a 25-point audit on your Google Business Profile AND Apple Business profile to find gaps in completeness, photos, categories, attributes, and Q&A.
Optimize
We fix every gap on both platforms. We rewrite descriptions, add structured data, upload photos, set service areas, and claim missing features.
Protect
We monitor your Google profile daily for unauthorized edits, fake reviews, and competitor attacks. We monitor your Apple presence for place card drift and accuracy issues. Instant alerts when something changes.
Track & Report
We track your local rankings daily on Google with GPS heatmaps, monitor 4 competitors, and deliver monthly reports covering both Google and Apple performance.

Our Vision
To become the most trusted local profile management company in the world, known for honesty, measurable outcomes, and innovative approaches to local business visibility across every platform that matters.
What We Stand For
These principles guide every decision we make and every interaction we have.
Data Over Guesswork
Every decision is backed by analytics: rank heatmaps, review sentiment data, and profile performance metrics.
Honesty Over Hype
We promise what we can deliver. No guaranteed rankings, no misleading claims. We are upfront about what we control and what we do not.
Partnership Over Transactions
We build long-term relationships, not one-time fixes. Your growth is our success, and we prove it every month.
Action Over Talk
We do the work first, then report. Monthly deliverables you can see, not vague strategy decks.
Continuous Improvement
Google and Apple change constantly. We adapt our processes, tools, and strategies to stay ahead.
Excellence in Everything
From a single review response to a full multi-location rollout, quality is non-negotiable.
Platform-Agnostic
We follow customers, not platforms. Google today, Apple growing fast, AI search next. We manage where your customers actually look.
Who We Work With
Any category. Any country. If a customer searches for you on Google, we can manage, protect, and grow that profile. Below is a representative sample of the industries we work in, not a limit.
Not on the grid? That list is a sample, not a filter. We work with local businesses in every category, from independent studios to multi-location groups, in every country where Google or Apple Business profiles exist. Tell us about yours.

Think About Your Own Behavior
When was the last time you found a new restaurant, dentist, or service provider on Instagram vs. searching “[service] near me” on Google or Apple Maps? For most people, discovery happens on Google and Apple, not social media. That's why your Google and Apple Business presence matters more than any other online surface.
