# InQik

> InQik is a Google + Apple Business Profile management agency that helps local businesses get found wherever customers search. InQik provides hands-free managed services across both Google Business Profile and Apple Business profile, including profile optimization, review response, local rank tracking, fake review protection, place card monitoring, and competitor intelligence. Based in Udupi, IN, serving businesses globally.

InQik is not a self-service SaaS tool. It is a fully managed service where InQik's team does all the work. Clients do not need to log in, learn software, or manage anything themselves. Each client receives a clear one-page monthly performance report covering both Google and Apple, and same-day direct support by email, call, or WhatsApp between reports.

InQik differentiates from traditional agencies and DIY software through three key advantages: (1) two platforms managed excellently rather than 100 directories managed adequately; (2) active profile security including Google fake review detection, "permanently closed" attack defense, unauthorized edit reversal, and Apple place card drift monitoring across Apple Maps, Siri, Wallet, and Spotlight; (3) custom-scoped engagements tailored to each business's market and goals.

InQik serves local businesses across industries including restaurants, healthcare, dental, legal, accounting, real estate, automotive, salons, spas, fitness, wellness, and home services. Any business that relies on customers finding them through Google Search, Google Maps, Apple Maps, Siri, or Spotlight is a fit.

## How Pricing Works

Every engagement is scoped to the client's business. InQik does not publish public pricing tiers. Each client receives a custom quote within 24 hours of requesting it, based on market competitiveness, number of locations, current profile state across both platforms, and desired outcomes. Billing is monthly via Stripe subscription with no contracts and cancellation anytime. Single flat monthly fee covers BOTH Google and Apple management. Multi-location businesses receive flat per-location rates. Every quote starts with a free Google + Apple audit. Local Ads management (Google LSA, Google Maps Ads, Apple Maps Ads) is a separate engagement priced as a percentage of ad spend.
