1. Google Business Profile (human login required)

• Claim or regain access to the Mackay GBP (bot cannot log in).
• Primary category: Property maintenance service (or closest accurate match).
• Additional categories only if true: e.g. House cleaning service, Landscaper — do not add irrelevant categories.
• Services: mirror the live site (bond cleaning, handyman, lawn mowing, garden maintenance, exterior cleaning, etc.).
• Hours: Mon–Fri 9:00–16:00; mark weekends correctly.
• Phone: 07 4955 0992; booking link to https://www.greenmanservices.com.auContact.
• Website: https://www.greenmanservices.com.au/
• Description: plain AU English; no #1, no fake awards, no invented prices.
• Photos: upload real job and team photos from the site assets (lawns, cleaning, handyman, vehicles). Geotag Mackay if the tool allows.
• Products/services with TODO_PRICE only if Simon supplies real ranges — otherwise omit prices.
• Posts: occasional genuine updates (not keyword spam).

2. Reviews

• Respond to existing Google reviews (28 reviews @ 4.4 at last site lock — update the site if the live count changes).
• Ask happy customers for honest Google reviews — no incentives that breach Google policies.
• Create or confirm a **short review link** and replace TODO_GOOGLE_REVIEW_URL on Reviews and Thank You when Simon confirms it.
• Never fabricate reviews or star ratings.

3. Citations / directories (match NAP exactly)

Create or claim profiles where relevant — skip any directory that forces fake categories or paid “awards”:

• Localsearch
• Yellow Pages (Yellow Pages / Truelocal ecosystem as applicable)
• True Local
• Hotfrog
• Start Local
• OneLocal / similar AU local indexes if still active
• Facebook Page (already linked): confirm address, phone, hours match the site
• Instagram only if a real GreenMan account exists (TODO_INSTAGRAM — do not invent)

For each listing: same business name style, phone, email, hours, website with www + trailing slash, Mackay QLD 4740.

4. Search Console & analytics

• Confirm GSC property for https://www.greenmanservices.com.au/ (verification meta already on site — do not remove).
• Submit https://www.greenmanservices.com.au/sitemap.xml after deploy.
• Confirm GA4 **G-V9LBPD27T7** receiving hits.
• Inspect key URLs after go-live: /, Bond cleaning, Lawn mowing, Handyman, Property managers, suburb pages.

5. What the bot cannot do

Automated assistants **cannot** log into Google Business Profile, Google Accounts, or most directory owner dashboards. Simon or Mel must complete claim, verification PIN, postcard or phone, and review-link creation in a browser. This page is **noindex,nofollow** and excluded from the sitemap so it does not compete as public content.
