Put Your Business on the Map. Keep It There.

Your Gearfire website helps customers buy online.

Gearfire Boost helps local customers find you before they ever get there.

Every day, customers search Google for businesses like yours before deciding where to go, who to call, or where to buy. They are not just looking for products. They are looking for a business they can trust.

If they find outdated hours, the wrong phone number, missing services, or inconsistent information across platforms, they will often move on to the next dealer.

Gearfire Boost helps prevent that. By keeping your business information accurate and synchronized across Google, Apple Maps, Facebook, Bing, and more than 50 trusted online directories, Boost helps customers find the right information wherever they search.

Update your information once. Boost keeps it synchronized everywhere.

Available as an optional add-on for Gearfire Pro and Gearfire Essentials.

Why Add Gearfire Boost?

Your Gearfire eCommerce website and your local business presence work together. Your website helps customers browse inventory and place orders. Boost helps them discover your business in the first place.

When your listings are accurate and complete, customers are more likely to:

  • Find your business in local and near me searches
  • Call your store directly from search results
  • Request directions and walk in
  • Visit your website and browse before buying
  • Schedule services like FFL transfers, gunsmithing, or archery work

It is one of the simplest ways to strengthen your local online presence without adding another system to manage.

  • Business hours and holiday hours
  • Phone number and website

Whether you change your hours, add a new service, or update your contact information, Boost keeps everything consistent wherever customers search.

How Gearfire Boost Works

Step 1: Connect Your Google Business Profile

Boost requires a verified Google Business Profile. If you already have one, you are ready to go. If not, you need to start a new Google Business Profile before your trial begins. Storefronts with a physical address generally see the strongest results, but qualified service-area businesses are also eligible.

Step 2: Gearfire Sets Up Your Account

Once we have manager access to your Google Business Profile, Gearfire adds your business to Boost and turns on syncing. Your listings begin distributing across the Boost network immediately. You receive access to your own Boost dashboard to view and manage your profile.

Step 3: Complete Your Business Profile

Boost works best with complete, accurate information. That means current hours, service categories, photos, social links, and a clear description of what your business offers. Boost provides a profile completeness score with suggestions so you know exactly what to add. The more complete your profile, the stronger your local visibility.

Step 4: Boost Keeps It Current

Make a change once in your Boost dashboard, and it updates across every connected directory automatically. No logging in to Google, then Apple Maps, then Bing separately. One update, everywhere.

Built for Dealers Who Serve Customers Locally

Boost is designed for businesses that interact with customers in person.

Great fit

  • Gun stores and firearms retailers
  • Archery shops and archery ranges
  • Shooting ranges
  • Outdoor and hunting retailers
  • FFL transfer dealers
  • Gunsmiths and firearm service providers
  • Firearm instructors and class operators
  • Archery technicians and service providers
  • Service-area businesses that meet customers by appointment

Not a good fit

Businesses that operate exclusively online without a physical storefront or a qualifying Google Service Area Business setup are not eligible for Boost.

A verified Google Business Profile is required before Boost can be activated. Google prioritizes businesses with a verified physical address. Storefront dealers generally see stronger local visibility results than service-area businesses, though qualified service-area dealers can still benefit.

What to Expect

Boost focuses on local visibility, not broad search engine optimization. As your listings become more complete and synchronized, within 30 to 90 days, most active subscribers see improvements in:

  • Google Business Profile impressions
  • Google Maps visibility
  • Website clicks from local search
  • Phone calls and direction requests
  • Listing accuracy and consistency across 50+ directories

Results vary based on your location, competition, and the completeness of your business profile. Boost works best as a foundational layer that supports your other marketing efforts. It protects against customer loss due to inaccurate information and strengthens local credibility, which makes everything else work better.

What Boost Does Not Do

Boost is intentionally focused on local listing management. It does not:

  • Improve product rankings in your Gearfire eCommerce store
  • Replace dedicated SEO services
  • Replace paid advertising
  • Guarantee Google rankings
  • Guarantee increased sales or revenue

Instead, Boost strengthens the local foundation that helps customers discover your business and find accurate information before they decide where to shop.

What Is Included

Every Gearfire Boost subscription includes:

  • Google Business Profile integration
  • Synchronization across 50+ online directories
  • Local visibility analytics
  • Listing accuracy management
  • Visibility and profile completeness reporting
  • One central dashboard for managing all business information

New Gearfire Pro and Essentials customers receive Boost free for the first six months.

After your trial, Boost continues for $25 per month unless you cancel. Billing begins automatically after six months.

Boost requires active engagement to deliver results. Dealers who do not complete their profile setup within 45 days of activation may be removed from the trial.

What is Gearfire Boost?

Gearfire Boost is a local listings and visibility tool for independent outdoor and firearms retailers. It keeps business information, including hours, phone numbers, addresses, and service details, accurate and synchronized across 50+ online directories, including Google, Facebook, Apple Maps, and Waze.

Dealers manage their information in one place, and Boost distributes updates automatically everywhere customers search. It is available to Gearfire eCommerce customers on both Pro and Essentials plans, requires a verified Google Business Profile, and is free for the first six months. After that, it is $25 per month.

Boost is a local presence management tool. It is not a broad SEO platform and does not influence product page rankings or national organic search.
