Google Business Profile
Google Business Profile setup and management
Your Google Business Profile, formerly Google My Business, is what shows up in Google Maps and the local results when people nearby search for what you do. We set it up right and keep it working for you month after month.
Setup done right
- Claim or create your profile. We find your existing listing or build a new one, and help you through Google's verification.
- The right categories. Your primary category has a big effect on which searches you show up for, so we choose it carefully.
- Services and service areas. Everything you offer and every area you cover, listed the way customers search for it.
- Hours, description, logo, and photos. A complete profile that looks professional and gives people a reason to call.
- Duplicate cleanup. Old or duplicate listings confuse Google and customers. We get them merged or removed.
Ongoing management
A profile isn't something you set up once and forget. We keep it active and accurate.
- Regular posts. Offers, updates, and seasonal news that show up right on your profile.
- Fresh photos. New photos of your work, your team, and your business.
- Review responses. We help you reply to reviews, good and bad, quickly and professionally.
- Keeping details current. Holiday hours, new services, and any changes, plus watching for edits Google or the public suggest to your listing.
- Results in your report. Calls, website clicks, and direction requests from your profile, every month.
Part of your local SEO
Your profile works best alongside a website that backs it up. If we're also handling your SEO and local SEO, your profile and your site point customers in the same direction.
Questions
Common questions
Is Google My Business the same as Google Business Profile?
Yes. Google renamed Google My Business to Google Business Profile in 2021. It's the same listing that shows up in Google Maps and local search results.
Do I need a storefront to have a profile?
No. Businesses that go to their customers can hide their address and list the areas they serve instead.
Can you help if my profile is suspended or won't verify?
Yes. We'll look at what caused the problem and help you through Google's verification or reinstatement process.
Will you write fake reviews for us?
No, and you shouldn't let anyone else either. Google removes fake reviews and can penalize the business. We'll help you ask real customers the right way.
