Google Business Profile: the listing a customer sees first.
On the map and above every website. Set up properly, it is the single biggest reason a business near you shows up, or does not.
- Rating, category and hours at a glance
- Call, directions and booking in one tap
Why it comes first
The top 3 businesses on the map get most of the calls.
When someone searches for what you do near them, Google shows a map with three businesses before it shows a single website.
How Google picks the three
Every business near the person searching is ranked on the same three things.
Relevance
How well your profile matches the search.
We fix this
Distance
How close you are to the person searching.
Nobody can change this
Trust
How much Google trusts your profile.
We fix this
You cannot change where you are. You can fix the other two.
The work
What we do to your profile.
- Claim it, or recover it if someone else set it up.
- Verify it in your name.
- Put it in the right primary category, and the right secondary ones.
- List every service you offer, in the words customers use.
- Set your real service area and your real hours, matching your site and every listing.
- Add your real photos, and keep adding them.
- Post updates, so the profile looks alive, because it is.
- Reply to every review in your name.
What Google rewards
Complete, current, active, consistent.
A profile that was filled in once and left falls behind one that is tended every month. That is why this is a monthly job, not a setup.
Filled in once, or tended every month
- Filled in once and left
- Tended every month
Complete
Every field filled in, every service listed.
Current
Hours, photos and services up to date.
Active
New photos, posts and reviews every month.
Consistent
The same details everywhere your name appears.
Someone else set up my profile and I cannot get in. Can you help?
Usually. Google has a process for recovering a profile. It takes a few days to a few weeks, and we handle it.
How long until the profile shows for my searches?
Verification takes days. Showing for the searches that matter takes weeks to months, as reviews and activity build. You see where you stand every month.
Do I need a storefront?
No. A business that goes to its customers hides its address and shows the areas it serves. Most trades work this way.
