The most important local listing.
WHY IT MATTERS MOST
For local searches, the business profile listings appear above ordinary results.
A complete profile frequently outperforms a website for local enquiries.
WHAT YOU NEED
Your business name Your category Your address, or your service area Your phone number Your hours Your website
VERIFICATION
Usually by postcard, phone or another method.
That step proves the business exists at that location.
Complete it. An unverified profile shows little.
WHAT TO FILL IN COMPLETELY
Everything offered.
Profiles with more complete information appear more often.
WHAT TO ADD
Photographs of your actual premises, work and products Your services A description
THE PHOTOGRAPH POINT
Real photographs of your actual business outperform stock images substantially.
WHAT TO KEEP CURRENT
Hours, particularly around holidays.
Wrong hours produce a wasted journey and a poor review.
