Google Business Profile
Get found on Google Maps.
A Google Business Profile is the free listing that shows your business on Google Maps and beside search results, with your hours, photos, reviews, and phone number. I create and verify profiles for small businesses, fix the ones that already exist, and manage them month to month.
What I set up.
- A new profile, verified
- If you don't have a profile, I create it and stay with you through Google's verification.
- An existing profile, fixed
- If you already have one, I correct the name, address, hours, and categories, and fill in what's missing.
- Categories and services
- I choose the categories that match what your customers search for and list each service you offer.
- Photos
- I add photos of your work, your team, and your location.
- A review link and QR code
- A short link and a printable QR code, so a customer can leave a review from their phone.
- Monthly management
- Posts, new photos, and replies to reviews each month, if you want me to keep the profile current.
How working together goes.
- Talk
A call about your business, the area you serve, and the customers you want more of.
- Check
I look at your current listing, or confirm you don't have one yet.
- Set up
I create or correct the profile: name, hours, categories, services, and photos.
- Verify
Google confirms you run the business. I tell you what to expect and stay with you through it.
- Manage
If you want, I keep it current each month with posts, photos, and review replies.
What it costs.
Google doesn't charge for the profile. You pay me for the setup, which is a one-time price, and for monthly management if you want it.
Both prices go in a written proposal that you approve before I start.
Questions about Google Business Profile.
Is a Google Business Profile free?
Yes. Google doesn't charge for the listing. You pay me for the setup and, if you want it, monthly management.
I already have a profile. Can you improve it?
Yes. I check the name, address, hours, categories, services, and photos against what Google asks for, correct what's wrong, and fill in what's missing.
How does Google verify my business?
Google confirms you run the business before the profile goes public, usually with a short video, a phone call, or a postcard with a code. Google chooses the method. I tell you what to expect and stay with you through it.
How do I get more Google reviews?
I give you a short review link and a printable QR code. Hand it to customers after a job, or put it on your counter and your receipts. Google doesn't allow paying for reviews or trading discounts for them, so I don't set that up.
How long until I show up on Google Maps?
A verified profile can appear within days. Reaching the top three map results depends on your category, your reviews, and how close the searcher is to you, so I can't promise a position.
Do I need a website too?
A profile works without one. Google lets you link a website, though, and customers check it before they call. I build both.
