Best of all, setting up a Google Business Profile is free and only takes a few minutes.
To get started, go to google.com/business, and click “Start Now.” Enter your business name and address, then follow the prompts to verify your business. Once your business is verified, you can start adding photos, updated information, and special offers.

As the owner or manager of a business, you want to make sure that your Google Business profile is complete and accurate. After all, potential customers will use this profile to learn more about your company and decide whether to do business with you. So what information should you include in your profile?
First and foremost, be sure to list your company’s name, address, and phone number. You should also include a brief description of your business, as well as your hours of operation.
In addition, it’s a good idea to upload photos of your business, so that potential customers can get a sense of what you have to offer. By taking the time to create a complete and accurate profile, you can help ensure that your business gets the exposure it deserves.
To ensure that your business is easily found by potential customers, it’s important to optimize your profile for search engines. Fortunately, this is relatively easy to do. First, make sure that you have a complete and accurate google business profile. Include all the relevant information about your business, such as your hours, address, and contact information.
In addition, be sure to add some keywords that describe your business, such as “pet store” or “plumber”. These keywords will help customers find you when they are searching for businesses like yours.
Finally, keep your profile up to date by regularly adding new content, such as special offers or event listings. By taking these simple steps, you can make sure that your business is easily found online.
Customer reviews are more important than ever before. In the age of the internet, potential customers can google your business to see what others have said about you. If you have a google business profile, customer reviews will show up right on your listing.
Studies have shown that 88% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. That means that if you don’t have any reviews, or if you have mostly negative reviews, you’re going to lose out on business.
On the other hand, if you have a lot of 4- and 5-star reviews, you’re much more likely to attract new customers. So, if you’re not already actively soliciting customer reviews, now is the time to start. A few simple steps can make a big difference in your online reputation.
