Google Business Profile help

Your Business Profile is the listing people see on Google Search and Maps: your name, hours, phone, photos, and reviews. We help local service businesses across the United States set it up correctly, keep it accurate, and stay inside Google's rules.

Start with the free part. Most of a Business Profile only the owner can do, so we wrote it all down. Our Google Business Profile checklist has 42 steps in plain English, checked against Google's own help pages. You may not need us at all.

How we work on it

You stay the primary owner. We're added as a manager, and you can remove us any time.
We never ask for your Google password.
Nothing public changes without your approval.
You get a monthly report: what changed, and what's next.

What we can't promise

Google decides whether a profile gets verified, when it shows, and where it ranks. It can also suspend a profile it thinks breaks its rules. Anyone who guarantees you a spot in the map results is guessing. What we can do is make your listing accurate, complete, and inside the rules.

Some businesses don't qualify for a profile at all. Google requires that customers either come to your location or that you travel to them.

Common questions

I work out of my house. Can I still have a profile?

Yes, if you travel to your customers. Google's rule is to hide your home address and list the areas you serve instead, up to 20, by city or ZIP code.

Can I add my city or my services to my business name?

No. Google's rule is that the name must be the one on your sign, your truck, and your website, with nothing added.

Can I offer a discount for a review?

No. Google prohibits rewards for reviews, and asking only your happy customers. Ask everyone, the same way.

Someone else controls my listing. What now?

Don't create a second one. Google has a "request ownership" process for exactly this, and we can walk you through it.

The rules behind these answers, with links to Google's pages, are on the checklist.
