For a local service business this is the most valuable free thing Google gives you, and it is the thing most owners half-finish. Claimed years ago, one wrong category, no services, no service areas, no photographs, hours that were true before the business grew. It costs nothing but the doing. We do it properly, once.
Built or corrected, end to end
- Claimed and verified, or recovered if somebody else set it up years ago and the login is gone
- The right primary category, which is the single strongest signal on the whole profile, plus sensible additional ones
- Every service listed with a plain description, in the same words your website uses
- Service areas set to the towns you actually cover, spelled the way Google expects them
- Hours, opening date, phone number and website address correct and matching your site exactly
- Photographs organised: your logo, a cover image, your work, your van, your team
- The attributes that genuinely apply to you ticked, and the dozens that do not left alone
- A short guide to posting and to answering reviews, so it keeps working after we hand it over
One wrong category can hide you completely
Our own profile sat under the category "Media company" for weeks. Everything else on it was true. It simply told Google we were publishers, so we never appeared for anybody searching for the work we actually do. That is how quietly this goes wrong: nothing looks broken, the profile is live, the reviews are there, and the phone just does not ring. Category first, then services, then service areas, then photographs, because that is the order Google weighs them.
