Google Business Profile Setup and Optimization
Setting up and filling out the listing that puts you in the Google map.
Your Google Business Profile is the listing that shows up in the map when someone searches for a business like yours. For a lot of customers it's the first thing they see, before your website. It holds your phone number, hours, reviews and photos.
If you don't have one yet, we'll set it up on your own Google account so you own it. If you have one that's half-finished, we'll fill it out properly: the right main category, your service areas, your real hours and a plain, factual description of what you do.

Questions about Google Business Profile
Do I need a storefront to have a Google Business Profile?
No. Service businesses that go to their customers can have a profile and hide their address. Google still uses the address to verify you, but it won't show it publicly.
Who owns my Google Business Profile?
You do. We set it up on your Google account, so you keep it no matter what.
How do I get more Google reviews?
Ask every customer. We give you a short review link to text or email after each job, including to customers who have already reviewed you somewhere else. We never post fake reviews.
