Claim and complete your business profile

Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing local searchers see. Fill in every field, choose accurate categories, and add real photos of your work and team.

Keep opening hours and contact details current, especially around holidays.

A useful starting point

Search for your main service plus your town on a phone. Note who appears above you and why.

Keep your details consistent everywhere

Search engines compare your name, address, and phone number across directories and your website. Inconsistent details weaken trust.

Audit the main directories once a year and correct anything that has drifted.

Earn reviews and local relevance

Reviews influence both rankings and decisions. Ask happy clients for feedback and reply to every review, positive or negative.

Create service pages that mention the areas you serve and the local problems you solve.

Your practical checklist

  • Complete every field in your business profile.
  • Use identical contact details across the web.
  • Add fresh photos every month.
  • Ask for reviews after each finished job.
  • Build a page for each key service area.
