Your most visible local listing
When someone searches for a service near them, the map results often appear above the regular listings. Your Google Business Profile decides how you look there, and it is free to manage.
A complete, active profile helps you appear in more searches and gives people the confidence to call.
Quick tip
Choose your primary category carefully. It has a big influence on which searches you appear for.
Complete every section
Add accurate opening hours, service areas, phone number, website link and a clear description of what you do. List your individual services with short descriptions.
Upload real photos of your team, work and premises. Profiles with genuine images tend to get more engagement.
Keep it active
Ask happy customers for reviews and reply to every review, positive or negative, in a friendly and professional way. Post updates, offers or recent projects regularly.
Check your profile every month to make sure no details have been changed by suggested edits.
