Google Business Profile setup for small businesses

Your business,
on the map.

Your Google Business Profile is the box with your map pin, hours and phone number. I set it up completely, once, so customers nearby can find you and call.

Signs you need a Google Business Profile setup

Which of these sounds like your profile?

Most owners recognize their profile in one or two of these. Here is why each one happens and what I do about it.

Checklist · Google Business Profile

Tick what sounds familiar.

0 of 5 ticked

  • Not on the map.

    Why it happens
    Without a claimed and verified profile, Google shows whatever it can find about you, or nothing.
    What I do
    I claim and verify your profile, so it is yours.

  • A thin profile.

    Why it happens
    Google favors complete profiles, and customers skip thin ones.
    What I do
    I fill in your categories, services, description, hours and attributes.

  • Nothing to look at.

    Why it happens
    Customers compare businesses by their photos before they call.
    What I do
    I tell you which photos and products to add, and how to shoot them.

  • No way to measure.

    Why it happens
    Without tracking links, visits and calls from your profile blend into the rest of your traffic.
    What I do
    Tracking is part of my local SEO plans, which measure your calls, clicks and forms every month.

  • Few reviews.

    Why it happens
    Most happy customers never think to leave one.
    What I do
    A review-request system, with a link and a QR code, is part of my local SEO plans.

Google Business Profile setup timeline

From claim to 30-day check.

I do the setup in the first weeks, and the 30-day check closes the project.

  1. Claim and verify the profile

    Week 1

    You receive: a profile that is yours. I need: your business details, since Google verifies that you own the business.

  2. Categories, services, description, hours and attributes

    Weeks 1-2

    You receive: a complete profile. I need: your services, your hours and a few details on how you work.

  3. Photo and product guidance

    Week 2

    You receive: a short list of what to photograph and add. I need: the photos and product details, when you have them.

  4. 30-day check

    Day 30

    You receive: a check on how your profile is doing. I need: nothing.

Tracking links, review-request links, posts, review replies and reporting are not part of this setup. They live in the local SEO plans.

Google Business Profile questions

What people ask before they set up a profile.

It is the box that shows your map pin, hours, phone number, photos and reviews when someone searches for your business, or for what you sell nearby.

Claiming and verifying the profile, your categories, services, description, hours and attributes, and photo and product guidance, plus a 30-day check.

Tracking links, review-request links, posts, review replies and reporting. They live in the local SEO plans, where profile work runs every month.

Setup is $350 USD for each profile, one time, paid upfront. See what the price covers.

No. A profile points people to your site, though, so a weak site wastes those clicks. If yours needs work, see web design or website redesign.

Yes. Each location is its own profile, and each one is priced as one setup.

A complete, verified profile gives Google what it needs, and nobody can guarantee a position. If you want ongoing work to climb, local SEO is the next step.

Yes. Every local SEO plan includes a full profile optimization in its setup, so you would not buy it twice.

You do. I am added as a manager so I can do the work.
