Or at least making contact with you. After that you have to make the sale yourself.

Mastering Google Business Profile Setup: A Step-by-Step Guide

Setting up your Google Business Profile is a straightforward process, but there are key steps to ensure it’s properly optimised for success:

Create a Google Business Profile

Head over to Google Business [https://business.google.com/] and sign in with your existing Google account. If you don’t already have one, making one is easy and fast. You will be walked through the process. And it is FREE.

Enter Your Exact Business Information

Here’s where you provide the essential details that potential customers need to find you. This includes your business NAP name, address, phone number, website (if applicable), category (e.g., construction company or builder, accountant or financial advisor or solicitor or legal firm), and a detailed description of each of your services. These details should tie in with any information in the companies office or on your website etc. It is important that you have just one NAP and that it is the same anywhere on the web.

Verify Your Business

Verification confirms you’re the rightful owner of the business listing. Google offers various verification methods, including postcard, phone call with code, or email, depending on your location. They may and probably will ask for video evidence to show that you have a property or office at that address. You will be prompted to use your phone to upload the video in real time. This is all to stop people saying they are located somewhere that they are not located. Google does not like facilitation addresses like 26 Mount Street Dublin 2 or 32 Arran Quay Dublin 7.

Optimise Your GBP Listing

Now’s the time to make your profile shine! Here are some key optimisation tips

High-Quality Photos

Add clear and professional photos that showcase your business, team, building and services. As well as the physical location itself, inside and out.

Regular Updates

Keep your profile fresh by updating your business hours if they change due to holidays or seasons, and add any new services as you offer them.

Positive Reviews

Encourage satisfied customers to leave positive reviews on your profile. Respond to all reviews, both positive and negative, in a professional and timely manner.

Keywords

While Google doesn’t recommend keyword stuffing, naturally include relevant keywords within your business description and category selection. Make it easy for Google to understand what you do.

Manage Your Profile

Your GBP isn’t a set-and-forget tool. Regularly monitor your profile, respond to reviews in a timely fashion, and keep your information updated.
