Don’t know where to start? Learn how to set up your Google Business profile:
Step 1: Set Up Your Google Business Profile
Go to Google Business Profile Manager → business.google.com
Sign in with your Google account or create a new one.
Enter your business name – If your business already exists on Google, claim it. If not, create a new listing.
Choose your business category – Be specific (e.g., “Laundromat” instead of just “Service Business”).
Add your location – If you have a physical store, add the address. If you're a delivery-based business, you can set a service area instead.
Enter contact details – Phone number, website URL, and other ways customers can reach you.
Verify your business – Google may require you to verify via postcard, phone, or email before your profile goes live.
Step 2: Optimize Your Google Business Profile
Write a compelling business description – Highlight what makes your business unique. Keep it clear and concise (750 characters max).
Upload high-quality photos – Add pictures of your storefront, team, services, and anything that showcases your business.
List your services/products – If applicable, include detailed descriptions and pricing.
Set your business hours – Ensure they are accurate, including holiday hours.
Enable messaging & bookings – Let customers message you directly or schedule appointments.
