A Google Business Profile is the free listing that can appear when people search for your business on Google Search and Google Maps. It shows your name, address or service area, opening hours, phone number, website link and photos, and it is often the first thing a local customer sees.
I create the profile for you and set it up carefully: choosing the right business category, entering accurate details, adding photos and a clear description, and linking your website. I then guide you through Google’s verification, because a profile only becomes fully visible once Google has confirmed that the business is real.
Who this is for
It suits businesses that serve customers locally or by appointment, such as clinics, shops, restaurants, schools, consultants and service providers, and businesses that want to be found when people search “near me”. Google has rules about which businesses are eligible, and I will tell you honestly if yours is likely to qualify.

Worth knowing
Google decides whether a profile is approved and verified, and which method it uses, so I cannot promise a particular outcome or timing.
A profile cannot guarantee a position in Google Maps or search results. Ranking depends on relevance, distance and prominence, and on Google’s own systems.
The business information must be real and accurate, and your profile must follow Google’s guidelines. I only set up listings for genuine businesses.
Common questions
Is a Google Business Profile free?
Yes. Creating and keeping a Google Business Profile is free. My fee covers setting it up properly and guiding you through verification.
Why do I need to verify it?
Google asks businesses to verify so that only real, accurate listings appear. The method depends on your business. I guide you through whichever option Google offers.
Can you promise I will appear first on Google Maps?
No. Nobody can. A complete, accurate, verified profile gives you a proper chance to be found, but ranking is decided by Google.
