Google Business Profile: 10 Tips to Get Found Locally

Your Google Business Profile often makes the first impression — before your website does. Here are ten quick wins.

• Claim and verify your profile
• Use your real, consistent business name
• Pick the most specific category
• Add your website and a 'book' or 'order' link
• Keep hours accurate (especially holidays)
• Add lots of real, high-quality photos
• Reply to every review, good or bad
• Post updates and offers regularly
• Answer the Q&A section yourself
• Link your profile to a fast, matching website

That last one matters: when your profile and website tell the same story and your site loads fast, you convert more of the people who find you.
