FAQs
Can’t I just set up a Google Business Profile myself?
Yes, but our professional setup ensures proper optimization from the start.
Many business owners create basic profiles that miss critical optimisation opportunities or contain errors that harm visibility.
How long does the setup process take?
The profile creation and optimization typically takes 3-5 business days.
The verification process varies depending on Google’s requirements for your business type and location.
Do I need to provide photos for my profile?
While we can use existing photos from your website or social media, we recommend providing high-quality images specific to your business.
We can advise on the types of photos that perform best for your business category.
What happens after the profile is set up?
Your Google Business Profile requires ongoing management to maintain optimal visibility.
We offer a separate Local SEO Management service for businesses seeking ongoing support, or we can provide guidance on managing it yourself.
Will this help my business appear in Google Maps?
Yes.
A properly optimised Google Business Profile is essential for visibility in both Google Maps and local search results.
