Review business details, service areas, photography and customer questions to build a useful foundation for local search visibility.
Local searchers often want to know what a business offers, whether it is open and how to contact it. Start with accurate information rather than adding large numbers of keywords.
Keep core details consistent
Review the business name, telephone number, address or appropriate service area, opening hours and website link. Include holiday changes. Resolve conflicts between profile and website details.
Show what you actually provide
Write understandable service descriptions and use current photographs of real work. Do not create misleading addresses or imaginary offices in cities you do not serve.
Treat reviews as customer feedback
Give customers a way to share their experience without incentives for positive reviews or fabricated feedback. Respond without exposing personal information. Use recurring complaints to improve delivery as well as communication.
Set realistic expectations
Google describes relevance, distance and prominence as local ranking factors; better local ranking cannot be purchased. Focus on accurate information and customer experience. Assess qualified enquiries alongside profile visibility.
