Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a customer sees, before your website. A few simple habits make it work harder.

Choose the most accurate primary category, then add secondary categories only where they truly fit. The category shapes which searches you appear in.

Add real photos: the outside of your premises so people can find you, the inside, your team at work and your products or services. Replace old photos from time to time.

Use posts to share news, offers and events. A short, useful post every week or two keeps the profile fresh and gives people a reason to choose you.

Keep your hours right, including special hours for holidays. Few things lose a customer faster than arriving at a closed door.

Answer questions and reply to reviews. It shows that someone is looking after the profile and helps the next customer decide.
