Question 1

What is a Google Business Profile and why does my business need one?

Accepted Answer

Your Google Business Profile is the free listing that shows your business on Google Search and Google Maps, with your address, opening hours, phone number, photos and reviews. It is often the first thing a customer sees, and a complete, verified profile is what makes your business appear when someone searches for what you sell nearby.

Question 2

How do you set up and verify my Google Business Profile?

Accepted Answer

Our team creates or claims your profile, completes every field - categories, services, service areas, hours, photos and business description - and takes you through Google's verification step. Once verified, we keep the information accurate and consistent across Google Maps, Search and the other platforms we publish to.

Question 3

How long before I start seeing more customers from Google?

Accepted Answer

Most businesses see measurable movement within the first 90 days of an optimised profile - more profile views, more direction requests and more calls. Results build over time as reviews, posts and accurate information accumulate.

Question 4

Can you manage my customer reviews for me?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Review management is part of the dedicated account management service. We monitor incoming reviews, alert you to anything that needs your attention and respond professionally so your reputation stays strong.

How do I start accepting card payments as a small business?

Accepted Answer
