Google Business Profile checklist

A useful Business Profile review starts with accuracy and eligibility. Promotional activity cannot repair incorrect business information or an unsuitable customer journey.

Confirm control and business facts

Identify the account owner and use delegated access where appropriate. Check the business name, real operating model, phone, website and opening hours. Keep a dated record of what is wrong before making changes, especially when several people maintain the profile.

Review the customer’s decision

Use categories and service descriptions that accurately represent the business. Check whether current photos help a customer understand the service. Follow the website link on a phone and confirm that the landing page explains coverage and how to enquire.

Make maintenance a routine

Assign responsibility for holiday hours, service changes and review responses. Keep approval steps simple and document changes. Review profile interactions alongside actual enquiries without treating an interaction count as a count of new customers.

Put the guidance to work

Capture your starting point, assign an owner to the next action, and decide what evidence will confirm that it worked.
