Key Outcomes from Google Business Profile Setup and Optimization
Creating and optimizing your Google Business Profile drives growth and trust for your business:
Boost Visibility and Rankings
An optimized Google Business Profile increases your presence within local Google Searches and Maps. When a potential customer googles services with the phrase “near me,” your business will show up in the top relevant search results.
Better Engagement With Your Customers
Your Google Business Profile allows you to interact directly with your customers. Through reviews and Q&A, you can respond to feedback and provide information to help attract new business.
Free Marketing for Your Business
With a Google Business Profile, you can highlight your products and services, showcase photos of your business, and even provide timely updates. The more relevant, optimized information you provide, the better your chances are that you’ll appear in high-ranking search results, giving your business more advertising for free.
Why is having an optimized Google Business Profile important?
Google is used to search for businesses online more than any other site, making creating a Google Business Profile an essential step in your growth process. Having an optimized profile provides:
- Accurate Information About Your Business: With a complete and accurate profile, you can ensure your customers know where to find you and how to get in touch.
- Increased Search Visibility: Optimized profiles show up for relevant local searches, attracting more visitors to your Google Business Profile (and potential new customers) with every search.
- Direct Interaction With Customers: With 92% of consumers reading online reviews of a local business before making their first visit, responding to reviews on your profile creates trust and increases customer satisfaction.
- Insights and Analytics: Your profile allows you to see how your customers find your listing, if they take any action after, the number of interactions your profile has, and how many visits your business has on Maps.
- A Great First Impression: When you provide the photos, offerings, and information about your business, you can introduce yourself to potential customers on your terms.

5 FAQs About Google Business Profiles
Why do I need a Google Business Profile (GBP)?
Having a listing allows you to manage how your business appears on Google Search and Maps, maintain your online presence, and helps you appear on local search results with accurate and up-to-date information about your business.
What should be on my Google Business Profile (GBP)?
Customers should be able to find general information, including your hours, website, phone number, and location. You can also display photos of your business and its offerings.

Google Business Profile is the new name for Google My Business (GMB). Additionally, the platform has been updated to allow direct integration with Google Search and Maps, making it easier to edit listings and interact with customers.
Who can make changes to my Google Business Profile?
Anyone can suggest edits to your listing, even to important details like hours and address. Google typically sends notifications of these updates, but it’s important to audit your profile frequently for accuracy.
What is the Google Business Profile Q&A section?
Your listing does not have an FAQ section, so the Q&As are where you can provide your list of FAQs or answer any questions customers have about your business.
