Updated: October 6, 2026

A grooming business's Google profile should use the pet groomer category, list services and pricing basics, show real photos of dogs and the salon or van, link to booking, and reply to reviews. Mobile groomers set a service area.

## Services to list

| Service | Description |
| Full groom | Bath, haircut, nails, ears |
| Bath and tidy | Bath, nails, face and feet trim |
| De-shedding | For double-coated breeds |
| Nail trim | Quick visits |
| Puppy intro | Gentle first groom |

## Photo plan

- Finished grooms
- Salon or van
- Groomer with dogs

## Getting found by nearby owners

Searches such as "dog groomer near me" or "mobile dog grooming" depend on your category, location or service area, relevance and reviews. Use the right category, describe services in plain words, keep hours accurate and post photos weekly. Mobile groomers should list only the areas they actually serve. Replying to every review shows owners you care.

Questions about vaccines, cats, large breeds or anxious dogs often appear in the Q&A section; answer them clearly.

## Mistakes

- Listing a home address publicly by mistake
- Old photos
- Hours that do not match bookings
