Practical guides to Google Business Profile, reviews, service pages and measuring what brings customers.
All guides
Where to start
For most local businesses, getting found starts with a verified Google Business Profile, a website that clearly explains services and how to contact you, and a steady flow of genuine reviews. Those three work together: the profile brings discovery, the website answers questions and converts, and reviews build trust. Then add useful service pages, consistent contact details everywhere and simple measurement of calls, forms and bookings.
A 30-day getting-found plan
| Week | Focus |
|---|---|
| 1 | Claim and verify your Google Business Profile, choose categories, add hours and photos |
| 2 | Check your website on a phone: clear services, contact button, fast pages |
| 3 | Ask recent customers for reviews with a direct link; reply to every review |
| 4 | Make contact details consistent everywhere and start tracking inquiries by source |
What to avoid
Keyword-stuffed business names, fake addresses, incentivized reviews, copy-paste city pages and buying followers. They can get profiles suspended or erode trust, and they rarely bring real customers.
Measure what matters
Track inquiries and won customers by source each month: Google profile calls and website clicks, form submissions, bookings and referrals. Visits and likes are interesting, but customers pay the bills. Change one thing at a time and watch the next month's numbers to see what helped.
