4.1 Google Business Profile

Step-by-Step

Create or claim your listing

Go to business.google.com. If Google has auto-generated a listing, claim it rather than creating a duplicate.

Enter your business name exactly

Use your ABN-registered name. Do NOT stuff keywords -- Google suspends listings for this.

Choose categories and set location

Be specific with primary category. Set service areas (up to 20) or enter your physical address.

Verify your business

Methods: postcard, phone/SMS, email, or video. Don't change anything while waiting for verification.

Complete every field and upload photos

Description (750 chars), hours, services with prices, attributes. Upload at least 10 photos. Complete profiles get 7x more clicks.

Google Workspace Tip

Google will offer you Google Workspace ($7--14/month) during setup. You need it if you don't have business email yet. Skip it if you already set up email in Section 1.3.
