When someone searches for a service near them, Google shows a few businesses with phone numbers, reviews and directions. A Google Business Profile is how you appear there, and it is free.
Fill it in properly
Choose the right business category, add your phone number and website, upload clear photos and keep your opening hours correct.
Ask for reviews
Reviews build trust. Ask happy customers to leave one, and share the review link on WhatsApp. Reply to every review, even with a short thank you.
Keep it fresh
Add a post when you have an offer or news, and update your photos now and then. An active profile looks more reliable to new customers.
