Verify core information
Business name, category, address or service area, phone and opening hours should reflect reality. Update holiday hours in advance. The website link should lead to a relevant working page.
Add authentic evidence
Photos of premises, team and services can help buyers decide. Reply to reviews respectfully without revealing private customer details. Avoid fake or incentivized reviews.
- Category and service list
- Current photos
- Working phone and directions
- Reviews and questions
Read outcomes carefully
Profile views are not customers. Look at calls, directions, website clicks and actual bookings or sales together. Local rankings cannot be guaranteed.
