Frequently Asked Questions
What is Google Business Profile?
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is a free tool from Google that displays your business information in Google Search and on Google Maps.
Is Google Business Profile free?
Yes, creating and managing a Google Business Profile is completely free. You only pay for optional advertising if you want it.
How long does profile verification take?
Verification usually takes 3-7 days. Google will send a postcard with a code to your business address, or may offer phone/email verification.
Do I need a physical location?
Not necessarily. If you provide services at customer locations (e.g., electrician, cleaning), you can set a 'service area' without displaying an address.
How do I get more reviews?
Ask satisfied customers in person or via email. Create a short review link and share it. Respond to all reviews - both positive and negative.
Can I have multiple profiles for one business?
One profile per location. If you have multiple branches, each can have its own profile. Google deletes duplicate profiles.
