Google Business Profile setup

Get your business set up or cleaned up on Google Search and Maps. These are the details Google asks for. I'll reply by email with a quote before any work starts.

About you

So I can reply to you. Not shown publicly.

What goes on your Google profile

Your real-world name, as on your sign, website and cards. Google doesn't allow taglines, locations, phone numbers or extra keywords in the name.

Pick what your business is, as specifically as possible ("This business IS a…").

Do customers visit you at your location?

Google lists a business as a storefront only if it has permanent signage and is staffed during its hours. Businesses that sell age-restricted products (like alcohol) need a storefront.

Required for storefront and hybrid. No P.O. boxes or virtual offices. Service-area businesses: Google hides this address from customers, but it may still be used to verify you.

Required for service-area and hybrid. Cities or ZIP codes you serve (Google allows up to 20, ideally within about 2 hours' drive).

A local number your business controls (not a call center).

Don't have a website? Let us build one for you for free! You only pay a monthly fee if you decide to keep it live.

Customer-facing hours. Leave blank if you work by appointment only.

Not sure what to write? Just jot down the basics in your own words. I'll turn it into a polished, professional version, and you review and approve it before anything goes live.

Up to 750 characters. What you offer and what makes you different. Google doesn't allow links, or promotions and prices, in the description. Not sure what to write? Just jot down the basics in your own words. I'll turn it into a polished, professional version, and you review and approve it before anything goes live.

One per platform (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, X, YouTube). Google doesn't offer this in every region.

For your logo, cover photo and other photos. Up to 10 files, JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG or PDF, 25 MB total.

Your current profile

Does a Google Business Profile already exist for your business?

Only the email address or a name. Never a password.

How access works (no passwords):

  • You own the profile with your own Google Account and complete Google's verification yourself. Google chooses the method (for example phone or text, email, or video).
  • Once it's verified, you invite PorchLoom as a Manager by email, in your profile's People and access settings. Managers can edit your info but can't add or remove people or delete the profile.
  • Never share your password or Google verification code with anyone, including me. This form doesn't ask for them.
