Google shows three businesses on a map before any website. Is yours one of them?

That map is built from Google Business Profiles. It is free, but most profiles are half-filled, unverified or in the wrong category.

why your profile matters.

When someone searches "website designer near me" or "billing software Indore", the map results are your Google Business Profile. Calls, directions and reviews often happen there, before anyone opens a website.

We set it up properly and connect it to your website, so Google sees one consistent business: same name, same phone number, same address everywhere.

It's included with every business website (from ₹15,000). If you already have a website and only need the profile done, message us for a quote.

what google looks at.

Google says local results are based on relevance, distance and prominence, and that complete, accurate profiles are more likely to show up.

01

relevance

How well your profile matches the search. The right primary category and a clear list of services matter most here, not keywords stuffed into your name.

02

distance

How close you are to the person searching. You can't change it, but an accurate address or service area makes sure Google counts it correctly.

03

prominence

How well known you are: reviews, mentions on other sites and your website. A steady flow of genuine reviews helps more than a perfect average.

04

accuracy

The same name, address, phone and hours everywhere. Since September 2026, an outdated website or directory listing can even be used to confirm a wrong edit to your profile.

verification

your signboard is your proof.

Google decides the verification method, and for most businesses it is now a short video. It wants one unedited take of at least 30 seconds showing your signboard, the street around you and proof that you run the business.

We plan that video with you before you record, because a failed attempt can slow everything down.

  • signboard with the exact business name
  • the street or landmark outside
  • your counter, tools or stock
  • a document or key that shows you run it

do it yourself, or get it done?

Plenty of owners set up their own profile. Here is when help is worth it.

The shortcuts cheap services use, like keyword-stuffed names and bought reviews, are exactly what Google suspends profiles for.

google profile questions.

Is Google Business Profile free?

Yes, Google doesn't charge for the profile. You're paying us for setting it up properly: categories, services, photos, verification and linking it to your website.

How long does verification take?

Google decides the verification method, most often a short video. Google says reviews can take up to 5 business days, sometimes longer. We guide you through it.

Will I be number one on Google Maps?

Nobody can honestly promise that, and Google says local ranking cannot be bought. A complete, verified profile with regular reviews and a matching website gives you the best chance.

Is it included with a website?

Yes. Every business website from ₹15,000 includes Google Business Profile setup. On its own, we quote it after a quick look at your current profile.

My profile was suspended. Should I make a new one?

No. Google explicitly says not to create a new profile for the same business. Appeal the existing one once, with documents whose name and address match exactly.

I work from home. Can I still have a profile?

Yes, as a service-area business. You hide your home address and list the areas you serve, up to 20, within about two hours of driving.

Can I offer a discount for reviews?

No. Google's policy bans discounts or freebies for reviews, asking only happy customers, and review targets for staff. Ask every customer, and make it easy with a link or QR card.
