Google Business Profile
The free listing that's often your real front door
For a lot of local businesses more people see the Google listing than ever see the website. It's free, it takes an afternoon to set up properly, and most businesses leave it half-finished.
What that means in practice
What Google Business Profile covers
Claimed and verified
If you've never claimed it, there's a listing out there you don't control. That's the first thing to fix.
Hours that are actually right
Including holidays. A wrong closing time costs you customers who never tell you they came by.
Real photos, added regularly
Listings with current photos get taken more seriously — by people and by Google.
The right categories
Pick wrong and you're invisible for the searches that matter most. This is the quietly technical part.
Services and products filled in
Free space to name everything you do, and most listings leave it blank.
Reviews responded to
Every one, good or bad, in your voice. How you answer a bad review sells better than the good ones do.
Straight answers
Questions I actually get asked.
Is this really free?
The listing is completely free from Google. You're paying me for the hour it takes to do it properly, and the upkeep after that if you want it — never for the listing itself.
I already have a listing. Isn't that enough?
Usually not. Having one and having one that's finished are different things. I'll look at yours free in a Blueprint Session and tell you which you've got.
Where I work
Across Central Kentucky.
The Blueprint Session
Let's spend thirty minutes on your business.
No pitch, no charge. I'll look at your site, your Google listing and what your competitors are doing, and tell you plainly what I'd fix first. If you can do it yourself, I'll show you how — and if you don't need me yet, I'll say so.
