Start with the right profile and access
Check for an existing listing before creating a new one.
We first check whether your business already has a profile and who manages it. When access is needed, use the profile access tools rather than sharing your Google password.
Your business name should match the name used in the real world. Categories should describe the business, and address or service-area settings should reflect how you actually meet customers.
Keep your business information useful
A profile customers can rely on
Keep opening hours, services and contact details accurate. Discuss your profile with WWS and agree the updates your business needs.
Verification and eligibility come first
Google determines which verification methods are available for your business.
Eligible businesses generally meet customers in person at a qualifying location or travel to customers. Online-only businesses and virtual offices do not automatically qualify.
We can help you understand the available verification steps and prepare accurate business information. The owner may need to complete a video or other verification directly. Google controls the available methods, review and timing.
Build trust with real photos and customer reviews
Show your team, work and location, and invite honest feedback from customers.
We organize relevant images and useful updates around the services you provide. Reviews should come from real customer experiences, without rewards or filtering requests to positive customers only.
Helpful replies show that you listen. Photos and posts also help people assess the business; posting frequency or image geotags should not be presented as a guarantee of higher rankings.
Understand profile performance and local visibility
We review available profile interactions and website traffic alongside the services and places you want to reach. A phone-button interaction is not proof of an answered call or a sale.
Local results depend on relevance, distance and prominence. We improve the information and customer experience within your control and coordinate it with website SEO. We do not guarantee map positions.
Google Business Profile questions
What does Google Business Profile optimization include?
It covers accurate business information, primary and secondary categories, services, hours, photos, posts, review responses and performance tracking, all reviewed against how your business actually operates and Google’s guidelines.
Why is my business not showing on Google Maps?
Common reasons are an unverified or suspended profile, a business that is not eligible, inaccurate categories or information, or strong competitors closer to the searcher. We review the profile and your local signals to find the cause.
How can I get more Google reviews?
Ask satisfied customers consistently, share a direct review link after the job is done and reply to every review. Do not buy reviews, offer incentives or ask only happy customers; Google’s policies prohibit these practices.
Is every business eligible for a Google Business Profile?
No. Eligibility depends on how the business meets customers: generally in person at an eligible location or at customer locations. Online-only businesses and virtual offices do not automatically qualify.
Should a service-area business show its address?
If customers are not served at the business address, the profile should generally hide that address and use service-area settings instead. We review the setup against how your business operates and Google’s guidelines.
How long does Google Business Profile verification take?
Google decides which verification methods are available, and requirements and timing vary by business. The owner may need to complete some steps directly, and no agency can guarantee approval or a specific date.
Can WWS manage our Google Business Profile?
Yes. We manage the agreed profile work using manager access, while you keep ownership of the profile. GBP management focuses on the profile itself; local SEO also covers your website and local business information.
