Google Business Profile Optimization

Your Google Business Profile (previously Google My Business) is a free tool that allows you to take charge of the way your business appears on Google Search and Maps. With your Business Profile, you can connect with customers, post updates, list your products and services, accept online orders, and more.

While it is important to set up and optimize your profile correctly the first time for your customers to find you on Google, you must also regularly maintain your Google Business Profile which means updating your operating hours (including holidays), posting about new products or services, and responding to reviews correctly in a timely manner.
