Google Business Profile Setup

Start with accurate business information, suitable categories and a profile that clearly explains what you offer.

A complete profile gives customers better information

Creating a Google Business Profile is free, but setting it up well takes more than adding a name and telephone number. The categories, service information, contact routes, opening hours and business description need to match how the business really operates.

We help eligible local businesses establish those foundations and prepare the profile for ongoing use. Where verification or ownership action is required, the business remains involved and retains control.

Gmaps Local Search is independent from Google. We cannot guarantee verification approval or a particular Maps position, but we can make sure the setup work is approached carefully and accurately.

Setup questions

Is the Google profile itself free?

Yes. The £99 fee is for our professional setup and optimisation work, not a fee charged by Google.

Who owns the profile?

Your business retains ownership. We require suitable manager access to complete and maintain the agreed work.

Is verification guaranteed?

No. Verification decisions are controlled by Google, but we can help you prepare and follow the correct process.
