What is this service?

Google Business Profile is Google’s free listing for eligible businesses. It appears in Maps and local search results. Google controls verification, eligibility and ranking. We help you claim, complete and maintain a accurate profile.

Who should consider it

Physical locations, service-area businesses and brands that want strong Maps and local pack presence.

When it may not be priority

Purely online businesses without a service area or physical presence may not be eligible for a standard profile.
