Google Business Profile Setup: A Simple Guide for Indian Businesses

A complete Google Business Profile is the fastest free way to show up when people nearby search for what you sell.

1. Create it

Go to business.google.com, search your business name and choose the most specific category you can.

2. Verify

Google may ask for a video of your shop, a phone call or a postcard. Keep signage and your address visible in the video.

3. Fill everything

  • Hours, phone, website and services
  • At least 10 real photos
  • A short description in plain words

4. Get reviews

Send happy customers your review link on WhatsApp. Reply to every review, good or bad.

5. Stay consistent

Use the same name, address and phone on your website and directories. More in our local SEO checklist.
