What these articles cover
Posts cover choosing the right primary category, listing services and opening hours, adding genuine photos, replying to reviews and keeping every detail consistent with the information on your website.
Common pitfalls
Frequent problems include selecting an inaccurate category, leaving hours out of date during holidays and ignoring customer reviews. Small, regular updates usually matter more than one large overhaul followed by months of silence.
A simple monthly routine
Once a month, confirm your hours and contact details, add a recent photo, answer new reviews and check the questions customers have asked. It takes only minutes, keeps the profile fresh and leaves a record of what changed if performance moves unexpectedly later.
Next steps
Pair profile work with the wider local SEO checklist, and ask about our local SEO support if you manage several locations or want a second opinion on categories and descriptions before you publish changes.
