Over 80% of local searches result in a visit or contact. This means that a good Google Business Profile can be the difference between getting new customers or not.
What is Google Business Profile?
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is a free service that lets you:
- Display information about your business in Google searches
- Appear on Google Maps
- Receive and respond to reviews
- Post images and updates
- Show opening hours and contact information
Why Is It Important?
Local Visibility
When someone searches for “web design London” or “hosting Manchester”, Google will show relevant businesses with Google Business Profile first. Without a profile, you can miss these searches.
Builds Trust
A complete profile with:
- Reviews from real customers

…signals that you’re an established, reliable business.

Google Business Profile is completely free, but can give you:
