What is the Google Business Profile?

A Google Business Profile gives you control over how your business appears in local searches. In addition to basic information such as name, address, telephone number and opening hours, you can publish articles, upload photos and interact with customers. The platform serves as a digital business card and is prominently displayed by Google - even before the actual website. The functions include:

Avoid common mistakes in your Google business profile

Many companies do not exploit the full potential of their Google business profile. Common weaknesses include outdated opening hours, missing or poor images and uninformative description texts.

A lack of or unprofessional response to reviews also reduces the trust of potential customers. In addition, incorrect categories or duplicate listings often lead to limited visibility. A regularly maintained profile with up-to-date information and active user communication is therefore crucial for a successful presence.
