How to Set Up Google Business Profile for Your UK Business

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is one of the most powerful free tools available to UK small businesses. Here's how to set it up and make the most of it.

What is Google Business Profile?

It's the information panel that appears when someone searches for your business on Google. It shows your address, phone number, opening hours, reviews, and photos.

Step 1: Claim Your Business

Go to business.google.com and search for your business. If it exists, claim it. If not, create a new listing.

Step 2: Complete Every Field

Fill in your business name, category, address, phone number, website, and opening hours. Businesses with complete profiles get 7x more clicks than those without.

Step 3: Add Photos

Upload at least 5 high-quality photos of your business, products, or team. Listings with photos receive 42% more requests for directions.

Step 4: Collect Reviews

Ask happy customers to leave a Google review. Reviews are the single biggest factor in local search rankings.
