No, you can list your business as a service-area business if you don’t operate from a storefront. This means you’ll still appear in local search results for your area without showing your home address.

No, you don’t need a website but having both is likely to give you the best visibility for your business. Even without a website, a well-optimised Google Business page can help you appear on Google Maps and in search results - many businesses use their Google Business Profile to link to their social media accounts and provide contact details before they invest in a website.

Google Business Profiles are free to create but if you'd like support, our Google Business Profile set-up service starts from £200, with a 50% payment due upfront. We'll work with you to pull together all the necessary information and get your profile looking its best. Pricing may vary depending on the current state of your profile and how SEO-optimised you'd like the end-result to be. Google Business Profiles are very low-maintenance long-term, they just need a little TLC to keep them fresh and up to date. There's no subscription model to sign up to, it's a completely free service provided by Google and it's a great way to boost your visibility online - we recommend all local businesses have one.

Your profile is a great little hub to highlight all key business information, such as: - Business name - A description of products or services - Address or service area - Contact information - Website link - Opening times - Social Media channel links - Photos and videos - Customer reviews - Business attributes (e.g. Black-owned, women-owned, LGBTQ+ friendly) You can also use their 'posts' feature to shout about any business updates like seasonal events or new collections, similar to social media. You don't need to include all of these things, but building a well-rounded profile with as much relevant information as possible can certainly help boost your results.

Yes, if your profile isn't looking its best and needs a little TLC, we can make some tweaks so it works harder for you. We also offer an ongoing maintenance service so that you can keep your profile fresh and active over time. Google prioritises active profiles so this is great for building your business visibility.

Usually within a few days of setup once your profile has been verified, but building reviews and activity will also help boost visibility further.
