Profile setup
We'll create or claim your Google Business Profile using the correct business details.
Google Business Profile
Your website shouldn't be the only place customers can find you.
When someone searches for your service, they often see Google Maps before they see a website.
A properly set up Google Business Profile helps your business appear in local searches, show your reviews and give customers an easy way to call, visit your website or get directions.
We'll get yours set up properly, without keyword stuffing, duplicate listings or your home address accidentally appearing for everyone to see.

Why it matters
More visibility. More trust. More enquiries.
A Google Business Profile can help your business appear when people search for things like:
- Plumber near me.
- Accountant in Edinburgh.
- Local IT support.
- Website designer near me.
- Electrician open now.
Customers can see your services, photographs, opening hours, reviews and contact details without having to hunt around.
It's often the first impression they get of your business.
Best make it a good one.
Already have a profile?
That doesn't necessarily mean it's set up properly.
Common problems include:
- The wrong business category.
- An old phone number or website.
- Duplicate profiles.
- A listing owned by a former employee or marketing company.
- A home address showing publicly.
- Missing services or service areas.
- Verification problems.
- A profile that looks abandoned.
We can review what you already have, fix what can be fixed and make sure you remain in control of the account.
The detail
What's included
Categories and services
We'll choose suitable categories and add the services customers are actually searching for.
Address and service areas
Shop, office or mobile business, we'll set the profile up correctly without exposing information that should stay private.
Business description
Clear, natural wording that explains what you do without stuffing the profile full of awkward keywords.
Opening hours and contact details
Your telephone number, website, opening hours and service areas will all be checked and added correctly.
Photos and branding
We'll add your logo, cover image and business photographs so the profile looks established and genuine.
Verification support
Google decides how each business must verify its profile. We'll guide you through the process and help you prepare the evidence Google may request.
Review link
We'll create a direct link you can send to customers when asking for a review.
Website connection
Your profile will be linked properly to your website, helping customers move smoothly from Google to making an enquiry.
Getting a new website too?
Perfect.
Your website and Google Business Profile should support each other. We'll make sure your business name, services, contact details and service areas are consistent across both. That gives customers a clearer experience and avoids Google trying to work out whether two slightly different businesses are actually the same one.
- No mixed-up telephone numbers.
- No outdated web links.
- No profile pointing to a homepage that doesn't explain what you do.
- Just one joined-up local presence.
Included free
Two free review cards.
Yours to keep.
People are far more likely to leave a review in the moment, stood at the counter, or just as a job wraps up, than after they've gone home and forgotten. A tap-to-review card closes that gap.
- Tap with a phone or scan the QR code, no app, no typing, straight to your review page.
- Linked to the same review link we set up as part of your Google Business Profile.
- Durable enough for a counter, till point, van dashboard or front door.
- Free with every website build, nothing extra to buy.
Need more than two? Extra cards can be ordered separately.
How it works
Five steps. No guesswork.
1
We check what already exists
We'll search for existing profiles, duplicates and ownership issues before creating anything new.
2
We collect your details
You provide your business information, service areas, photographs and access to the Google account you want to use.
3
We build the profile
We add the correct categories, services, description, hours, contact information and website.
4
You complete verification
Google may ask for video, phone, email or another verification method. We'll explain exactly what you need to do.
5
Your profile goes live
Once approved, we'll make the final checks and send you your review link.
The honest bit
No promises of "number one on Google."
Anyone guaranteeing that should probably be avoided. A Google Business Profile can improve your local visibility, but rankings depend on factors including relevance, location, competition, reviews and the strength of your website.
We set everything up properly and give your business the best possible foundation.
No tricks.
No fake reviews.
No stuffing your business name with phrases it doesn't legally use.

Frequently asked
questions
Can't see your question? Just ask, robertwhitten@curly-it.co.uk
Is a Google Business Profile free?
Yes. Google does not charge to create a Business Profile. Our fee covers the time spent setting it up, optimising the information and supporting you through verification.
Do I need a shop or office?
Not always. Businesses that visit customers can normally use a service-area profile and keep their home address hidden.
Can you guarantee that I'll appear first?
No. Nobody can genuinely guarantee an organic Google Maps position. We make sure the profile is accurate, complete and connected properly to your website.
Can you create reviews for me?
No. Reviews should come from genuine customers. We can give you a direct review link and help make asking for feedback easier.
What happens if Google asks for video verification?
We'll explain what Google needs to see, which may include your location, signage, tools, equipment, vehicle or proof that you manage the business.
Can you manage the profile afterwards?
Ongoing updates, photographs, posts and profile maintenance can be provided separately.
Make it easier for
local customers to find you.
A good website gives people somewhere to learn about your business. A good Google Business Profile helps them find it in the first place.
