Google Business Profile setup

Exactly as it appears on your van, signage and invoices. Google suspends profiles that add extra words like towns or services to the name, so please keep it to the real name only.

Google verifies this address, usually by video call or a postcard. If you work from home, that is fine. We can hide it and show your service areas instead.

The number you want customers to ring. It should be answered during your working hours.

An inbox you check every day. Google sends verification messages and new review alerts here.

If Trade Tech is building your new site, put your current one or write "Trade Tech building".

The hours you take calls and enquiries. Tick closed for any day you do not work.

Google shows this as your opening date. A month and year is ideal, the year on its own is fine.

Google lets you list up to 20 areas. Put the ones you most want work from first. Postcode districts like TN34 or BN1 work well.

The work that brings in most of your money. We use this to pick your main Google category, which has the biggest effect on where you show up.

Everything else you are happy to take on. These become extra categories and your services list.
