What's included

A practical cleanup for local search

The goal is not to game Google. It is to make sure your business information is complete, consistent, useful, and owned by you.

Claiming or access guidance so the business owner controls the profile.

NAP alignment

Name, address, phone, website, and service details checked against your site.

Categories and description

Business categories and description drafted around real services customers search for.

Hours and service area

Important business facts filled in carefully so customers are not guessing.

Photos and links

Recommendations for useful photos, labels, website links, and contact paths.

Review basics

A simple walkthrough for responding to reviews without sounding canned.

Owner-first setup

Your business should control the listing

Google requires real business ownership and verification. We can guide the process, but the profile should stay under an account your business controls.

  1. Find or create the profile under a Google account you own.
  2. Complete Google's verification steps.
  3. Add Honest Web Designs as a manager if you want setup help.
  4. Review the business facts, categories, photos, and website links.
  5. Keep the profile current when hours, services, or locations change.

Why it matters

Local customers often see Google before they see your website

When someone searches for a nearby business, Google may show map results, profile details, reviews, hours, photos, directions, and contact buttons before the regular website listing. If that profile is incomplete or inaccurate, customers may never make it to your site.

This work pairs well with a website refresh because your profile and site should tell the same story: what you do, where you serve, how to contact you, and why someone should trust you.
