Google Business Profile Checklist
Review the profile details that help local customers find you and choose you — categories, hours, services, photos, and more.
Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing customers see when they search for a business like yours. This free checklist walks you through every detail that matters, so your profile works as hard as you do.
No sign-up required. Print it, check off each item, and keep it handy.
What's Inside the Checklist
Seven sections that turn a bare profile into a customer-winning one.
Business Basics
Verification, your exact name, address or service area, phone number, website link, and accurate hours.
Categories & Services
Choose a specific primary category, add secondary ones, and list every service with a short description.
Description & Details
Write a description that says what you do, where, and for whom — plus the attributes customers look for.
Photos & Videos
Logo, cover photo, interior and exterior shots, team photos, and the habit of adding fresh images.
Reviews & Q&A
How to request reviews, respond to every one of them, and answer customer questions on your profile.
