Google Business Profile
Your Google profile, set up right.
Your Google Business Profile is how you show up on Google Maps and in local results. We set it up, fill it in, and keep it correct.
The Meridian profile method.
Anyone can fill in a Google profile. These five steps are what make it work.
Doing it yourselfThe Meridian method
The right category
Your main category tells Google what you are. We pick the one that matches what you actually sell, and add extra categories only when they are true.
The same details everywhere
Your name, phone, services and hours match on your profile, your website, Yelp, Bing and Apple Maps, so Google and AI tools can tell it is one business.
Reviews, by Google’s rules
A review link and QR code for every job, asked of every customer, never rewarded, and every review answered.
Connected to everything else
Your profile links to the right page on your site, shows your location under your Google Ads, and calls from it can be counted.
Kept correct
Anyone can suggest edits to a Google profile. We keep an eye on yours and fix what changes.
No storefront? No problem.
If customers don't come to you, Google lets you hide your address and show the areas you serve instead.
Google still needs a real address to verify you. It stays private.
Doing it yourself? Our checklist for service-area businesses walks through every step, and our blog has more guides like it.
Verification is your step.
Google decides how to verify a business. Often it is a short video or a phone check.
You do that step yourself. We prepare everything around it, so it goes smoothly.
Reviews, the right way.
Reviews help people choose you. We set up a simple way to ask every customer for one.
Google does not allow paying or rewarding people for reviews, so we never do that.
Part of Meridian Presence.
A Google profile works best with a website it can link to, ads that bring calls now, and AI SEO for AI answers.
Meridian Presence: a website, a Google profile, Google Ads, and AI SEO, so customers find you on Google and in AI answers like ChatGPT.
Questions.
Do I need a website for a Google profile?
No, but it helps. Your profile links to your site, where people call you or send a form.
Can you get me into the top 3 on Google Maps?
No one can promise that. Google decides. We make your profile complete, correct, and consistent.
How long until my profile shows?
Google sets the timing for verification and review. It can take a few days.
Do you post for me every month?
Google profile posts depend on your business. We build a plan for each client, because not everything works for everyone.
Can I hide my home address?
Yes. Service-area businesses can hide the address and show service areas instead.
What does it cost?
We quote each project to your business. You get a clear price before we start.
