Free visibility check for service businesses

Five visibility basics every service business should have set up.

None of this needs to be fancy. But it does need to exist, be accessible, and be checked regularly.

Start the self-check

Curated for service businesses

We collected some key resources so you can focus on having the next step in front of you.

These resources are to help you see what is already in place, what may be missing, and what deserves regular attention. Use the walkthroughs to get started yourself. If you want help setting things up correctly or interpreting what you find, we can work through it with you.

01Local visibility

Claim and complete your Google Business Profile.

This is often the first information a nearby customer sees when they search for your business or service.

Watch the walkthrough

Before you start

  • Use a Google Account the business controls.
  • Confirm that the business is eligible for a profile.
  • Have the correct business name, phone number, website, hours, categories, and service area ready.

The walkthrough

  1. 01Search Google and Google Maps for the business name and city.
  2. 02If a profile exists, request access or claim it. If it does not exist, create one.
  3. 03Complete Google’s available verification process.
  4. 04Review the business name, primary category, phone number, website, hours, service area, services, and photos.
  5. 05Add another trusted owner or manager where appropriate so the profile is not dependent on one person.

You're done when

You can access the verified profile from a business-controlled Google Account and its core information is accurate on Google Search and Maps.

Check this regularly

Review it monthly and whenever your hours, services, phone number, website, or service area change.

A simple operating rhythm

Set it up once. Check it regularly.

These basics help you catch problems earlier, understand what is working, and make better decisions without guessing.
