Start by claiming and verifying your Google Business Profile with your exact legal business name, correct address, and a real local phone number, then fill in every available field including categories, services, hours, and photos before you publish. Verification in India is usually done by postcard or phone, and it can take a few days to a couple of weeks, so it’s worth starting early even before your website is fully ready.
We handle the full setup and verification process as part of our Google Business Profile optimisation service, including choosing the right primary and secondary categories, which has a bigger impact on visibility than most people expect. More detail is in our Google My Business optimisation guide.
Choosing the right primary category matters more than almost anything else on the profile. We’ve seen businesses miss out on relevant searches for months simply because they picked a category that was close, but not exact.
Our experts are here to help you get the results you need.
