Introduction
In today's digital world, local customers search on Google instead of looking in phone books. If your business doesn't appear in Google Search or Google Maps, you risk losing real opportunities. That's why creating a Google Business Profile (previously Google My Business) is essential.
VTraffic offers professional setup services for Google My Business that ensure your business is visible to local customers. We help you claim, verify, and build your Google Business Profile the right way, so you start strong and stay compliant with Google's rules.
What Is Google My Business Setup?
Google My Business Setup includes the process of creating, claiming, verifying, and configuring your business listing on Google. A complete profile ensures that customers can find accurate information about your business on Google Search and Google Maps, making it easy for them to engage with you.
When you set up your Google Business Profile correctly, you benefit from:
-
Visibility in local searches, especially “near me” queries
-
Eligibility for the Local 3-Pack in search results
-
A professional presence on Google Maps
-
Control over how your business appears online
-
An SEO-friendly foundation for future improvements
Why Proper GMB Setup Matters
Your Google Business Profile is often the first impression people get of your business. A missing, incomplete, or poorly set up listing can lead to:
-
Lost trust and credibility
-
Incorrect or outdated information
-
Lower visibility in local search results
-
Possible suspension of your account from Google
-
Missed calls, visits, and customers
Getting it right the first time saves time, builds trust, and sets the ground for long-term success. With VTraffic's Google My Business setup services, you won't have to worry about mistakes or missed chances.
What's Included in VTraffic's Google My Business Setup Service
At VTraffic, we go beyond basic setup. We create a profile that's ready to perform immediately. Here's what we include:
1. Profile Creation and Claiming
We create your Google Business Profile from scratch or claim it if it's already there but unverified. This grants you full ownership and control over your listing.
2. Google Verification Support
Verification is a key step. Whether it's by postcard, phone, or video, we help you through the verification process so your listing becomes live and active.
3. Accurate Business Information (NAP Setup)
We enter your Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP) correctly and ensure it matches your website and other listings. Inconsistent NAP details can hurt your local SEO.
4. Business Category Selection
Google allows a primary category and several secondary categories. We choose the most relevant and popular categories based on your industry and local competition.
5. Business Hours and Service Areas
We enter your correct hours of operation and areas served, so customers know when you're open and where you operate.
6. Business Description Writing
Our team writes a keyword-rich, customer-friendly business description that showcases your services, specialties, and local connection.
7. Logo and Cover Photo Upload
A strong visual identity builds trust. We upload high-quality images, including your logo and cover picture.
8. Initial Photos and Media Setup
We upload up to 10 high-resolution photos of your products, storefront, team, or services to make your profile visually appealing from the start.
9. Product and Service Listings
If applicable, we list your main services or products on the GMB dashboard, providing users with more information before they visit your website.
10. Website Integration and Local SEO Tags
We link your Google Business Profile to your website and include important metadata and schema tags (if needed) to aid local SEO performance.
