YCFGoogle Business Profile Setup & Management

Found from above
When someone nearby searches for what you do, Google shows a map and three businesses. Your Google Business Profile decides whether you’re one of them.
Every search starts on a phone
Most local customers start with a quick “near me” search. We make sure Google knows exactly what you do and where you do it.
Complete beats clever
Categories, services, hours, photos and posts. A complete, active profile gives Google every reason to show you.
Stars that do the selling five of them
An easy review link for your customers, and a reply to every review, so new customers see a business that cares.
From search to your door
Calls, directions and website visits, straight from the map. We keep your profile active with fresh posts and photos every week.
Why your Google profile matters
For local searches, Google often shows a map and three businesses before any websites. Your Google Business Profile is what appears there: your name, stars, photos, hours and the buttons to call you or get directions.
A complete, active profile that matches your website gives Google every reason to show you. A half-finished one with the wrong hours and no photos gives it every reason not to.
Set up properly from day one
We choose the right categories, list every service, write a description that says exactly what you do and where, and make sure your name, address, phone number and hours match your website to the letter. That consistency matters.
If you work from home or travel to customers, we set you up as a service-area business with your address hidden and the towns you cover listed.
Kept active, not left to gather dust
Google rewards profiles that are looked after. We add posts and fresh photos, keep your hours up to date for bank holidays, and make it easy for happy customers to leave a review.
Because we also run social media and shoot photography, your profile gets the same real photos and updates as the rest of your marketing.
Honest about results
Nobody can promise you the top spot on Google, and anyone who does is guessing. What we can do is make sure your profile is complete, accurate and active, which gives you the best shot at being found by the people nearby.
Google Business Profile: your questions answered
What is a Google Business Profile?
It’s your free listing on Google Search and Maps: your name, location or service area, hours, photos, reviews and the buttons to call you, visit your website or get directions.
Can you fix a profile I already have?
Yes. Most profiles we see have the wrong main category, missing services or hours that don’t match the website. We tidy all of it.
I work from home. Can I still have a profile?
Yes. We set you up as a service-area business, with your address hidden and the towns you cover listed instead.
Can you get me to the top of Google Maps?
Nobody can honestly promise that. We make your profile complete, accurate and active, which gives you the best shot at showing up for searches nearby.
Do you cover my area?
We’re based in Washington and look after businesses across Sunderland, Newcastle, Gateshead, Durham and the wider North East. Call 07440 121487 for a chat.
