When someone searches "restaurant near me" or "car repair in Hamamatsu", Google first shows a map with businesses. The ones that appear have a well-kept Google Business Profile.

Step by step

  1. Create or claim the profile with the company's Google account.
  2. Verify the business: Google asks for confirmation; only the owner or manager can do it.
  3. Name, address and phone exactly the same as on your website.
  4. The right category and a clear description of services.
  5. Opening hours always up to date, including holidays.
  6. Real photos of the storefront, interior and work.
  7. Links to your website and contact page.

Keeping the profile strong

  • Ask happy customers for reviews and reply politely to all of them, including negative ones.
  • Post updates and offers from time to time.
  • Answer users' questions.
  • Have a website with the same information, in Japanese and your customers' languages.
