Frequently asked questions

I already have a Google listing. Why would I pay for setup?

If your listing is fully claimed, has the right categories, accurate hours, ten or more photos with descriptive captions, and a review-response workflow — you might not need us. Most listings we audit are missing at least three of those. The worst ones were created by someone else (a past customer, an old employee) and the current owner has no access. We fix the whole thing and make sure you own it cleanly.

Should I add every category that applies to my business?

No. Google's guidelines say categories must accurately describe what you primarily do — not what you could plausibly do. Adding irrelevant categories is a common reason profiles get suspended. We pick a primary category carefully and add only secondary categories that actually match what you deliver.

How many photos do I really need to upload?

At minimum ten, ideally twenty or more — interior, exterior, team, before-and-after if your work is visual. Quantity alone doesn't matter, though. The trick is baking a descriptive caption directly onto each photo before upload — not in the filename, on the image itself. That gives AI engines and Google's image recognition clear context about what the photo shows and who the business serves.

Can I put my city in my business name to rank better? ("Plumber Laval Inc." etc.)

No, and it's one of the most common reasons listings get suspended. Google's guidelines say the business name must match your real-world brand — no location, no keywords. Filing a DBA with that name doesn't create an exemption. The right way to rank for "plumber in Laval" is to have Laval service pages on your website.

What should I write in the business description?

Plain language about what you do, who you serve, and where. No keyword stuffing, no "best of the best" clichés — Google flattens that. The description field is 750 characters; use about 500 of them. A few specific examples of what you actually do ("emergency same-day water heater replacement in Laval") beat a list of generic services.
