Keep your info accurate and stay active
Accurate hours and a regularly updated profile signal an active, trustworthy business.
Accuracy builds trust
Wrong hours or an old phone number is the fastest way to lose a customer — and it tells the system your listing isn't well maintained. Keep your hours, contact details, and services current, especially around holidays.
Active profiles do better
Updating your profile, replying to reviews, and keeping details fresh all signal an active business. Set a reminder to check your listing every month.
