How to get your business on Google
The simple steps that help local customers find you on Google Search and Maps.
1. Claim your Google Business Profile
It’s free, from Google’s Business Profile page. Add your business name, category, address or service area, phone and hours, then verify it the way Google asks. It’s what shows on Maps and in local results.
2. Add a website
Link your profile to a website that answers the questions your profile can’t: services in detail, the areas you serve, and a way to get in touch. Give each page a clear title and description; Digitally Boosted writes these for you.
3. Keep your details the same everywhere
Use the same business name, address and phone number on your profile, your website and your social pages, so customers and Google aren’t confused.
4. Ask for reviews
After a job well done, ask happy customers to leave a Google review. Never write or buy reviews; reply to the ones you get, good or bad.
5. Keep it current
Update holiday hours, new services and photos. Fresh, accurate details help customers trust what they find.

A new website can take days to weeks to appear in results. Verifying your Google Business Profile and linking it to your website helps.
Your pages get titles and descriptions, a sitemap and fast, phone-friendly pages. You still need your Google Business Profile for Maps.
