Google Business Profile Optimisation: A Checklist for Bangalore Businesses
A complete Google Business Profile checklist to win more calls, directions and WhatsApp chats from local searches in Bangalore.
Why your profile matters
For many local searches, your Google Business Profile is seen before your website. It decides whether someone calls you, asks for directions or picks the competitor below.
The checklist
Verified profile with your real business name. Correct primary category and a few relevant secondary ones. Exact map pin. Accurate hours, including holidays. Phone and WhatsApp that are answered. Website link to the most relevant page. A full list of services with short descriptions. At least 20 real photos of the place, team and work. Regular posts. Questions and answers filled in. Every review answered.
Photos sell
Profiles with fresh, real photos look alive. Add new photos every month, including the outside of your premises so people can find you.
Reviews and replies
Ask for reviews right after a good experience. Reply to every review by name. A calm, helpful reply to a bad review can win more trust than a dozen five-star ones.
