Google Business Profile Setup
Help customers find your business on Google.
Your Google Business Profile helps people find important information about your business on Google Search and Maps. We’ll set it up with your business details and guide you through Google’s verification process.
Why it matters
Make it easier for local customers to find you.
When someone searches for a business like yours, Google may show local businesses on Search and Maps. Your Google Business Profile gives people a way to see what you offer, where you work, and how to contact you.
01
Show up where people are looking
An eligible, verified profile helps your business become visible through Google Search and Maps.
02
Give customers confidence
Customers can see your business information, photos, and reviews in one convenient place.
03
Make it easy to contact you
Help customers find your phone number, website, business hours, and service information.

A Google Business Profile built around your business.

What it costs
One-time setup. Your profile stays yours.
Google Business Profile Setup
$297
One time, per location. We set up your business information and guide you through Google’s verification process.
Ongoing Google Business Profile Management is optional and available separately for $297/month per location if you’d like help keeping your information updated.
Can you get my business listed on Google Maps?
We set up your Google Business Profile with your business information, services, hours, photos, and service area. Then we guide you through Google’s verification process. Once Google approves your profile, customers can find your business information through Google Search and Maps. Google determines where businesses appear in search results.
Do I have to do anything to get verified?
Yes. Google may ask you to verify your business by recording a short video or completing another verification step. We’ll explain what Google requests and walk you through the process. You’ll complete any required verification using your own Google account.
I work from home. Will my address show?
If you serve customers at their locations rather than at your home, we can set up your profile as a service-area business and hide your street address from the public. We’ll configure the profile appropriately for how your business operates.
Will I own my Google Business Profile?
Yes. Your profile is set up in your own Google account, so you remain in control. Blue Chimp helps you get everything organized and configured, but the profile belongs to your business.
What happens after my profile is set up?
You can manage your profile yourself, or Blue Chimp can handle ongoing updates through our Google Business Profile Management service for $297/month per location. That includes keeping business information current, adding posts and photos, and monitoring reviews. Ongoing management is optional.
