If there is one thing you do for your business online this year, make it this: claim and optimize your Google Business Profile. It is free, it takes 30 minutes, and it can completely change how many customers find you.
What Is Google Business Profile?
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is the listing that shows up when someone searches for a business on Google or Google Maps. It displays your business name, address, phone number, hours, reviews, photos, and a link to your website.
Why It Matters for Connecticut Businesses
When someone in Cheshire searches “plumber near me” or “best restaurant in Hartford,” Google shows a map with local businesses. If you do not have a Google Business Profile, you are invisible in these searches. And these are the searches that lead to phone calls and walk-ins.
How to Optimize Your Profile
- Complete every field — Business name, address, phone, website, hours, description.
- Choose the right categories — Be specific. “Italian Restaurant” not just “Restaurant.”
- Add photos — Businesses with photos get 42% more direction requests.
- Get reviews — Ask happy customers to leave a Google review. Respond to every one.
- Post updates — Share news, offers, and events regularly.
