Google Business Profile

What is Google My Business?

Google Business Profile (GBP) is Google’s free business directory and management tool, known as Google My Business until 2021. Through this profile, you can manage how your business appears in Google Search and Maps: business information, hours of operation, reviews, photos, posts, offers, and services. For local businesses, a well-maintained GBP is the most powerful tool in local SEO. At Waterproof Web Wizard, we systematically set up GBP profiles, link them to your website, and establish a review management process, ongoing maintenance is more important than the initial setup.
