"Hairdresser near me", "car service in Gaziosmanpaşa", "pharmacy open now". For searches like these the map comes first and websites second. If you are not on the map, or your profile is half-finished, you lose even the customer walking past your door.
What do we do?
- Creating the Google Business Profile and following up the verification

A listing alone is not enough
Ranking high on the map takes a complete profile, regular photos and posts, and real customer reviews. Having exactly the same address and phone number on your website as on your profile also affects ranking. If you wish, we take over the monthly management of the profile after setup.

How does setting up a Google Maps listing work?
- Checking what exists: Has a listing already been opened for your business, and if so, in whose account? We look into this first. Opening a second listing for the same business causes problems.
- Gathering the details: The name on your sign, full address, phone, opening hours, services and photos.
- Creating the profile: The Google Business Profile is opened under your own Google account and we are added as a manager.
- Verification: Google wants to confirm that the business really is there. Google chooses the method: video, phone, email or post. We go through this step together.
- Filling in the profile: Category, description, services, photos and links are entered.
- Handover: You receive your review link and QR code, and we show you how to update the profile.
What should you have ready before starting?
- How the business name is written on your sign and official documents
- A full address down to the door number
- A phone number customers will call that is always answered
- Photos of the exterior, the sign and the interior
- A Google account that you control
Adding extras such as "cheapest" or a district name to the business name is against Google's rules and can get the profile suspended. We enter the name exactly as it appears on your sign.

Frequently asked questions about Google Maps listings
Does it cost money to add a business to Google Maps?
Google does not charge for the listing. Google Business Profile is a free service. Our fee covers the setup, following up the verification and preparing the profile in full. We send a written quote according to whether you want setup only or monthly management, and the quote is free.
How long does Google Business Profile verification take?
It depends on the method Google chooses. Video or phone verification is usually completed within days; a code sent by post takes longer. Because the timing is in Google's hands we cannot give an exact date, but we follow the process from start to finish.
I have no shop and travel to the customer. Can I still have a listing?
Yes. Businesses that work at the customer's premises, such as plumbers, movers and cleaning companies, can hide their address and define a service area instead. The map shows the districts you serve rather than a pin. For businesses like these, a landing page alongside the profile is very useful.
Can you get bad reviews removed?
Only reviews that break Google's rules (abuse, spam, reviews unrelated to the business) can be reported, and Google makes the decision. A genuine customer's negative review is not removed. The best course is a calm, solution-minded reply. New customers often look at your answer more than at the review itself. If you want to be visible on the map sooner, you can also advertise in local searches with Google Ads.
