  1. Check your business name, address or service area, phone number and opening hours for accuracy.
  2. Choose relevant Google Business Profile categories and describe the services you actually provide.
  3. Add current, genuine business photos that help customers understand your business.
  4. Make your website easy to use on a phone; check the menu, text and contact buttons.
  5. Create useful pages for your real services and the locations you genuinely serve.
  6. Make calling, requesting a quote or booking straightforward. Test every form.
  7. Request honest reviews without incentives or pressure; respond helpfully to genuine feedback.
  8. Review local search visibility for specific searches and nearby locations. A map comparison is a snapshot, not a guarantee.
  9. Check website loading speed and keep image dimensions stable.
  10. Record enquiries and agreed measurements so future decisions reflect actual business needs.

This checklist is general guidance. Search visibility varies by query, location and time; no ranking or enquiry volume is guaranteed.
