Google setup
Google Business Profile setup, for a Kolkata business.
When somebody searches for a business near them, Google shows a small map with three listings on it. That box is won by your Business Profile, not by your website. This is the work of getting that Profile created, verified and complete, in your own Google account, with us added as a manager you can remove.

What the setup covers.
Your Google Business Profile created or claimed, then completed: categories, hours, the map pin, a description, services or products, and the photographs you approve.
Verification support. Google often asks the owner for a video walk-through, a phone call or a postcard; we prepare everything and cannot do that part for you. The outcome is Google’s.
Google Search Console: the property verified, the sitemap submitted, indexing requested.
A review link and a printable QR code for the counter. We never write, buy, filter, remove or reply to reviews, and you will not ask us to.
Help with an appeal if Google suspends or questions the profile. Bing Places, Apple Business Connect and directories like Justdial on the same terms, when listed.
No analytics or tracking code on the site by default. Search Console shows how the site appears in Google and needs nothing on the site itself.
If you would rather do this yourself, the whole thing is written out screen by screen on the Business Profile guide, free, with nothing held back. We would rather you had a working Profile than a bill from us.
Questions
Questions people ask
How long before my business shows up on the map?
Longer than anyone would like. Verification alone can take up to about two weeks if Google chooses the postcard method, and a new listing takes weeks more before it settles into the map results. Nobody can promise a position, and anybody who does is guessing.
Can you get me reviews?
No, and we will not. We set up the review link and print the QR code for your counter; asking is yours to do, and only of real customers. Buying reviews, writing them, or filtering out the bad ones are all grounds for Google removing the listing entirely.
My Profile exists but nothing happens. Can you look at it?
Yes. Most of the time the problem is a category that does not match what people search for, a service list left empty, or a listing that was never verified. Send us the business name and we will tell you what we can see from outside, whether or not you go on to work with us.
