📞 Call 1-800-203-8979Request my free auditClaim, verify, and secure the profile
Claim the profile, complete verification, and make sure you — not a former employee or agency — control the account. An unverified or lost profile cannot be optimized or defended.
Nail the core information
Exact business name (no keyword stuffing), correct primary category plus all relevant secondary categories, precise address or service area, local phone, accurate hours (including holidays), and your website URL. Consistency here is non-negotiable.
Fill everything else Google offers
Add services with descriptions, products, attributes, a keyword-relevant business description, an opening date, and messaging if you can respond quickly. Every field you complete is another signal you match a San Antonio search.
Photos, reviews, and Posts
Upload real, recent photos regularly; ask for reviews and reply to all of them; and use Google Posts to share offers and updates. Active profiles outrank dormant ones — Google favors businesses that clearly still operate.
Keep it consistent everywhere else
Your profile’s NAP must match your website and every directory exactly. Mismatches quietly suppress your ranking no matter how good the profile itself is.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I update my profile?
Add photos and a Post at least a couple of times a month, reply to reviews as they arrive, and update hours before holidays. Consistent activity is a ranking signal.
Does the business description affect ranking?
It helps relevance and conversion. Write it naturally for customers while including your services and San Antonio location.
