Google profile (Google Maps listing)

1. Open Connections → Google Business Profile → Connect, and sign in with the Google account that manages your business on Google Maps. No profile yet? Connect anyway.
2. Open Google profile → Profile score. Each line shows what is missing, with a button to fix it. Check the preview, edit it if you like, then press Apply on Google.
3. Automation: choose how many posts a week, which days and what time. We prepare the posts; you approve them in Google posts. Only the owner can let posts go out without approval.
4. Google posts → New post: pick a service, an approved video, a festival, an offer or an event. Leave the text empty and we write it from your confirmed details, then press Approve.
5. Google reviews: press Reply. We suggest a polite reply; change it and press Post reply on Google. Never offer anything in return for changing a review.
6. No profile yet? Press Create my Google profile and fill in your real name and address. We check whether Google already has your business; if it does, claim it instead. Then press Verify with Google and enter the code Google sends.

Google decides rankings. A complete, active profile helps customers choose you, but nobody can promise a position.
