How do I get my trade business to show up on Google Maps?
To show on Google Maps you need a claimed and verified Google Business Profile, filled in completely, with reviews coming in. Maps ranking is driven by how relevant, well-reviewed and complete your profile is, and how close you are to the searcher. There is no paid shortcut to the top of Maps; a complete profile and steady reviews are what get you there.
Claim and verify the profile
You cannot show on Maps without a verified Google Business Profile. Claim it, verify it, and fill in every field: services, areas, hours, photos.
Reviews and completeness rank you
A complete profile with genuine reviews outranks a sparse one. Ask every customer, respond to reviews, and keep the profile active with photos and posts.

Common questions
Why is my business not on Google Maps?
Usually because the Business Profile is not claimed or verified, or it is too sparse. Claim it, complete it, and start gathering reviews.
Do I need a website to show on Maps?
No, but a website linked to your profile strengthens it and gives customers somewhere to learn more, which helps you win the call.
