How to Use This Template
This checklist walks you through optimising your Google Business Profile for maximum visibility in local search. It covers claiming and verifying your listing, completing every profile field (categories, service areas, hours, attributes), adding high-quality photos (aim for 20+), writing a keyword-rich business description, setting up messaging, creating regular Google Posts, managing and responding to reviews, and adding your services and products.
Work through each item in order. Choose your primary category carefully — "Caterer" and "Food Truck" attract different searches. Add every relevant secondary category. Upload professional photos of your setup, food, and events — profiles with photos get 42% more direction requests. Write your description using the terms customers actually search for ("wedding caterer Birmingham" not "bespoke culinary experiences").
Your Google Business Profile is often the first thing potential clients see. It appears in local search results, Google Maps, and the local pack at the top of search pages. A fully optimised profile with regular posts, fresh reviews, and plenty of photos consistently outranks competitors who claimed theirs and forgot about it. Spend 15 minutes a week keeping it active.
