Get Found on Google: Business Profiles for Service Businesses

About this webinar: 

This session is open to VIC / SA / TAS businesses in the Digital Solutions program. Not registered yet? Takes 2 minutes here.

When someone searches for a plumber, a hairdresser or a mobile mechanic near them, the businesses that show up on Google Maps and in local results tend to get the call. If you're not listed, you're often invisible at the exact moment someone is ready to book, even if you're the best in the area.

This introductory webinar explains what a Google Business Profile is, why it matters for a service business, and what a good one looks like. You don't need a profile yet. You'll leave knowing whether it's worth your time (it usually is) and exactly what to gather before you set one up.

What you'll learn

• What a Google Business Profile is, in plain language, and where it appears when people search
• Why being listed helps local customers find, trust and contact you
• What separates a profile that works from one that sits empty
• The information and photos to have ready before you start

What you'll leave with

• A clear sense of whether a Business Profile is worth setting up for your business
• A short "what to gather" checklist so setting one up is quick when you're ready
• Confidence that this is manageable, even if you've never done anything like it

Who it's for

This session is for small service business owners who want more local customers to find them, but who haven't set up a Google listing and aren't sure where to start.
