Google Business Profile

No pin on Google Maps yet, or a profile nobody finished? We build your Google Business Profile, once called Google My Business, inside your own Google account. We fill in every field, including categories, opening hours and photos of the real place, and walk you through Google's verification. It costs ฿9,900, paid once.

Not sure whether Google already lists you? Send us your business name first. On the free first call we check whether a profile exists. If it does and the details are wrong, fixing it is safer than starting a new one, and we quote the fix before we start.

Where is your business on Google right now?

Pick the one that sounds like you. Each card says where to start and what it costs.

Every field we fill in

Google's own advice is that a business with complete, accurate information is easier to match with the right searches. These are the fields we fill in from the details you send. If one does not apply to your business, we leave it empty rather than put something untrue in it.

  • Your business name exactly as your sign reads, with no search terms or place names added
  • One primary category, plus additional categories for work you really do
  • Your address with the pin on your actual entrance, or a service area if you go to your customers
  • Opening hours, plus special hours for the public holidays coming up
  • A phone number someone answers, and a booking link if you take bookings online
  • Your website and social profiles, such as Facebook, Instagram or TikTok
  • Each service or product, with a description and a price if you want one shown
  • A business description, written by us in Thai and English
  • Attributes such as parking, wheelchair access and payment methods, as far as Google offers them for your category
  • Your logo, a cover photo, and photos of the front, the inside and your work, from pictures you send

฿9,900, paid once

There is one price, with no packages to compare and no monthly fee. It covers one profile for one business location.

  • The profile created in your own Google account, with you as owner and us as manager
  • Every field in the list above, filled in within Google's guidelines
  • The business description in Thai and English, written by us
  • Your photos, uploaded
  • Help through Google's verification, step by step

Once the profile is live, monthly Local SEO is the next step if you want to move into the top three on the map. It starts at ฿8,900 a month and is optional.

What you get

You end up with a finished, verified profile, and every detail on it matches the real place.

Built and verified in your own account

The profile lives in your Google account, with you as owner and us as manager. If we stop working together, there is nothing to hand back.

Opening hours, public holidays included

We add your regular hours and special hours for the holidays coming up, so customers do not turn up to a locked door.

Photos that match the real place

We use your own photos of the front, the inside and your work, so what people see on the map is what they find when they arrive.

The right categories and service area

We pick a primary category for your main line of work, add categories for what else you really do and set a service area if you travel to customers.

What you need to have ready

We do most of the work, but a few things can only come from the business owner.

A Google account the owner controls

An existing Gmail is fine. It should belong to the owner or the company, not to a member of staff who may leave one day.

Details that match your sign

We need the name on your sign, the address on your paperwork, a number someone answers and your hours. If the sign and the paperwork disagree, tell us before we start.

Photos of the real place

Send the front with the sign in view, the inside, your team and your work. Phone photos are fine, as long as they are yours and not taken from the internet.

Time for verification

Google verifies through the owner, not through us. If it asks for a video, you film it at the business on your phone, and we tell you beforehand what it needs to show.

Google chooses how each business is verified, and the methods on offer vary with the category and the area. A common one today is a short video filmed in one continuous take, showing the street or the shops next door, your sign or something with your business name on it, and proof that you run the place, such as opening up with your own keys or using the till. Some businesses are offered a phone call, a text or an email instead.

We prepare everything Google asks for and walk you through each step, but Google sets the timing, so we do not promise a date.

No shopfront? Set a service area

If you go to your customers, as a mobile massage team, an air-con technician, a cleaner or a tutor does, Google lets you set a service area instead of an address. The address you verify with stays off the map.

You can list up to 20 areas, such as districts or provinces, and Google's guidelines say the whole area should stay within about two hours' drive of your base. List the places you really go, not the whole country.

If customers can also come to you, the profile can show your address as well as the area you cover.

Mistakes that get profiles suspended

Google can suspend a profile that breaks its guidelines without notice, and getting it back is slow. We set yours up inside those guidelines from day one, to stay clear of all of these.

Search terms in the name

A name like "Best Thai Massage Sukhumvit" when the sign only shows the shop name breaks Google's rules. The profile name has to be the name you actually trade under.

A virtual office or PO box

Google does not accept an address with nobody there during business hours, a PO box or a mail-forwarding address. With no real premises, use a service area instead.

A second profile for the same place

If an old profile exists, fix it rather than start again. Two profiles for one business at one address break the rules and split your reviews between them.

A home address shown as a shop

If customers do not come to your home, Google wants the address hidden and a service area set. Showing it as a shopfront risks a suspension.

Bought reviews, or discounts for reviews

Fake reviews, reviews from staff and discounts in exchange for reviews all break Google's policy. Google removes them and can restrict the profile.

An online-only business

Profiles are for businesses that meet customers in person during their hours. A shop that only sells through a website or social media does not qualify, and we will tell you so on the first call.

How it works

01

You send the details

Send your name, address or service area, phone, hours and photos over LINE or email.

02

We build the profile

We choose the categories, write the description in two languages and fill in every field, all in your Google account.

03

Google's verification

We prepare what Google asks for and walk you through each step. Google sets the timing.

04

Handover

You own the profile and we are a manager on it. Keep us on for Local SEO, or remove us.

After the setup

A complete profile is where it starts. Google ranks the map on relevance, distance and prominence. The setup takes care of relevance, distance depends on where you are, and prominence is built month by month.

That monthly work is Local SEO: four profile posts a month, a system for asking real customers for reviews, details that match across the web, and a map ranking report every month. It starts at ฿8,900 a month, with no contract.

Google Business Profile FAQ

How much does Google Business Profile setup cost?

฿9,900, once. It covers every field, a description in two languages, your photos and help through verification. There is no monthly fee unless you choose Local SEO afterwards.

Google Business Profile is free. What am I paying for?

The profile is free, and Google charges nothing for it. You pay for the work: choosing the categories, writing the description in two languages, filling in every field within Google's guidelines and getting through verification. If you have the time and would rather do it yourself, you can.

I already have a profile with the wrong details. Can you fix it?

Yes. Add us as a manager through your account and we finish it properly, with no second profile. Tell us at the brief and we will quote before we start.

Can a business with no shopfront have one?

Yes. Google has a service-area profile for businesses that go to the customer: you set the area you cover instead of an address, and your real address is never shown publicly.

How long does verification take?

Google decides, so we do not promise a date. It depends on the method Google offers you and whether it asks for more proof. Our part is to have everything ready before you start, so you are not asked twice.

Will a new profile put me in the top three on Google Maps?

Not straight away, and we do not promise rankings. A complete profile helps Google match you to the right searches, but position also depends on how far away the searcher is and how well known you are, through reviews and details that match across the web. That builds over time, and it is what Local SEO does.

Who owns the profile if we stop working together?

You do. The profile sits in your Google account from day one and we are only a manager on it. Remove us whenever you like; there is nothing to hand back.

Do I need a website first?

No. A profile can go live without one, but a site is where Google confirms what you do and where you do it. If you have none, a ฿5,000 one-page site is enough for the profile to link to.
