• List each service with a short description.
• Upload at least ten real photos: exterior, interior, team and work.
• Add your service areas, only places you genuinely serve.

Week 3: consistent listings and website signals

• Make your business name, address and phone number identical across Justdial, Sulekha, IndiaMART, Facebook, Instagram and other relevant listings.
• Make sure each main service has its own page with unique text.
• Add your address, map and phone number to the contact page and footer.
• Check the website loads quickly on mobile.

Week 4: reviews and activity

What to avoid

Do not use fake addresses, add keywords to your business name, buy reviews or create several listings for one location. These can lead to suspension. Read more in our guide to the Google Business Profile service.
