Choose the most specific category possible (for example, 'Mexican restaurant' instead of just 'restaurant') because this single field strongly determines which search queries can surface your listing
This area shows your average star rating and review count; regular, recent reviews and timely responses build prominence and trust more effectively than infrequent bursts
Ensure the business name, address, and phone number match exactly across your website and all directories; small inconsistencies reduce the trust signals search engines use for prominence
Regularly add authentic photos of the exterior, interior, staff, and products; fresh, real images signal an actively managed and legitimate business to users and search engines
Use posts and the Q&A section frequently to share updates, promotions, and to answer customer questions — ongoing activity shows the profile is alive rather than abandoned
