Why and how to manage my services?

Discover how the description of your services can boost your local referencing!

Your Google Business Profile has 3 functions:

  1. Make you visible

  2. Inform your visitors

  3. Inspire their confidence

By allowing you to present your services, Google helps you to achieve the second objective. Nevertheless, Google is a visitor in its own right. By describing your activities, you help him to know you better and therefore better reference you!

How does the 'Services' section on Google Business Profile work?

Concretely, Google allows you to describe the services corresponding to each category of activity on your profile, without limit of number.

Please note: The services section can only be consulted from a cell phone.

 

Better yet, the search engine can use the content of this section to reference you on a search. In the example below, the query "brake" brings up an establishment with the mention of the service in question.
