How to Create and Optimize Your Google Business Profile
This workshop gives small business owners and solopreneurs a clear, step-by-step introduction to creating a Google Business Profile using the right keywords, categories, and settings to get the most out of this free tool. Participants will learn how to set up their profile correctly, avoid common pitfalls, and ensure their business appears in Google Search and Maps where customers are actively looking.
The session also includes a brief introduction to Google Workspace and how it can help businesses stay organized, operate more efficiently, and present a professional, trustworthy brand across email and digital tools.
Building on these basics, the workshop then covers how to optimize a Google Business Profile so customers can find, choose, and trust a business online. Key topics include:
- Claiming, verifying, and completing a Google Business Profile
- Selecting the right business name, categories, keywords, and attributes
- Adding photos, services, and descriptions that support search visibility
- Understanding reviews, the Local Pack, and how customers evaluate businesses online
- Best practices for updates, posts, and ongoing engagement
By the end of the session, participants will understand how to build a strong, discoverable Google presence — and how to maintain it so their business stands out in local search!
