What is Google Business Profile?
Short answer
Google Business Profile is the free listing that shows a business's name, phone number, hours, photos and reviews on Google search results and on Google maps.
Google Business Profile, explained for tree service owners
For a local tree service, your Google Business Profile is often the first thing a homeowner sees. It shows your phone number, service areas, photos, hours and reviews, and it lets people call or message you straight from the search result. A complete, accurate profile helps you appear in local searches and helps customers trust you. Keep your categories, services and hours correct, add real photos of finished jobs, and reply to reviews. You control the listing for free, so it is one of the cheapest ways to be found.
