How to do it, step by step
- Go to google.com/business and sign in with your Google account.
- Enter your business name, category, and service area.
- Verify it. Google may ask for a short video or a postcard.
- Ask Gemini: "Write a 750-character Google Business description for my [business] in [town]." Paste it in.
- Add at least 10 photos of your work, then ask happy customers to leave a review.
Tip: Ask for reviews right after a job goes well. A simple text with your review link works best.
