Google Business Profile and Your Website: Keep the Basics Consistent
Review your website and Business Profile for accurate services, contact information and opening arrangements. Avoid invented locations and review claims.
In this guide
A visitor finds one phone number on a business profile and a different one on the website. Even when both routes work, the mismatch can create doubt about which information is current.
Audit the customer-facing facts
Check the business name, genuine address or service arrangement, phone number, website link and opening hours. Use the provider's rules for the profile rather than treating it as a place to add every keyword. Do not list an address where customers cannot legitimately find the business under the applicable profile rules.
Keep service descriptions accurate
A profile and website can use different levels of detail while describing the same offer. Review old services, discontinued locations and outdated booking links. If customer reviews are displayed on the website, retain their genuine source and do not invent totals or ratings.
- Check the destination of the website and booking links.
- Confirm the correct international phone format.
- Review holiday or temporary opening arrangements.
- Keep photographs relevant and properly authorised.
- Record who can maintain the business profile.
Test as a new customer
On a phone, follow the route from profile to website to enquiry. Check whether the requested service, location and contact method remain clear. A correct profile link that lands on a confusing page still leaves work to do.
Avoid a ranking promise
Accurate information is a sensible foundation, not a guarantee of a map position. Local results consider several factors outside a website edit. Measure real enquiries and correct obvious inconsistencies before buying more elaborate visibility claims.
