What is a Google Business Profile (GBP)?

What a Google Business Profile is, why it matters for your business, and how UENI helps you set one up.

A Google Business Profile (GBP) is a free Google tool that helps customers find your business on Google Search and Google Maps. Whether you have a storefront or visit customers on-site, it's one of the most important parts of a professional online presence.

How it works

Once your profile is set up and verified, your business details appear on Google Search and Google Maps, like this:
