How to list your services on your Google My Business profile

By far, Google owns the largest share of web searches. Over 90 percent of users conduct internet searches through Google. Creating and optimizing a Google Business Profile helps attract consumers looking for your service offerings. After the initial setup of a Google Business Profile, you can edit your listing anytime. One of the most important steps of editing a profile is to include details about your company’s services.  

Step 1

Log in to your Google Business Profile. Choose the one you wish to edit from the populated list if you have multiple listings. You’ll need to change each location individually if you have more than one place of business.

Step 2

Select the Info menu option from your Google Business Profile Dashboard. From here, you may select the Services menu. Alternatively, you can access the Services menu from the Edit Profile option.

Step 3

Choose Add More Services. You’ll need to go to the Add More Services editor to create a brand-new service option. To help streamline the process, Google provides a list of suggestions based on your business category. For instance, landscaping companies may see service options such as landscape lighting, design, edging, and lawn care. You can create a custom field if the desired service doesn’t come up automatically. Services can’t include any links or pricing information.

Step 4

Include details about the services. For instance, if you’re a hair salon, you could expand the menu to include the types of cuts and upgrade options available instead of choosing only haircuts as a service offering. Save any changes before exiting the menu.  

Step 5

Edit any services frequently. You can go back to the Services option from the Edit Profile menu. Choose a current service offering from your dashboard. Once selected, you can make any edits or delete the service if no longer current.

Step 6

Organize services into categories. While editing any new or existing service, you can assign a category to organize listings better. For instance, hair salons may have categories for men, women, and children. Remember to save all progress before exiting the Google Business Profile.
