Google Business Profile: A Setup Checklist for Bellingham Owners

Your Google Business Profile is often the very first thing a customer sees — before your website. Yet most local profiles are missing categories, services, photos, or an up-to-date description. Completing it is free and one of the highest-return hours you'll spend on marketing.

The checklist

• Verify the profile and set the correct primary and secondary categories.
• Add every service with a short description.
• Write a keyword-aware business description (Bellingham + what you do).
• Add 10+ real photos and keep hours accurate.
• Turn on messaging and add a link to your website.

Keep it alive

A profile isn't set-and-forget. Post updates, answer questions, and respond to reviews. Google rewards active, maintained profiles, and customers trust them more.
