You don't have a website yet, but you want to be found on Google and maps? Start with your business card - it's free and you can set it up yourself in twenty minutes.
What is it?
Google Bedrijfsprofiel (Polish: Business Card on Google, formerly Google My Business) is a panel with the name, hours and phone number next to the search results and a pin on the map. Setup, verification and maintenance are free of charge.
What to fill out
- Name — exactly as on the sign and in KvK. Notes such as “plumber Rotterdam cheap” are detected and suspended by Google.
- Area of operation instead of address, if you travel to your clients - then your home address is not public.
- Holiday hours - Google will show “closed” instead of sending people for nothing.
- Homemade photos - Google explicitly recommends them; People will recognize photos from the bank in a second.
- Side — don't you have it? Leave it blank or point to a Facebook profile. An empty link is better than a dead one.
Verification and opinions
Google confirms that the company is yours - usually with a piece of paper with a code to the company's address, sometimes with a phone call or a recording. Until then, you will not respond to any reviews. And it's worth responding: the business card looks like it's being kept, and the next customer reads not only the accusation, but also your response.
The business card will not show the implementation, price list or answers to pre-order questions - that's what the website is for. But make a business card first: it's free and works immediately.
The business card is already there? The next step is the website
There is a “Website” field on your business card. It leads to where the customer will see your projects, price list and answers to questions he has before ordering.
We create such a website within 24 hours of the materials, and you only pay when you decide it's OK: €149. The price includes up to 5 subpages, mobile version, KvK and BTW in the footer, and the first year of domain, hosting and email. After payment, the website is yours.
Already have a website? We will check it for free: whether it works on the phone, whether the number can be clicked and whether KvK and BTW are visible.
