A profile view is a customer standing at your door. Whether they knock depends on what they see in the next few seconds: can they tell what you do, where you are, and whether you are open right now?
Most listings lose calls for simple reasons that are easy to fix. Here is where to focus first.
AT A GLANCE
Be reachable
A working number, shown clearly.
Be specific
Say exactly what you do and where.
Be ready
Answer, call back and follow up fast.
Make your phone number impossible to miss
Check that the number on your listing is the one your team actually answers. A disconnected line or a number that rings an empty office quietly costs you customers every day.
If you use a separate line for new enquiries, use that one on your listing so new callers reach someone ready to help them.
Tell people exactly what you do
Customers call when they are confident you handle their problem. A vague description such as "quality service for all your needs" gives them nothing to act on. Name your main services in plain words, the way a customer would search for them.
- List the services people ask for most
- Mention the areas you cover if you travel to customers
- Say whether you take walk-ins, appointments or both

Accurate opening hours are one of the strongest reasons people call. If your hours are wrong, customers either arrive to a locked door or assume you are closed and move on. Update holiday hours before the holiday, not after.
Give a reason to call now
Photos of real work, recent reviews and clear answers to common questions all lower the risk of picking up the phone. With Premium you can add services, FAQs and your team, so a customer has everything they need before they dial.
