Google listing set-up / London
When someone searches for a business like yours on Google Maps or Apple Maps, your listing is what they see first. I set up your Google Business Profile and your Apple Business Connect listing, so your name, address or service area, hours, services and photos are correct in both. I do the work myself.
I'm Obi Spencer, and I work from West Hampstead. The set-up is £199, one-off, and I quote it in writing before I start.

Business name, categories, services, description, hours, contact details, website link, photos, and a link you can send customers to leave a review.
Your listing for Apple Maps, with the same name, hours, category, website, phone and photos, so both are consistent.
I keep the details identical on both, and on your website, so search engines can tell they are the same business.
I add the photos you send me. If you would like new ones, I can shoot them for an extra fee, quoted in writing.
Google asks you to prove the business is yours before the profile goes live. It decides the method, and it can be a video, a phone call, an email or a postcard. I guide you through it. Apple Business Connect has its own check, usually by phone or documents.
Some businesses need to show signage, staff or a location, depending on the type of business and address. I tell you at the start what yours will need.
I cannot decide where your business appears on Google or Apple Maps, and I cannot guarantee reviews. Rankings depend on Google's and Apple's own systems, your category, your location, competition, and the reviews you earn. What I can do is set the profile up correctly and completely, and make it easy for happy customers to review you.
Your reviews must come from real customers. I do not buy or write reviews and I do not offer gifts for them.
New businesses opening in London that need to be found from day one, and existing businesses with a missing, wrong or half-finished profile. It is part of launch set-up. Hospitality owners: see hospitality. Want to do it yourself first? Read my checklist for setting up a Google Business Profile.
Common questions
A Google Business Profile controls how you appear on Google Search and Google Maps. Apple Business Connect controls how you appear in Apple Maps, and in apps and Siri that use Apple's maps. Many customers use both, so I set up both.
Your business name, a contact phone number, your website, your opening hours and your address or service area. Apple checks that the business is yours, usually by phone or documents.
It usually takes a few days, depending on Google. Google and Apple decide when they approve a listing.
No. Nobody can. I make the profile accurate and complete and give you a link for reviews. Where you appear is up to Google and Apple.
