Google Maps listing
for Indian businesses.
A Maps listing is the cheapest customer acquisition an Indian local business has access to, and most of them are leaving it on the table. Not because they have no listing — almost everyone does — but because it was created in ten minutes, given the obvious wrong category, never completed, and has not been touched since. This is the work that turns it into something that produces calls.
Send a business name and city. You get a geo-grid scan and a written finding on what is actually wrong — before any quote, and whether or not you go ahead.
You search your own business name and city, and nothing comes up
A listing exists but somebody else created it and you cannot edit it
Your competitor appears in the map pack and you do not
The listing shows the wrong hours, an old number, or four photos from 2022
You get found by name, but never by what you actually sell
Every item here is something within our control. The things that are not are listed further down, in their own section, rather than left out.
Claim it, or create it correctly
Older businesses usually have an unclaimed listing already sitting on Maps, generated from directory data. Claiming that is always better than creating a second one, because a new listing at the same address produces a duplicate that is harder to clear than the original problem. We check first, then claim or create accordingly.
Category research, not category guessing
The primary category decides which searches you are eligible for at all, and it is the field most often wrong. We reverse-engineer it: search your money keyword, open the profiles currently holding the map pack, and read what Google has already decided works for that query. Then up to nine secondary categories for everything else you genuinely do.
Verification handled end to end
We check Search Console eligibility first, because instant verification is available more often than businesses realise. Where video verification is required we direct the shot list — exterior context, the business operating, proof of management — and where a submission is rejected we diagnose the specific cause and resubmit rather than guessing.
A complete profile, not a verified empty one
Services and products with real descriptions. Attributes. Hours including holiday hours. A 750-character description written around search language. Ten photographs named descriptively before upload. Q&A seeded with the questions you actually get on the phone. Each field is another surface a query can match against.
NAP alignment across the directories that matter
Your name, address and phone made byte-identical across your website, your structured data, Justdial, IndiaMART, Sulekha and Bing Places. Conflicting data does not merely fail to help — Google reads it as an unreliable business and suppresses the listing accordingly.
A review mechanism your staff will actually use
A counter QR that opens your review page directly, a one-tap WhatsApp template for staff to send while the customer is still standing there, and the link printed on the invoice. Velocity beats volume, and velocity only happens when asking is a mechanism rather than an intention.
- Day 1
Audit and baseline
Current listing state, category comparison against the businesses holding your target pack, citation audit, and a geo-grid scan so you have a measured starting position rather than a screenshot.
- Day 1
Build and submit
Profile claimed or created with the researched category, aligned NAP and complete fields, then submitted for verification the same day.
- Minutes to 7 days
Verification
Instant or phone where available, video directed and submitted where required, rejections diagnosed and resubmitted. This clock is Google's, not ours.
- Week 1
Completion and handover
Photos, services, products, attributes, Q&A and the review system installed, then a walkthrough so your team can run it without us.
This section costs us work and we would rather lose it here than on a call three weeks in.
- We cannot choose your verification method — Google decides it from your category, address history and account standing
- We do not guarantee a ranking position, because Maps results are personalised by how far the searcher is standing from you
- We do not buy, incentivise or write fake reviews under any circumstances
- We do not add keywords to your business name, which is the most common cause of suspension
Asked on almost every call
Including the ones where the honest answer is the less impressive one.
The profile is built, checked and submitted the same day you engage. When it goes live depends on the verification method Google offers you: instant, phone, SMS and email verification resolve in minutes, video verification is typically reviewed in three to seven days, and postcard verification takes five to fourteen. We check Search Console eligibility first because instant verification is available more often than businesses expect.
- Usually more so. Most existing listings were created quickly, given a category that sounds right rather than one that ranks, and never completed. The audit tells you in a day whether yours is genuinely fine or whether the primary category is putting you in a race you cannot win.
- Yes, in most cases. There is a formal ownership request process, and where the current owner does not respond within the window, ownership transfers. Where they contest it, it becomes a documentation case — registration, GST, utility bill, signage photographs. We handle both routes.
- It depends on whether we are claiming an existing listing, creating a new one, or untangling a duplicate or a suspension first, so we quote after the audit rather than before. The audit itself is free and produces a written baseline you can act on with or without us.
Send a business name
and a city.
We'll run the geo-grid scan on your current Maps position and send back the grid — the same artefact a paying client gets monthly. No call required, no obligation attached.
