If customers can’t find you on Maps, they go to someone they can find. This course shows you how to set up and clean up your Google profile yourself.

I do this work for clients at Word of Mouth Hosting. This is the same process, taught so you can do the first pass on your own.

What you will do

  1. See what “found on Maps” actually means, and what this course will and will not do.
  2. Claim or reopen your Google Business Profile.
  3. Walk the 10 points that decide whether people can find you.
  4. Set the name, categories, and services Google expects.
  5. Fix hours, phone, website, and the address details that trip people up.
  6. Choose photos that help, and take down the ones that hurt.
  7. Ask for reviews in a way that follows Google’s rules.
  8. Use posts, Q&A, and a 15-minute monthly check so the profile doesn’t go stale.
  9. Spot common problems (a suspension, a duplicate, a wrong location) and know what to do next.
  10. Decide when to keep doing it yourself, and when to hand it to the Tune-Up.

About 45 to 75 minutes in total. Short lessons. You can pause and do the work on your own profile as you go.

FAQ

Is this for me?
Yes, if you have a local business and a Google Business Profile, or you need to create one. If you already have a profile, we start by cleaning it up.

Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can log in to Google, you can follow this.

Is this current with Google’s rules?
The lessons will be checked against Google’s own help pages before we deliver them. I’ll review them about once a quarter after that.

Will this put me at the top of Maps?
I won’t promise a ranking. I will show you the work that belongs on your profile.

What if I want you to do it for me?
That’s the $149 Tune-Up. Course buyers get a credit for what they paid.

What if the course is late?
If it is not in your account by Friday, December 11, 2026, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time, you get an automatic refund.
