Keep the basics accurate: your business name, contact details, opening hours and the services you provide. Check these details on your website and, if your business is eligible, in your Google Business Profile.

Google explains that local results depend on relevance, distance and prominence. Complete, accurate information helps Google understand your business, but it does not guarantee a particular ranking.

Make a short list of the pages your customers use most. Review opening hours, services and contact information when something changes. Remove details that are no longer accurate and check that links still lead to the right place.
