What a Business Profile does
It shows your name, location, hours, phone number, photos and reviews on Google Search and Maps. It is free and is one of the most useful things a local business can set up.
What it cannot do
You get a small, fixed layout that looks the same as every competitor’s. There is limited room to explain your services, show a full menu or price list, or tell your story.
What a website adds
A website is your own space: as much detail as customers need, designed around your brand, on an address you own. Your Business Profile can link to it, sending interested searchers somewhere that answers every question.
Use both
Set up your free Business Profile, add your website link to it, and keep your hours and details the same on both. Google trusts businesses whose information matches everywhere.
