We publish your business professionally on Google Maps and Google Search. We manage the verification process - you focus on your business.

// What Is Google Business Profile Setup?

Google Business Profile setup makes a business visible on Google Maps and in local search results by creating and verifying its official profile. Zep Bilisim delivers a turnkey service covering profile creation, verification management, category and image optimization, and the first Google Post publication.

// Why Is Being on Google Maps So Important?

When users look for a service or business, their first step is Google. The vast majority of "near me" searches convert to a physical visit or phone call within 24 hours. If your business isn't on Google Maps, that entire traffic flows directly to your competitors. Don't be misled by the fact that registration is free - correct category, verification method, description and initial configuration require a professional approach.

A misconfigured profile isn't just ineffective - it's at risk of suspension. At Zep Bilisim we build a profile that is 100% compliant with Google Business Profile policies, carefully categorized, SEO-friendly in its description and image-optimized.

// What Exactly Is This Service?

Google Business Profile setup is the process of making your business visible on Google Maps and Google Search through the Google Business Profile tool. We create a complete, optimized and policy-compliant profile in your name. We walk you through the verification process (postcard, phone, video, email) and fill in all essential fields - category, services, hours, description, photos, product and service lists - and launch the profile.

Whether you're opening a new business, introducing yours to Google Maps for the first time, or reclaiming a suspended profile, we manage the full process. After registration our Local SEO (Google Maps) service can push your profile past competitors.

// Who Is This For?

Google Business Profile is a foundational digital step for any business with a physical address or a regional service area. Restaurants, shops, clinics, salons, workshops and offices with fixed locations require it. For service-area businesses (plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, movers) Google allows the "service area" model with the address hidden.

New businesses use it to be visible from day one, owners of abandoned or suspended profiles use it for reinstatement, and multi-location chains use it as a per-branch package. If you're opening a new business, combining this with our corporate web design makes a unified launch package.

// Frequently Asked Questions

Registration on Google Business Profile is free from Google. Zep Bilisim charges for professional setup, category research, verification management, description and image optimization, and first-publication preparation.

It depends on the method. Phone verification can be instant; video verification takes 3-5 business days; postcard verification takes 5-14 business days. Google often prefers video for new accounts - we guide you step by step.

Yes. For 'service area' businesses like plumbers, electricians or consultants, Google allows registration without a public address using the 'service area' model. The address is hidden but the service zone appears on the map.

Suspensions usually stem from policy violations (wrong category, misleading name, conflicting address) or ownership conflicts. We analyze the cause, prepare a reinstatement application and apply needed fixes. Our success rate is 70%+.

Google recommends a minimum of 10 photos; 20-30 perform better - exterior, interior, team, products/services, logo, cover image. Minimum 720x720, JPG/PNG. We give you a category-by-category checklist.

After verification your profile is visible on Google Maps within 24-72 hours. To rank high, you need Local SEO (Google Maps) - registration is only the start.
