Tighes Hill
A Google Business Profile for your first year in business
TAFE NSW Newcastle sits on Maitland Road in Tighes Hill and runs trades courses for the Hunter. If you are finishing your trade and starting a business of your own, the first place most customers will look you up is your Google Business Profile.
I help new tradies set it up properly from day one, from Grey Street in Wickham, about 5 minutes away.
Day one
Get the setup right from the start
Most tradies work at the customer’s place, not from a shop. Google treats that as a service-area business: one profile, with a service area set, and your home address hidden. Getting this right at the start avoids a suspension or a rebuild later.
- Your business name.
- The name on your ute and your invoices, with no extra keywords. Google can suspend a profile for stuffing words into the name.
- Your category.
- The one that describes your main trade, plus only the extras that are true.
- Your services.
- Each job you want to be found for, in the words customers use.
- Your service area.
- Where you will genuinely travel. Google says it should not go beyond about two hours’ drive from your base.
Verification
Verification
Google chooses how you verify. Video is common: be ready to show your ute, your tools and your business paperwork. Google says verification reviews take up to 5 business days.
Reviews
The first reviews
A new profile has no reviews. Ask every happy customer from your very first job, and reply to every review. Reviews are part of how Google judges how well known you are.
Photos
Photos from the job
Photos of your real work, taken on the job, are the most useful thing on a new profile.

It helps, but a complete profile comes first.
