What is a Google Business Profile?
A Google Business Profile is the free listing that shows your business on Google Search and Maps, with your hours, services, photos and reviews. Cenqora Labs sets the profile up, checks that your name, address and phone match wherever they appear online, and keeps it active with posts and photos. You stay the owner.
Is Google Business Profile free, and is it the same as GMB?
Yes to both. Google charges nothing for a Business Profile, and GMB, short for Google My Business, is its old name. Cenqora Labs charges for the set-up and management work, such as categories, services, photos, posts and review replies. You add us as a manager and stay the owner.
Can I have a Google Business Profile without a public address?
Yes, if you travel to your customers. Google asks a service-area business to hide its address and show the areas it serves. A virtual office does not qualify unless it is staffed during business hours. Source: Google's guidelines for representing your business, read 12 November 2026.
Does a Google Business Profile need a website?
No. A Google Business Profile works without a website: customers can call you or get directions from the listing. A website adds a place to explain your services and take enquiries, and the profile can link to it. Cenqora Labs sets up both together in Get Online.
Can Cenqora Labs guarantee a top spot on Google Maps?
No one can. Google says local results are based mainly on relevance, distance and popularity, and that there is no way to request or pay for a better local ranking. Cenqora Labs keeps your Google Business Profile complete, accurate and active. Source: Google's local ranking tips, read 12 November 2026.
Can Cenqora Labs get my business more Google reviews?
We can ask every customer, but no one can promise reviews. With Review Request Automation, each genuine customer who agreed to messages gets the same request after a sale or visit. Cenqora Labs follows Google's review rules: no rewards for reviews, no discouraging bad ones and no asking happy customers alone. Source: Google's review policy, read 12 November 2026.
How long does Google Business Profile set-up take?
Google Business Profile Setup is planned at about 1 week, plus Google's ownership check. Google decides how and when it checks a business, so Cenqora Labs cannot set that date. You provide your business details and photos, add us as a manager and stay the owner of the profile.
What changes the cost of Google Business Profile management?
The cost of Google Business Profile management depends on whether you need the one-time set-up, monthly management or both, and on extras such as Review Request Automation or replies to reviews on other platforms. Google charges nothing for the profile itself. Cenqora Labs lists each line on Google Business Profile pricing.
Does Cenqora Labs set up Google Business Profiles across India?
Yes. Cenqora Labs sets up and manages Google Business Profiles for businesses across India and worldwide. We work by phone and video and meet in person across Delhi NCR. Business hours are Monday to Saturday, 10:00 to 19:00 India time. Google gives a business profile to businesses that serve customers at a place or in an area.
