Google Business Profile: a local SEO checklist for Saudi businesses
When someone searches “café near me” or “dental clinic in Jeddah”, Google Maps results appear first. Your Google Business Profile is often the first impression customers have of you.
1. Claim and verify your profile
Make sure you own the profile and that the business name, category and location are correct.
2. Complete every field — in Arabic and English
Add opening hours (including Ramadan hours), phone, WhatsApp, website, services and attributes.
3. Add real photos regularly
Show your location, team, products and atmosphere. Fresh photos help customers decide.
4. Ask for reviews — and reply to all of them
Make it easy for happy customers to leave a review, and reply politely to every review, positive or negative.
5. Post updates and offers
Use posts for new products, seasonal offers and events to keep your profile active.
