Align Your Google Business Profile and Website
Use one verified business record to reconcile the website and Google Business Profile.
Book a Free CallThe decision to make
Use one verified business record to reconcile the website and Google Business Profile. Current name, contact details, operating model, hours, and territory should describe the same business.
Establish the source record
Have the business owner confirm the public name, primary phone, website, customer-facing hours, services, and current location model. Separate mailing addresses, private residences, and places customers can visit. Record the date and owner of the information. Do not treat an old directory listing as proof that an address is still current.
Inspect the visible customer path
Compare the profile with the website contact page, footer, service pages, and booking destination. Google's representation rules distinguish storefront and service-area arrangements. Apply the current rules to the actual business. Fix contradictions that could make a customer call the wrong number or travel to a place that does not receive visitors.
Control future changes
Keep a small change log for moves, hours, phone routing, and service changes. Update connected surfaces from the same confirmed record and read back the published result. A planned relocation should remain a plan until it happens. Recheck important directories after the core profile and website are accurate.

A practical question
Must a service-area business publish a home address?
Follow Google's rules for the actual business model. A private home that does not receive customers should not be presented as a public storefront.
