Setting Up Your Business Profile
Configure your business information, contact details, and preferences to personalize your website.
After creating your first site, you'll want to configure your business profile. This information appears throughout your website and helps customers contact you.
Business Information
Company Name
Your official business name as it appears on your license and signage. This will be displayed in the header, footer, and browser title.
Example: "Smith's Locksmith Services" or "Mike's HVAC Repair"
Tagline (Optional)
A short phrase describing what you do.
Examples:
- "24/7 Emergency Locksmith Services"
- "Your Trusted Local Plumber Since 2010"
- "Licensed & Insured HVAC Professionals"
Logo
Upload your business logo. If you don't have one, your business name will display instead.
Recommended size: 200 x 80 pixels Formats: PNG (best for logos with transparency), JPG, or SVG
Contact Information
Phone Numbers
Primary Phone Your main business line. This appears in the header and on click-to-call buttons.
Emergency Line (Optional) If you have a separate number for after-hours emergencies, add it here.
Best Practices:
- Use the number you actually answer
- Consider a dedicated business line
- Forward to mobile when you're in the field
Email Address
Where you want contact form submissions to go. Use your professional email (you@yourbusiness.com) rather than personal email if possible.
Physical Address
Your business address. If you work from home and don't want to display your home address, you can:
- Use a PO Box
- Use "Mobile Service - We Come to You"
- Display just your city and state
Business Hours
Enter your regular business hours. Be accurate - nothing frustrates customers more than calling during "business hours" and not reaching anyone.
Options:
- Standard hours (9 AM - 5 PM)
- Extended hours
- Different hours by day
- 24/7 availability
Tip: If you offer 24/7 emergency service, highlight this prominently.
Service Areas
Adding Service Areas
List every city, town, and neighborhood you serve. Be thorough - this helps with local SEO.
Example for a Seattle-area plumber:
- Seattle
- Bellevue
- Kirkland
- Redmond
- Renton
- Kent
- Auburn
Creating Service Area Pages
For best local SEO results, create a dedicated page for each major city you serve. This helps you rank when someone searches "[service] in [city]".
Go to Pages > Add Page > Service Area Page to create one.
