FAQs
Is Google My Business really free?
Yes. Managing your profile costs nothing. You only pay if you choose to run ads, which is optional.
What if I serve customers at their location in Riverview?
Hide your street address and set a service area that covers Riverview and nearby areas. Keep hours and phone number visible.
Can I use my home address in Dieppe?
Yes, but hide it if you do not want visitors. Verification can still work with a postcard or other methods.
How often should I post updates?
Once a week is enough for most businesses. Share a photo, a short offer, or a quick tip that helps your customers.
