What Is Google Business Profile (GMB)?

Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is Google’s local listing platform that allows your business to appear in:

  • Google Maps

  • The Local 3-Pack

  • Local service searches across California

  • Brand and non-brand searches

Your GMB listing displays:

  • Business name & service area

  • Phone number & directions

  • Reviews and ratings

  • Services and categories

  • Photos, updates, and Q&A

For California service businesses, this is often the highest-converting digital asset you own.

How Google Business Profile Drives Local Calls in California

A properly optimized GMB listing helps you:

  • Rank in the Google Maps 3-Pack

  • Appear for “near me” and city-based searches

  • Convert mobile users into callers

  • Capture high-intent local traffic

  • Reduce dependency on Google Ads

For service businesses across Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, Fresno, and surrounding areas, GMB is often responsible for 60%–80% of total inbound calls.
