Top 5 Google Business Profile Tips for Dubai Companies
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) is one of the most powerful free tools you can use to dominate local search results in the UAE. Here’s how Dubai-based businesses can optimize it like pros.
1. Claim and Verify Your Listing
If you haven’t claimed your business, do it now. Verifying your business ensures it appears on Google Maps and in the local pack—prime real estate for search visibility.
2. Add Complete Business Info
Fill out every field: business name, category, phone number, website, hours, and attributes. Be sure to list accurate Arabic and English translations where applicable to appeal to all UAE users.
3. Upload High-Quality Photos
Images build trust. Upload professional photos of your storefront, team, or services. Businesses with photos receive 42% more direction requests and 35% more clicks.
4. Collect Local Reviews
Positive reviews boost your credibility and ranking. Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews and always respond to them, showing you care about feedback.
5. Use Google Posts
Keep your listing fresh with weekly updates, offers, or blog post snippets. It’s a mini-social feed right on your search result page.
Final Thought
An optimized Google Business Profile is your digital storefront. For Dubai and UAE-based companies, it could mean the difference between being seen—and being skipped.
