Google Business Profile Description

A Google Business Profile description is the written overview a business can add to its profile to explain what it does.

A Google Business Profile description is a written overview that explains what a business does and what makes it relevant to customers. A handyman business might describe its repair services, experience, and the people or areas it serves. The description differs from the profile's separate service entries, which list particular offerings. Google advises businesses to provide accurate, useful information about their products, services, mission, or history. Its current guidelines do not allow links in the description, and they prohibit descriptions focused on promotions, prices, or sales offers. The description should not be stuffed with repetitive search terms or exaggerated claims. Google may offer AI-assisted description suggestions in some regions and languages, but the business remains responsible for reviewing accuracy. A compliant description helps explain the business; it does not guarantee improved local rankings or that profile edits will be displayed immediately.
