Google Business Profile Setup

The foundation every Traction service is built on, built for you.

No verified Google listing? Let our team handle the paperwork, the category setup and Google's verification process, and build you a compliant Business Profile from scratch: the foundation your business needs to collect reviews, sync your listings and compete in local search.

Prerequisite · C$150 one-time · Only if you don't already have a verified profile

Why it's required

Every Traction service runs on Google's infrastructure.

Your review invitations send customers to your Google profile. Listings Management uses it as the master record for 55+ directories. The Review Showcase reads from it. Google Business Messaging lives on it. Without a verified profile, none of it can start.

Setting one up isn't a switch you flip. Google checks identity strictly, and profiles with the wrong categories or an address that breaks its rules get rejected or suspended. That's the work this service takes off your hands.

Traction services that need a verified profile: Reviews & Reputation, Listings Management, the Review Showcase and the Google Business Messaging add-on.

How it works

Four steps from nothing to verified.

01

Document audit

We collect and format your official documents, such as an Ontario Master Business Licence, a recent utility bill and photos of your storefront or branded vehicles, against Google's verification standards.

02

Technical build

We create the profile, choose the right primary and secondary categories, set your service-area boundaries and configure your canonical name, address and phone.

03

Verification, coached

If Google sends a postcard, we track it and enter the PIN. If it asks for a video, we coach you to film one continuous recording of your vehicle, tools and local street signage.

04

Linked to MomentumOS

Once verified, we connect the profile through Google's secure sign-in, so reviews, the showcase and listings can begin.

Good to know

Straight answers.

I already have a profile, but it isn't verified. Do I need this?

Yes. Traction needs an active, verified profile. We review what you have and complete verification as part of this service.

I already have a verified profile. Do I need this?

No. You connect it to MomentumOS during onboarding at no extra cost.

What documents will I need?

Typically an Ontario Master Business Licence, a recent utility bill, and photos of your physical storefront or branded service vehicles. We tell you exactly what Google is likely to ask for.

How long does verification take?

Google sets the timeline, and it varies, especially for video verification. We keep you updated and switch on your services as soon as it's done.
