On every listing page on Weblisting.ch, visitors see a map and the «Open in Google Maps» button. With one click they reach your location — for directions, opening hours, or a phone call.
What visitors see there
What Google Maps actually shows is decided by Google — not by Weblisting.ch. There are two possibilities:
- Your business has a Google Business Profile: Visitors see your business name, photos, reviews, opening hours, and a call button. That looks professional and builds trust.
- Your business has no Google profile: Google does not know your company and only shows the place — or, in the worst case, another business registered at the same address.
Your details on Weblisting.ch are correct in both cases: address, map, and pin match. Whether Google also shows your business profile depends only on whether you have created one with Google.
The solution: a free Google Business Profile
A Google Business Profile (formerly «Google My Business») is completely free — for setup, verification, and ongoing management. It benefits you in several ways:
- Your business appears in Google Search and Google Maps
- Customers find you when they search for your industry in your area
- You can add photos, opening hours, and your website
- Customers can leave reviews — and you can reply to them
- And: your listing on Weblisting.ch then leads directly to your full profile
How to set it up — in about 15 minutes
- Go to business.google.com/add and sign in with your Google account.
- Enter your business name — exactly as it appears officially.
- Choose the right category (e.g. «Restaurant», «Hair salon», «Auto repair shop»).
- Enter your address. No storefront? No problem — select the option that you visit or deliver to customers on site, and enter your service area. Your address then stays private.
- Add your phone number and website.
- Verification: Google checks that the business really belongs to you. This usually happens via a short video you record on your smartphone; depending on the case, also by phone, email, or postcard. It can take from a few minutes up to about two weeks.
- After verification, add photos, opening hours, and a description.
Tips for a strong profile
- Consistent details everywhere: Business name, address, and phone number on Google should match Weblisting.ch exactly. That helps both listings get found.
- Add photos: Profiles with images get clicked much more often than those without.
- Keep opening hours up to date: Nothing frustrates customers more than a closed door that still shows as «open».
- Reply to reviews: Be friendly and factual — even to criticism. Future customers will see that.
Note: Google Business Profile is a Google service and is independent of Weblisting.ch. We cannot create or manage it for you — setup and verification are handled solely by Google. If you have questions about your listing with us, we are always happy to help.
