How to write a good Google Business description
- Say what you are and where in the first sentence: "Harbour Street Café is a café in Byron Bay".
- List your main services in the words customers type into Google: "blocked drains" beats "drainage solutions".
- Say who you help and which areas you cover.
- Add what makes you different, but only what’s true: family-owned, licensed, open early, dog friendly.
- End with a next step: call, book online or drop in.
Google’s rules for the description
- 750 characters at most, and no web addresses or HTML (Google: edit your Business Profile).
- No focus on promotions, prices or sales, no links of any kind, nothing irrelevant, and no gimmicky characters (Google: guidelines for representing your business).
