Pet service businesses · Google Business Profile

Show up when someone nearby searches for boarding before a trip.

A Google Business Profile for a pet business is often the first thing a parent checks when searching for grooming or boarding near them. They compare photos, hours and reviews before calling. GullySales completes and keeps this profile current with real facility photos.

Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What Google Business Profile means

A Google Business Profile is the free listing that shows your address, hours, photos and reviews when someone searches for your business or a nearby competitor on Google and Maps. GullySales sets it up correctly, keeps it updated and posts to it regularly so it works as a steady source of calls and direction requests.

For pet service businesses

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

  • “Real facility photos decide the call, not the description”

    A parent comparing two boarding centres nearby chooses the one whose photos show a clean, real space.

  • “Category and service list decide who finds you”

    Selecting the exact services, grooming, boarding or training, brings in the specific search rather than a generic pet-shop search.

  • “Q&A and reviews matter more here than for many businesses”

    A worried parent reads the Q&A section for safety questions before ever picking up the phone.

What we do

What we deliver for pet service businesses.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

  1. Full profile build-out with real facility photos

    Hours, services, categories and a current set of real kennel and grooming photos, replacing any placeholder or stock image.

    Result: A parent scrolling two boarding listings can see your actual kennels.

  2. Service category and listing accuracy check

    The exact services, grooming, boarding or training, set correctly so the profile surfaces for the specific search rather than a generic one.

    Result: The right kind of enquiry reaches you, not a mismatched one.

  3. Q&A section pre-filled with safety answers

    The safety and supervision questions parents ask most, answered in the profile's Q&A section before anyone has to ask.

    Result: A worried parent's first question is already answered when they land.

  4. Review reply routine

    A regular routine for replying to new reviews, especially any about safety or a pet's stay, kept current rather than left unanswered.

    Result: A recent, replied-to review reassures the next parent scrolling past.

  5. Photo refresh schedule

    A standing plan to add fresh facility and pet photos every so often, so the profile never looks out of date.

    Result: A returning visitor sees a profile that looks actively run.

How the result is measured

  • Profile views
  • Calls from the listing
  • Direction requests

Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

What the profile needs

What a pet business's profile needs so a worried owner can verify the place before leaving the dog.

Premises or service area, whichever is true
A boarding centre or salon owners visit shows its address. A mobile grooming van with no premises uses a service area. Check Google's current guidelines for your set-up.
One primary category per main service
Set the category for your biggest earner, such as pet boarding or pet groomer, then add others only for services you run on site. Check Google's current category list.
The name on the signboard
Use the real name of the centre. Words like best or cheapest dog boarding are often refused. Put the services and area in the description instead.
Services by pet and size
List dogs, cats and other animals separately, and say whether you take large breeds. Owners searching for a cat boarder skip a listing that only says pets.
Photographs of the kennels and the people
Show the runs, play area, grooming table and the staff on duty. Do not post any owner's pet without their permission, and keep cages clean in every shot.
Drop-off hours stated apart from appointments
Enter the hours owners can drop off and collect, and note the vaccination proof you require, so nobody arrives at a closed gate with an unvaccinated pet.

How it works

From your first message to the first report.

No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.

  1. First

    Your brief

    You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.

  2. After the brief

    A conversation and a written scope

    We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.

  3. Before work starts

    Baseline recorded

    The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.

  4. After the baseline

    The first fix goes live

    The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.

  5. As agreed

    Report against the baseline

    What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.

  6. At renewal

    Renew on the numbers

    The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.

How the google business profile work runs

  1. 1

    Understand your locations

    We confirm every branch, its correct details and which categories genuinely match what it offers.

  2. 2

    Audit current profiles

    We check what is wrong, outdated or missing on each existing listing.

  3. 3

    Correct and complete

    Every profile is brought up to date, with services, hours and photos filled in properly.

  4. 4

    Implement ongoing activity

    Posts, photos and review replies are added on a regular schedule rather than occasionally.

  5. 5

    Measure and adjust

    We track calls and direction requests and adjust categories or content where a listing underperforms.

Why us

Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

  • Marketing and sales, as one job

    Most agencies stop at the enquiry. We also fix what happens after it: the reply, the follow-up, the quote and the CRM.

  • The person on the first call does the work

    No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.

  • A baseline before anything starts

    Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.

  • The fee in writing, split three ways

    Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

  • No guarantees we cannot keep

    The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.

  • One office, and we say so

    Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru. We work across India by call and WhatsApp and travel when a session needs to be in person.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

How often should the profile be updated?
Whenever hours, services or pricing change, and with fresh photos every few months.
Do reviews really affect bookings this much?
Yes, boarding especially depends on trust, and recent reviews carry more weight than an old average.
I run a grooming van and have no shop. Can I list a home address?
A van that goes to customers can be a service-area business with the home address hidden, provided no customers visit that address. List the areas you cover. Giving a false shop address breaks Google's rules. Check Google's current guidelines before you apply.
We opened a second boarding centre. Does it need its own profile?
Yes, each centre owners can visit gets its own profile, with its address, hours and photographs. Do not add the second address to the first profile or duplicate the listing. Check Google's current guidelines for multiple locations before you apply.
How much does it cost?
There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.
How long is the contract?
The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.
How soon will we see results?
It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.
Who will actually do the work?
The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.
What do you need from us?
Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.
What if we are not happy with the work?
Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
