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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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

Understand your locations

- 2
Audit current profiles
We check what is wrong, outdated or missing on each existing listing.
- 3
Correct and complete
Every profile is brought up to date, with services, hours and photos filled in properly.
- 4

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.
#257, 3rd floor, Sri Nanjundeshwara Complex, Nagarbhavi 8th Block, Outer Ring Road. How we work.
