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.

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.

Who it is for

This is written for these pet service businesses.

  • Dog grooming salons
  • Pet boarding and daycare centres
  • Pet training academies
  • Mobile grooming services
  • Veterinary clinics offering allied services
  • Pet taxi and transport services
  • Multi-service pet care centres
  • Cattery and exotic pet boarding

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

  • The business name, address or opening hours are about to change, and a profile built now would need rebuilding.
  • You run a home-based service and do not want the address shown, which needs a service-area setup first.

How it works

How the google business profile work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

  1. 1

    Find every profile that exists

    We search your name, old names, phone numbers and addresses for profiles you own, ones someone else created and duplicates. A record notes which Google account holds each.

  2. 2

    Settle ownership and verification

    If you cannot log in, we start the ownership request. You or a senior person at the premises does the verification. Google may ask for a phone code, a live video call or a recording of the signboard and who manages the place.

  3. 3

    Match the profile to the signboard

    Name, address, pin, phone, hours and business types are compared with what a customer sees at the door. Wrong details are corrected on the profile, and a wrong signboard is raised with you.

  4. 4

    Fill, reply and watch

    Photos and services come from material each branch sends. Reviews get drafted replies, and a duplicate or a policy notice is dealt with when it appears.

  5. 5

    Read the profile against the baseline

    Calls, direction requests and website clicks are set beside the baseline recorded before work started. A branch that falls behind is checked first for a changed detail or a lost verification.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

  1. Step 1

    Sales audit

    Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.

    Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.

  2. Step 2 · you are here

    Sales process design

    One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.

    Start here if every salesperson sells differently.

  3. Step 3

    Sales management

    A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.

    Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need
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.
