Eligibility and ownership review
We check whether a profile is appropriate and who currently controls it before making changes.

Get your business set up on Google Search and Maps
Ember Digital helps eligible Australian businesses create, claim or improve a Google Business Profile. We review what is already there, work through the available setup and verification steps with you, and hand back a profile you understand.
Sunshine Coast based. Working with businesses across Australia, including Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
A practical starting point
Useful when your business serves customers in person
A Business Profile can show your hours, services, photos and contact details in Google Search and Maps. Creating a profile through Google is free. Ember Digital charges for professional setup and assistance.
- Businesses opening a customer-facing location
- Service-area businesses that visit or meet customers in person
- Owners who cannot find or access an existing listing
- Businesses with inaccurate or incomplete profile information
The work
What the project can include
We agree the deliverables in a written scope before work begins. The right setup depends on your business and what is already in place.
Create, claim or update
We help with the route that fits your situation, with the business owner retaining ownership.
Core details
We review categories, description, hours, service areas and relevant photos or details you provide.
Verification assistance
We guide you through the verification methods Google makes available and explain any next steps.
Resolving suspensions, ownership disputes, complex duplicates, photography, review workflows and ongoing profile management may require a separate scope. Google controls eligibility, verification and display decisions.

Common questions
Questions before you get started
Is a Google Business Profile free?
Yes. Google does not charge to create a Business Profile. Ember Digital charges for the time and expertise involved in reviewing, setting up and improving it.
How do I get my business on Google Maps?
An eligible business can create or claim a Business Profile and complete the steps Google provides. Google decides whether and how the business appears in Search and Maps.
How long does verification take?
Google chooses the verification methods available to each business. Timing varies, and additional review may be required. We cannot guarantee a verification date.
Can a home-based business have a Google Business Profile?
It may qualify if it meets customers in person, such as visiting them at their locations. A service-area business can hide its address when it does not serve customers there. An online-only business is generally ineligible.
Do I need a website?
A website is not always required to create a Business Profile, but it gives customers a place to understand your services and contact you. We can quote a website separately if useful.
Can you fix an existing listing?
We can review incorrect information, missing details or access problems. Ownership disputes, suspensions and duplicates can require a separate scope and action by Google.
Will setting up my profile make me rank first on Google?
No. A complete, accurate profile helps customers understand your business, but no provider can guarantee Maps placement, first position or a particular number of enquiries.
Need a hand with the other part of your online presence?
A clear website helps people learn more when they find your business on Google.
