# How to check your Google Business Profile

See what your Google Business Profile is missing, with a link to fix each item on Google, and edit the profile shown on your Praising website.

The **Business Profile** page (**Profile** in the menu) checks your Google Business Profile and shows what's missing, with a link to fix each item on Google. Below that, you can write the business details shown on your Praising website. Praising doesn't change your Google listing or update listings on other sites.

## Prerequisites

Link your location to its business on Google first: under **Settings → Integrations**, click **Connect** on the Google row and choose **Google Public Access** (find your listing by name) or **Google Login** (sign in to your Business Profile; an owner or admin does this). With **Google Login**, Praising can check every item; otherwise a few show under **Can't check yet**.

## Steps

1.  **Access the Profile section**
    

In your Praising.ai dashboard, open the **Visibility** section in the left-hand navigation, then click **Profile**. You can also navigate directly to `/dashboard/visibility/profile`.

2.  **Link your Google listing if asked**
    

If the page says **Link your Google listing first**, click **Pick your business on Google**. It takes you to **Settings → Integrations**, where you choose your business on Google.

3.  **Read your checklist**
    

The card at the top says how complete your Google profile is, as a percentage, across 10 items: main category, extra categories, opening hours, holiday hours, phone number, website, business description, photos, features and replies to reviews. Items are grouped under **To fix on Google**, **Can't check yet** and **Done**.

4.  **Fix each item on Google**
    

Each missing item has a **Fix on Google** link (**Reply on Google** for review replies) that opens Google, where you make the change. Praising re-reads your Google profile about once a week, so a fix shows here after the next read.

5.  **Edit your Praising website profile**
    

Below the checklist, fill in **About**, **Category & website**, **Services**, **Hours** and **Attributes**, then click **Save profile**. These details appear on your Praising website only. They don't change your Google Business Profile or any other listing.

> **Info:** Tip: Regular monitoring of your business listings helps maintain accurate information and can improve your local SEO rankings. Set a monthly reminder to review and update your listings through the Profile dashboard.

## What's Next?

Next, open **Reviews** under **Reputation** to read and answer your Google and Trustpilot reviews, or go to **Visibility → Widgets** to show your best reviews on your own website. On paid plans, once you switch on the **SEO Agent** under **Reputation**, it drafts a reply to each new review for you to approve.
