FAQ

Can SaaS companies use Google Business Profile? Generally no for digital-only SaaS without a customer-facing local location. GBP is for local businesses on Maps — software vendors should use G2, Capterra, and launch directories instead.

Is Google Business Profile free? Yes — creating and maintaining a basic Business Profile is free. Optional Google Ads are separate.

How long does GBP verification take? Often 3–14 days depending on verification method. Video verification can be faster in supported regions.

Does GBP send referral traffic? Yes for eligible local businesses — Very High “near me” and Maps search traffic on DR 99. Not a channel for typical online-only startup launches.
