[Get a free visibility check](#request) Last updated: 2026-10-14 "Google business profile" is searched about 6,600 times a month in Singapore (Google Ads search data via DataForSEO, Singapore, October 2026), mostly by owners trying to work it out. Google's own tips are short: verify the business, keep the information complete and accurate, respond to reviews, add photos and videos ([Google](https://support.google.com/business/answer/7091?hl=en)). [RankRight](/) checks every part of your profile against those tips and against your website, so the two say the same thing. ## Where we start We compare your profile with the profiles in the map pack for your main search: verification, categories, services, hours, photos, review replies and the website link. ## What gets checked - Verification. Google says a verified business is more likely to show up in results. - Category. The primary category against what you actually do. - Hours, including special hours on public holidays. - Address and phone, identical on profile and website. - Attributes that apply to you. - Photos and videos of the real place and the real work. - Review replies. Google says replying shows you value feedback, and helpful replies help a business stand out. - The website link, pointing at the right page. ## Why the profile and the website must match Google says businesses with complete and accurate information are more likely to show in local results, and that inaccurate information can stop a profile showing for relevant searches ([Google](https://support.google.com/business/answer/7091?hl=en)). A different phone number on the site, old hours, or a service the profile lists but the site never mentions all work against that. ## Reviews: asking, not buying Google lists the number of reviews as part of prominence, and says more reviews and positive ratings can help ([Google](https://support.google.com/business/answer/7091?hl=en)). The honest way to more reviews is a routine for asking every happy customer at the right moment, with a direct link. We set that up. We never write or buy reviews. ## What is included - ✓Verification check - ✓Category and service review - ✓Hours, address and phone matched to your website - ✓Photo guidance - ✓Review reply and request routine - ✓Re-check of map position ## Doing it yourself, a cheap package, or RankRight Doing it yourself Cheap package RankRight Matches your website exactly Often not Sometimes Checked line by line Compared with the map pack No Rarely Yes Reviews Hope Some buy them A routine for asking real customers ## What it costs Published Singapore guides put SEO at S$500 to S$3,000 a month for most businesses, with entry plans around S$500 to S$1,500 ([Digital Marketing Agency](https://www.digitalmarketingagency.sg/blog/seo-cost-singapore)); another puts most SMEs at S$1,500 to S$3,000 ([Roots Digital](https://www.rootsdigital.com.sg/seo-pricing-in-singapore/)); a third lists basic agency packages from S$400 to S$700 a month ([OOM](https://www.oom.com.sg/seo-pricing-in-singapore-expectations-and-reality/)).
