Start with the Google Business Profile, because it shapes what a customer sees on the map results. Fill in every service, garment type, service area and set of hours. Upload clear photos of finished work and add new ones as your work changes. Your listing is the first thing many customers see, so treat it as a sales page.

Next, ask for reviews after every job or visit, and make the request easy with a direct link. Reviews that mention fit, speed and repair quality help customers choose. Those reviews also give search engines fresh signs that the shop is active. Keep a steady flow of requests so the shop's review count keeps growing.

Service pages come third, starting with the garments your customers ask about most. Give each one a page with the services, turnaround and drop-off details. Those pages match specific searches and give Google clear reasons to show your shop. Add call tracking early, so you can see which pages bring the phone calls.

Most clients see movement in 30 to 90 days, so a shop should plan for steady work rather than a quick fix. Track calls and form leads each month, and compare them with the month before. Our client portal, Site Garage, shows those numbers in one place. Then adjust the profile and pages based on what customers actually do.
