How to get your business on Google Maps in Iraq: a Google Business Profile guide

Setting it up right from the start

• The name as on your sign and registration, no keyword stuffing
• The most precise primary category
• Address and phone formatted identically to your site and directories
• Real opening hours (including 24/7 if true)
• Real photos of office, team and work
• A services list and a short clear description

Mistakes that cause suspension or weak visibility

• Adding words like “best software company” to the name
• A phone number shared with another business or brand
• A fake address or virtual office
• More than one profile for the same location
• Paid or fake reviews
