How do I get my business to show up on Google Maps in Boise?

Claim and verify your free Google Business Profile, fill out every section (categories, services, hours, service area, photos), keep earning reviews, and post updates regularly. Google ranks Maps results mainly on relevance, distance and prominence, so a complete, active profile with real reviews gives you the best chance.

Verify it (Google often asks for a short video of your business)
Pick the most specific main category, then add secondary ones
List every service, your hours, service area and real photos
Ask every customer for a review, and reply to every review
Post updates and offers every week
