Your customers are searching but are they finding you?

Google Business Profiles (formerly Google My Business) play a huge role in local discovery. Whether someone’s searching for “design studio near me” or looking for reviews before visiting your store, your listing is often their first impression.

At Paper Cut Collective, we don’t just design beautiful brand assets we make sure they’re seen. Here’s how we optimize Google Business Profiles to help businesses grow locally with creativity and strategy combined.


1. Start with the Basics: Claim and Verify Your Profile

Before anything else, you need to own your listing. We help clients:

  • Set up a Google Business Profile

  • Choose the right primary category (e.g., “Creative Design Agency”)

  • Complete the verification process (usually by postcard or phone)


Why this matters: Verified businesses are far more likely to show up in Google’s Local Pack and on Maps.


2. Fill in Every Detail Completely and Consistently

Google loves information. So do your customers. We ensure your listing includes:

  • Business name (brand-accurate, not stuffed with keywords)

  • Address and service areas

  • Operating hours

  • Website link and booking/contact buttons

  • Business description with keywords woven in naturally


Plus, we make sure all your info matches what’s on your website and other listings—this consistency builds trust with Google’s algorithm.


3. Add Stunning Visuals (That Actually Reflect Your Brand)

This is where Paper Cut shines.

Most businesses upload a blurry logo and forget about it. We go further:

  • Branded logos and high-res cover photos

  • Team photos, studio shots, or behind-the-scenes moments

  • Creative visuals that show your process, not just the product

  • Short-form videos tailored for mobile and local browsing


Remember, profiles with photos get 42% more requests for directions and 35% more click-throughs to websites.


4. Use Keywords But Keep It Human

We optimize descriptions and service sections using search-friendly terms, but never sacrifice clarity or brand voice. A Paper Cut-crafted description might read:


“Paper Cut Collective is a design-first creative agency in Singapore, specializing in brand identity, digital campaigns, and website experiences for businesses ready to stand out.”

Natural. Clear. Discoverable.


5. Build Trust Through Reviews (and Thoughtful Responses)

A steady stream of positive reviews boosts rankings and builds social proof. We help you:

  • Set up automated review requests via email or QR code

  • Design branded templates asking clients for feedback

  • Craft thoughtful, personalized replies to reviews (yes, even the tough ones)


Showing up and responding professionally and in your tone makes your brand feel human.


6. Use Google Posts Like a Mini Social Feed

Did you know you can publish posts, events, and offers directly to your Google Business Profile?

We turn these into mini campaigns with:

  • Branded visuals

  • Engaging headlines

  • Timely promos, blog links, or event details

  • CTAs like “Book Now,” “Learn More,” or “Call Today”


It’s one more channel where design and message matter and one more chance to convert searchers into customers.


7. Add Services, Products, and Q&A

We structure your service or product listings with:

  • Clear titles and short, benefit-led descriptions

  • Consistent brand voice and visuals

  • Pre-filled Q&A content to answer common questions before customers even ask


It’s a powerful way to guide the buyer journey straight from search.


8. Track, Learn, and Improve

Once your profile is fully optimized, we monitor:

  • Search impressions and clicks

  • Direction requests

  • Calls and bookings

  • Review trends and sentiment


Then we refine your visuals, messaging, and posting schedule accordingly. It’s never just “set and forget.”


Final Thoughts: Visibility Meets Identity

A Google Business Profile is your digital storefront and for many, it’s the first place they’ll meet your brand. At Paper Cut Collective, we combine local SEO best practices with thoughtful design to ensure that first impression truly reflects your brand.

Let’s make your business not just searchable, but unforgettable.
