Tulsa GBP Checkup: Is Your Profile Right?

Why This Exists

Not a generic checklist.

Every question below comes from a real Google Business Profile mistake I've documented in a Field Notes post: a flooring company set up like a storefront it doesn't have, a dentist's office invisible for the plain search term because of a category mistake, a service area left on Google's default radius instead of the suburbs actually worked. These aren't hypotheticals; they're patterns I keep seeing on real Tulsa-metro profiles.

The Checkup

Answer honestly. "Not sure" counts as worth checking.

Question 1 of 5

1 / 5: Storefront or service area

If you mostly go to the customer (job sites, service calls) rather than them coming to you, is your profile actually set up as a Service-Area Business?

We have a real public storefront, this doesn't apply to us We go to customers, and yes, it's set up as a service-area business We go to customers, but it's set up like a storefront, or I'm not sure

2 / 5: Primary category

When you picked your primary category, did you choose the most accurate match for most of your work, or the most specific/impressive-sounding one?

The most accurate, common match for what we mostly do The most specific or best-sounding option available Honestly not sure what's set as primary

3 / 5: Service area coverage

Does your service area list the actual suburbs you work in (Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, Jenks, Sand Springs, and so on) or is it still on Google's default radius?

A specific list of the real cities/suburbs we serve Left as whatever default radius Google suggested Not sure what it's currently set to

4 / 5: Location-specific content

Does your website or GBP posts mention specific suburbs by name, or is it one generic page written for the whole metro?

We have real content naming specific suburbs/neighborhoods One generic page, same content regardless of suburb

5 / 5: Review request timing

When a job wraps up, does a review request go out automatically, tied to the job finishing, or does someone have to remember to send it?

Automatic, tied to when the job actually finishes Manual, whenever someone remembers We don't really have a consistent ask
