FAQs

Do I need to create a Google Business Profile if I don’t have a physical, brick-and-mortar shop?

Yes, as this not only helps potential visitors find your business via Google Maps but provides an additional place where they can leave reviews, which is useful if you have not set up a profile on a third-party platform yet, such as Reviews.io and Trustpilot. You can read more here. 

Are there certain guidelines I need to follow on my Google Business Profile?

Yes, there are some restrictions that Google details here. 

Why can I not embed Google Reviews on my EKM online shop?

You can, but Google has only made this possible via their API, therefore you would need to purchase the services of a developer or a third-party company to facilitate this.
