Create one canonical fact set
Record the business name, category, services, service area, contact methods, hours, booking path, and material exclusions with an owner and review date. Resolve contradictions before distributing the facts.
Phase One insight
The website and Business Profile should tell the same factual story.
Consistency helps customers and platforms understand the business, but it must reflect operational truth rather than a keyword template.

Keep page purpose distinct
A real service or location page needs unique audience value, proof, and a working next action. Near-duplicate location pages created mainly to capture searches weaken trust and can cross spam-policy boundaries.
Measure the layers separately
Website impressions, Profile interactions, Maps actions, landing sessions, and qualified leads come from different reports and attribution rules. Keep their denominators and limitations visible.
