ForgeOn — Google Business Profile Setup

76% of people who search go to or call within 24 hours. When a farmer's John Deere breaks at 7am, they Google "mobile welder near me." Google Business Profile puts ForgeOn in that search — free, without spending a dollar on ads. This is the highest-ROI thing you can do for this business.

Step 1 — Claim Your Free Listing

Go to business.google.com

Click "Manage Now" and sign in with the Google account you want associated with ForgeOn. Use the same Gmail address you use daily so you don't lose access.

Important: If your business name already appears on Google Maps (someone may have added it already), click "Claim this business" instead of creating a new one. Duplicates hurt local search ranking.

Step 2 — Fill In Your Business Info

Use these exact values:

Business NameForgeOn Mobile Welding

Category (Primary)Welder

Category (Secondary)Mobile Welding Service

Phone(903) 300-0771

Websitehttps://forgeon.polsia.app

Service AreaRural East Texas — farms, ranches, construction sites, industrial yards

Step 3 — Address & Service Area

Set your service area, not your home address

For a mobile business, choose "I serve customers at their locations." Set the city or county as your primary service area. Do not publish your home address publicly — use a service area instead. This still lets you show up in "near me" searches.

Google may ask you to verify by mail — a postcard gets sent to your address. This takes 5-14 days. Once it arrives, enter the code in your Google Business dashboard to complete verification.

Step 4 — Add Photos

Upload 5–10 photos

Businesses with photos get 42% more direction requests than those without. Google requires a logo and cover photo minimum. Upload photos of:

• Your welding rig / truck
• Work in progress (gates, trailers, equipment)
• Finished welds and clean results
• Your crew / business logo
• Business card or shirt with logo

Step 5 — Complete Your Profile

Fill every field Google offers

More complete profiles rank higher. Add these if available:

• Hours: Mon-Sat 7am–7pm, Emergency available 24/7
• Business description: "Mobile welding and metal repair serving rural East Texas. Farm equipment, trailers, gates, fences, and custom fabrication. No job too small. Call or text anytime."
• Payment options: Cash, Check, Venmo
• Languages: English
• Attributes: Veteran-owned, Mobile service

Tips to Rank Higher

★

Get 5-star reviews. After every job, ask: "Would you mind leaving a quick Google review? Here's a link." A review link is at g.page/forgeon once your listing is created. Even 5 reviews dramatically improves visibility.

★

Post regularly. Google Business posts (like "Spring farm repair season — call before the rush!") keep your listing active and show up in search results. Takes 2 minutes. Do 1 per month.

★

Answer questions. Google lets people ask questions on your listing. Answer them promptly — even short answers help SEO and show you're active.

★

Link from your website. We added a Google Business link from the ForgeOn footer. Once your profile is live, the link helps with ranking and gives people a direct path to leave a review.
