Your Google Business Profile is one of your fastest “trust builders” for local leads. But if your Services and Products sections are empty, vague, or outdated, homeowners have less reason to click, call, or request an estimate.
The goal is simple: make it easy for a homeowner to understand what you do, what you specialize in, and what the next step is.
At GYRO (Grow Your Remodel Outfit), we help remodelers turn marketing chaos into a repeatable growth system. Adding services and product-style offerings to your profile is a small action that can improve clarity, support local visibility, and help you attract better-fit projects without adding marketing overhead.
What This Guide Covers
If you want your profile to bring in more qualified calls, your Services and Products should be structured like a simple “menu” that matches what homeowners are searching for.
You will learn how to:
- Decide what belongs in Services vs Products for a remodeler
- Choose the right service categories and keep them organized
- Write descriptions that are clear, homeowner-friendly, and conversion-focused
- Add photos and pricing in a way that supports trust (without overpromising)
- Build a simple update routine so your profile stays current
- Keep your Google profile and website aligned so nothing looks inconsistent
Why Services and Products Matter for Remodelers
When homeowners compare remodelers, they are making quick decisions based on clarity and confidence. Your Services and Products sections help answer questions like: “Do they do the exact project I need?” and “Do they look professional and established?”
If your profile clearly lists kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, and basement finishing (instead of generic “construction”), you get more relevant inquiries.
Many homeowners search with service-specific intent. Strong listings can help your contractor google listing match what people are actually looking for.
A well-structured “menu” reduces friction. It gives homeowners a reason to choose you and take the next step.
GYRO tie-in: The best results come when your Google profile matches your website services, your project gallery, and your content strategy. When everything reinforces the same story, local visibility compounds.
Services vs Products: What Remodelers Should Use (And Why)
Google Business Profile uses “Services” and “Products” differently. Remodelers can use both, but you should treat them with intent.
|
Services
Best for: What you do (kitchen remodeling, bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, home additions, exterior remodels, design-build). This is where you list your core work and specializations. |
|
Products
Best for: “Packaged” offerings or service lines you want to highlight, especially when photos help sell the outcome. Think of this as a structured showcase for remodeling products-like offers, such as “Kitchen Remodel Package,” “Bathroom Refresh,” “Basement Finishing,” or “Design Consultation.” |
In plain terms: use Services for the searchable menu, and use Products for visual, click-friendly offers that highlight outcomes.
What to Include in Your Services List
A strong services list should feel like a homeowner-friendly index of your best work. Do not list everything under the sun. Prioritize the projects you want more of, and keep your wording clear.
Kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, basement finishing, home additions, and any specialty you want to lead with.
Examples: custom cabinetry, tile and waterproofing, layout reconfiguration, shower conversions, egress windows, lighting upgrades.
Design-build, permitting support, project management, material selection help. These reduce fear and raise confidence.
Rule of thumb for remodelers:
- Start with your top 5 to 10 “money services”
- Add a few supporting services that explain your capability
- Keep names simple and homeowner-friendly
- Avoid overly technical phrasing unless your market expects it
If you are trying to rank for “add services google profile” style queries, the real win is not stuffing keywords. The win is listing real services clearly so your profile matches local search intent.
How to Write Service Descriptions That Convert
A good description does not read like marketing. It reads like a clear answer to: “What do you do, who is it for, and what should I do next?”
A simple remodeler description formula
1) Outcome: What the homeowner gets (not your process).
2) Scope clarity: What you typically handle (planning, build, finishes).
3) Trust signal: Clean jobsite, communication, craftsmanship standards, or design guidance.
4) Next step: Point them to a consult, estimate request, or planning call.
Example (Kitchen Remodeling): “We plan and build kitchens that feel clean, functional, and built to last. Our team handles layout updates, cabinetry, countertops, tile, lighting, and finish details with clear communication from start to close. Book a consult to confirm scope and timeline.”
Keep it truthful. Avoid guarantees or promises you cannot control (like exact timelines). Your goal is clarity and confidence, not hype.
How to Add Products the Right Way for Remodeling
The Products section is a chance to package your work in a way that is visual and easy to browse. You are not selling a retail SKU. You are selling an outcome. That is why photos and simple descriptions matter.
- Name the product like a homeowner would
Use clear names like “Kitchen Remodel,” “Bathroom Remodel,” “Basement Finishing,” “Home Addition,” or “Design Consultation.” Avoid internal jargon. - Add one strong photo per product
Use a finished project image that matches the service. If you want more kitchen work, the kitchen image should be the hero. - Write a short, outcome-driven description
Explain what the homeowner gets and what you typically include. Keep it readable. - Handle pricing carefully
If you include pricing, keep it honest and simple (starting at, ranges, or “varies by scope”). Do not box yourself in. - Link to the right website page
Send people to the most relevant service or portfolio page so the next step is easy.
This is one of the easiest ways to make your profile feel more “complete” and reduce the number of random, low-fit inquiries.
Update and Maintenance: Keep It Accurate Without Making It a Weekly Chore
Services and Products only help when they are current. The good news is you do not need to edit them constantly. You need a simple check-in routine.
A simple maintenance cadence for busy remodelers:
- Monthly: confirm your top services still match what you want to sell
- Monthly: make sure your product photos still represent your best, most recent work
- Quarterly: refresh descriptions if you add a new specialty or change positioning
- Anytime: update if you stop offering something (remove it so you do not attract the wrong lead)
Rule: Accuracy beats volume.
Critical Consistency: Match Your Website and Google Profile
Homeowners notice when your services list says one thing but your website says something else. They also notice when your photos do not match your claims. Consistency builds trust fast.
If your profile says “Basement Finishing,” your website should have a basement service page or portfolio section to support it.
Pick simple phrases and keep them consistent across your contractor google listing, website headings, and service descriptions.
If you want higher-end kitchen leads, do not showcase mostly small handyman work. Align visuals to your revenue goals.

Common Mistakes Remodelers Should Avoid
Most issues are not technical. They are clarity issues. Fix these and your profile usually performs better over time.
“Construction” and “Home Improvement” are not enough. Get specific about the work you actually want.
More is not always better. A focused list can attract better leads than a massive list that confuses people.
If the content is old, homeowners assume the business is less active or less professional.
If a product is “Kitchen Remodel,” do not link to your homepage. Link to kitchens, portfolio, or a kitchen service page.
