Local SEO and Google profile for a child care center

Your Google profile is the front door. Of the 64,363 child care listings in this dataset, the median one has 6 reviews and 58.6% have fewer than ten. The bar for the top three of a suburban map pack is low, and most owners never clear it because nobody owns the profile.

Categories first. Day care center as primary for most, Preschool as primary if that is genuinely your program, then secondary categories for what you actually run: child care agency, after school program, Montessori preschool. Wrong primary category is the most common reason a center does not show for the search it should own.

Then the parts owners skip. Full hours, including whether you open before 7am, because that decides the shortlist for commuting parents. Only 7.5% list Saturday hours, so weekend or second-shift care is a search you can own alone. Services by age room. Q and A seeded with the tuition and license questions you get on every call. Photos cleared against your releases.

The benchmark report shows where your county actually sits.

Questions

Child care centers and daycares ask

Do posts on the profile do anything?

They do not move rankings much, but they are the first thing a parent reads under your listing, and an openings post that says two toddler spots for October answers the question that made her search. Once a week is enough. Stale posts from last spring do more harm than none.

Should we list our home address for a family child care?

Google allows a service area business to hide the street address, but child care parents will not shortlist an address they cannot see. If you run a licensed home program, show the street or at least the cross streets and neighborhood, and note that tours are by appointment.
