Why does a Tech Coach Check if you have a Domain, Website, and Google Business Profile?
Your domain, website, and Google Business profile are the foundation of your online presence. Without them, clients may struggle to find you, trust you, or even contact you.
A Tech Coach checks these tools to ensure they’re set up to work in your favour — not against you. Whether you’re just getting started or looking to improve, they’ll guide you through creating a professional, visible, and approachable online presence.
Why are a Domain, Website, and Google Business Profile so Important?
Think of these tools as your business’s digital handshake. They establish your credibility and help clients find and connect with you online.
Your Domain is Your Unique Online Identity
A personalised domain like “yourbusiness.co.uk” makes you look professional and trustworthy, especially compared to a generic email like “@gmail.com.”
Your Website Acts as the Home Base for Your Business
It’s where potential clients learn about your services, read helpful content, and contact you. A clear, well-structured website builds trust and makes it easier for clients to take the next step.
Your Google Business Profile is like a Digital Signpost
A Google Business profile helps local people to find your business. It provides essential details like your hours, reviews, and location, making it easier for people to choose your business.
How a Tech Coach Ensures Your Online Tools Work for You
A Tech Coach doesn’t just ask if you have a domain, website, and Google Business profile — they make sure these tools are working effectively to support your business.
When it comes to your website, they’ll ensure it’s clear, user-friendly, and professional.
For example:
Is your website easy to navigate? — A confusing or cluttered layout can drive visitors away. Your Tech Coach will guide you in organising your site so clients can easily find your services, contact details, and pricing.
Is your site mobile-friendly? — Many clients will browse your website on their phones. A Tech Coach will ensure it looks and works great on all devices.
Are you using the right tools to manage your site? — Platforms like Wix or Squarespace are beginner-friendly, while WordPress offers more flexibility for advanced needs. Your Tech Coach will help you choose the best option and teach you how to manage it confidently.
For your Google Business profile, a Tech Coach ensures it’s optimised to attract local clients:
Accurate Details — They’ll check that your business name, address, and phone number are correct and consistent everywhere online. Inconsistencies can harm your search rankings.
Photos and Branding — A profile with quality photos of your business, logo, or products creates a strong impression. A Tech Coach will show you how to upload images that represent your business well.
Reviews — Positive reviews are a powerful way to build credibility. A Tech Coach will teach you how to request reviews effectively and respond to them professionally.
Analytics Insights — Google Business profiles offer data on how clients find and interact with your business. A Tech Coach will show you how to access this information so you can start to see how your profile is performing.
For your domain, a Tech Coach helps you take control of this essential tool:
Choosing the Right Domain Name — It should be short, memorable, and reflect your business.
Connecting Your Domain to Other Tools — They’ll guide you in linking your domain to your website and email, ensuring everything works seamlessly.
A Tech Coach’s goal is to make sure you feel comfortable using these tools to actively support your business by improving your visibility, credibility, and accessibility.
Common Concerns about Setting Up a Domain, Website, and Google Business Profile
It’s normal to feel overwhelmed by the idea of setting all this up.
Your Tech Coach can help you by simplifying the process, guiding you step-by-step, and tackling common worries like these:
Setting Up a Website is too Technical
Platforms like Wix or Squarespace make website building easy with drag-and-drop tools. You don’t need coding skills. A Tech Coach will guide you through creating a clean, professional website and show you how to manage updates, like adding blogs or services.
I Don’t Know Where to Buy a Domain or How to Connect it to my Website
Buying and connecting a domain might sound complicated, but it’s straightforward with the right guidance.
Your Coach will help you choose a domain, purchase it from a trusted provider, and link it to your email and website without hassle.
I Don’t Think a Google Business Profile is Worth it
This free tool is often underestimated.
Your Tech Coach will show you how it boosts visibility in local searches, attracts new clients, and builds trust with reviews. They’ll also teach you how to optimise your profile to stand out from competitors.

Once these tools are set up, maintaining them is quick and simple.
For instance, updating your Google Business profile takes just minutes. A Tech Coach will ensure you’re comfortable managing your tools efficiently, saving you time in the long run.
