What goes in your Google business description
Your Business Profile on Google has a "from the business" description that maxes out at 750 characters, and only the first 250 or so show before a "Read more" cut. It appears under the Overview tab, not on the main panel, so it's secondary to your category, reviews and photos. Google explicitly bans links, HTML, promotional language and anything that's not about your business. The detail most owners miss: this field is not a ranking factor, so write it for humans deciding whether to call, not to stuff in keywords.
Google business description tips
- Front-load the first 250 characters with what you do and where, since that's all that shows before "Read more."
- Skip URLs, phone numbers and prices; Google strips links and may reject descriptions that read like an ad.
- Name your real services and neighbourhood naturally; it won't boost ranking but helps customers self-qualify before calling.
- Avoid all-caps, emoji and "#1" claims; Google's guidelines reject promotional language and your edit can sit unpublished.

Google Business Description Generator — common questions
Latest questions readers ask us about this topic.
What's the character limit for a Google business description?
750 characters, but only roughly the first 250 appear before Google truncates the text with a "Read more" link. Put your most important sentence first, because many readers never expand it.
Where does the business description show on Google?
It lives under the Overview tab of your Business Profile, labelled "From the business." It does not appear in the main knowledge panel summary, which Google generates separately from web sources.
Does the Google business description help my ranking?
No. Google states the description is not used for local ranking. Categories, reviews, proximity and overall profile completeness drive visibility; the description only helps customers understand and trust your business.
