How to Link Your WhatsApp Catalog to Google Maps & Google Business Profile

When someone searches Google for local businesses in your city, Google Maps displays the top local shops in a listing block. If you have a website linked to your profile, Google prioritizes your business. Here is how you can link your Vechilo WhatsApp storefront directly to Google Maps to double your inquiries.

Step 1: Copy Your Custom Vechilo URL

Log into your Vechilo dashboard and copy your public business link. It looks like https://vechilo.in/your-shop-slug. Make sure your store is published and all products are active.

Step 2: Edit Your Google Business Profile

Search "my business" on Google, open the Google Maps app and tap your profile icon to open your business profile manager, or log in directly to the Google Business Profile Dashboard. Once there, click on the Edit Profile button and select Contact Info.

Step 3: Paste Your Link in the Website Field

Paste your full Vechilo URL into the Website field. Do not just paste the homepage vechilo.in; paste your specific shop path so customers lands directly on your shop catalog rather than our homepage. Save the changes.

Step 4: Why This Helps Google Search Ranking (Local SEO)

Linking a fast, mobile-friendly catalog page like Vechilo tells Google that your business is verified, professional, and active. When local searchers click the "Website" button on your Google Maps listing, they can instantly view your product rates, select items, and message you on WhatsApp. This leads to higher user engagement, signaling Google to rank your shop higher in the Local Pack search results.
