Get Found in Bali: The 10-Minute Checklist for Business Owners
Most customers in Bali find a business the same way: they search, they look at photos, and they send a WhatsApp message. If any of those three steps is broken, you lose the customer before you ever hear from them.
Here is a checklist you can finish in ten minutes. Each step matches something we check automatically in the free Listing Health Check.
1. Put a real photo first
Your main photo decides whether anyone clicks. Use daylight, shoot your storefront or your best product, and keep it sharp. Avoid logos and stock images — customers want to see the real place.
2. Add at least three more photos
One photo is a guess; four is proof. Show the front of your shop so people recognise it from the street, two products or services, and one photo of you or your team at work.
3. Write at least 120 words about your business
Say what you sell, what makes you different, and who you serve. Write it in your own words. Break it into two short paragraphs — a wall of text does not get read.
4. Add your WhatsApp number
In Indonesia, WhatsApp is how customers actually make contact. Add the number you check daily. Consider switching to WhatsApp Business (free) so you can set an away message and a greeting.
5. Set your opening hours for all seven days
Include the days you are closed. Complete hours let your listing show a “Now Open” badge, and nothing loses trust faster than a customer arriving at a closed door.
6. Check your address and map pin
An inaccurate pin means customers cannot find you and you disappear from map searches. Drag the pin to your actual door, not the end of the street.
7. Choose the right category and area
Customers filter by category and by area. If yours are missing or wrong, you never appear in those results.
8. Link your website or Instagram
Even one link gives people a way to see more and builds confidence before they message you.
