Google Business Profile for tailors in India
Updated 3 Oct 2026 by TopOnMaps team
Quick answer
Use "Tailor" as your primary category and list what you stitch, like blouses, suits, kurtas and alterations, with a starting price. Customers want to see finishing before they hand over cloth, so post close-up photos of your stitched work. Ask for a review when the customer tries the outfit at delivery and it fits.

Stitching and alterations to list
Add each item with a starting price and usual delivery time. These are the first two questions every customer asks.
- Blouse stitching, simple and designer
- Salwar suit and kurti stitching
- Lehenga and gown stitching
- Shirt and trouser stitching
- Suits, blazers and sherwanis
- Alterations: length, fitting, zip and button changes
- Fall and pico for sarees
- Urgent stitching, only if you really do it, with the extra charge
Photos that work
- Close-ups of your best finishing: necklines, piping, embroidery and hems.
- Finished blouses and suits on a hanger or mannequin.
- Your workshop with machines and staff at work.
- The shop front and board.
- Customers in outfits you stitched, only with their permission.
What to post about
- Order cut-off dates before Diwali, Eid, Durga Puja or Onam, so customers know when to give cloth.
- Wedding season: bridal blouse and lehenga bookings, with how far ahead to order.
- New blouse designs or necklines you've done recently.
- School uniform stitching before the new session, if you take it.
- Changed timings during the festival rush.
When and how to ask for reviews
Ask at delivery, after the customer has tried the outfit and it fits. If it needs a small alteration, finish it first and ask then.
Let them try it
Offer a trial at delivery. A good fit is the moment they'll want to praise you.
Ask while packing
As you pack the outfit, ask for a Google review and point to the QR on the counter.
Put the link on the delivery slip
Print the review QR on the slip you give when you take the order, so customers have it at delivery.
No free alterations for reviews
Ask everyone the same way and give nothing in return.
Whenever you ask, Google's rules apply: ask every customer, not only the happy ones, and never offer anything in return for a review.
Mistakes to avoid
Missing festival deadlines
Late outfits before a festival bring the angriest reviews. Post a clear cut-off date and stop taking orders after it.
No prices at all
Customers compare. A starting price saves both of you time.
Using catalogue photos
Show your own work. Customers judge you by your finishing, not by a model in a catalogue.
Questions
I work from home. Should I show my address?
If customers come to your home to give cloth and collect, you can show it. If you'd rather not, hide it and set your service area, but tell customers how to reach you.
Should I list delivery times?
Yes, add a usual delivery time in each service, and post changes during the festival rush.
