Quick answer
Retailers, contractors and businesses search Google Maps for "wholesale [product] near me" and "[product] distributor in [city]". List your real trade name with a specific wholesale category (e.g., "Wholesale grocer", "Electrical supply store", "Building materials supplier"), add products with price ranges and minimum order quantities, show your godown/counter in photos, list trade hours, and collect reviews from business customers. Keep the same details on IndiaMART and TradeIndia.

Frequently asked questions
Can a godown without walk-in customers have a profile?
If buyers come to pick up or you deliver in set areas with staff during hours, it can qualify. Pure storage without customer contact does not.
Should I show prices?
Ranges help qualify enquiries; you can say "prices vary with quantity".
Should I have separate profiles for retail and wholesale?
Only if they're genuinely separate operations with separate entrances/teams.
