Add Or Claim Your Business Profile On Google

What Is a Google My Business Profile?

The days of the yellow pages are long. When customers look for your business today, they'll start google searching for it. If you've created an online presence, customers will be able to find your business name, information such as your phone number, address, hours, etc.   

The Google Business profile lets you manage your online presence through the entire Google platform. Once you create and claim ownership of my "My Business on Google" profile, you can access and edit all the information that appears on your data card - from business hours and location to any images. 

By controlling this information, you control the information that appears in Google Maps or Google Search when potential customers are looking for your online business.

With Google Business Profile, you can:

• Add your business information to Google Maps, search, and other Google services.

• Create a business file or get it on Google.

• Manage how your business information appears via Google.

To make sure your business is eligible to appear on Google, verify your business profile. If you have more questions about verifying your profile, go to the Business Profile community.
