Google My Business Listing — How to List Your Business With Google

The best way to get your Google My Business listing up and running is to follow the steps outlined below. The process is quick, easy, and completely free.

To begin the process, start with these two steps:

• Go to Google and click on Google My Business. You will see a link with "Start Your Application," which is located at the upper right corner of your screen.
• Enter your personal information as well as information about your company.

After you have completed these two main steps, you should see a verification page appear. If you have not yet created your company account, you should do so now.

The reason why you want to create a business account is to make it easier for Google to verify any information you have provided on your Google My Business listing. Once you have your company account, you can move on to the next step.

• Verify your business address with Google. To do this, you will need to find the section that says "Search by Address" or some variation thereof. To do this, simply click the option that says "Google Map,” or some variation thereof, and you should be able to find a blue link that leads back to your free tool, which will give you the address that people search for when they are performing a local search using Google.
• Add your business hours. For some reason, many people are not aware that they are actually supposed to list their business hours on their Google My Business listing. This helps bring in more local business and improves local search engine optimization (SEO).
• Add your physical address. The final step is to list any physical address you have associated with your company. Like your business hours, listing your physical location helps people find you and improves local SEO.

Once you have set up your Google My Business listing, you will be ready to go. You can start verifying addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and your business details.

Verification is an essential part of your Google My Business listing. The more accurate information you provide, the more customers you will receive. Customers love applications such as Google Places and will perform local searches if they can trust the business.

Your Google Places account will also need to be verified, as it is the unique address for your customers where they can locate you in the search results. This ensures your accuracy in the area searches and gives customers the option of using your service instead of other local businesses nearby.

Having a Google My Business account has many benefits. One of these benefits is creating posts on your Google My Business listing.
