How is this done?
Set up an account
Go to Google My Business and click on the button.
Your Google My Business account is linked to your Google + Local or Google Maps account. If you don’t have one yet, you’ll have to create one. Just follow the steps.
In the search box, enter your business name or address and if it doesn’t appear, add it.
Complete the form
Fill in all the necessary data such as:
- Name
- Country
- Address
- City
- Zip Code
- Company’s main phone number
- Category
Be sure to check the box at the end if you work with clients remotely. Then in the next window, you will have to indicate where your target audience is located.
This is necessary so that people can find your business on a map through a search when they are looking for services or products in a specific area.
Confirm that your business is real.
You will need to confirm that your business is honest with an email confirmation, a verification code, or phone authentication. Either way, it will verify your business, and once you do, you will have access to more features.
You can skip this step if you wish, but have your account confirmed.
Complete the profile.
Add a logo, a photo, the schedule, etc. Be sure to make a short description of your business and use the keywords you want to be found by, but don’t overdo it. Write to be read by people.
You can always edit the profile data in the upper right corner on the “Change” button.
Keep all data updated and respond quickly to comments
Quickly update all the information about your company:
If work schedules or address change, etc.
Follow the comments made in your file and respond as quickly as possible, especially if the word is negative. But the positive ones also deserve a “thank you,” don’t ignore them.
Add site links. Do you have a personal blog? Maybe a landing page for one of your products?
Photo and video
Add photos and videos that show your company and its activities. Show your products or services in action, and this will make the page more interesting.
