Getting your business featured on Google Maps is fundamental in getting your business found.

It’s a familiar feature of internet searches and a quick and easy resource.

We’ve all used Google Maps to find a hairdresser or restaurant. It’s a great resource that millions of users access every day. The benefits of being included in these search results are HUGE.  This means, finding out how to do this is really important.

The answer is Google My Business

By creating a Google My Business profile, your business will appear whenever a user searches for a business like yours on Google Maps. Plus your business profile will also appear on the main Google Search Page.

A Google My Business profile is easy to create and keep updated, and he only thing you will need is an address for your business and a phone line.

Just go to https://www.google.com/business/ and click manage now

You will need to add your business name, street address, phone number and website. You will then be given two options to verify your business; by post or by phone call.

A phone call is the quickest way to verify, and once you have, your profile will be live on Google.

There are lots of different features you can use to your advantage on Google My Business. You can list your services, add photos and even include products. You can also add weekly posts to highlight specific product or services.

Once your profile has been live for a month you will also be able to see how many visitors are landing on your profile and how many have called you, asked for directions or visited your website.

It’s a free and invaluable tool which will increase your online presence. There really is no hitch, it’s that easy!
