What is Google My
Business
Google My Business (GMB) is a free tool created
by Google to help business owners manage how they appear in Google search
results and on Google Maps.
Is Google My Business
Important?
Yes
it is. Why?
Because whether you like it or not, your
business can and likely will get listed on Google. Anyone can enter your
business name and register it with Google. They can even supply information
such as business hours, where you’re located, and so on. You would
rather be the person managing your listing rather than some random person.
How to Setup Google My Business:
·
Step 1: Visit Google My Business’s Website
Visit the following page: https://www.google.com/business/ or
go to Google and type in “google my business.” It will be the first result you
see.
·
Step 2: Click the Green Button “Manage Now” button.
If you’re
not already signed into Gmail, it will ask you to sign in. Be sure you are signed into the Gmail account you want to be
associated with your business listing.
·
Step 3: Enter the Name of Your Business
Once you get logged in, if you haven’t
set up a listing in the past, it is going to ask you to enter the name of your
business. Go ahead and type it in. If someone has already listed you on Google
(which isn’t uncommon) then you should see your listing appear. If your
business doesn’t appear, click the result that has the text under your business
name that says: Create
a business with this name
Otherwise, if your business does pop up
(like mine does below), go ahead and click on it.
