Local customers already search Google for the products and services you offer. Create a business listing to be sure they find you.
Keep your address, phone number, hours of operation, and more up-to-date. Even create coupons and display photos and videos, all for free.
Use the power of Google's data to learn where your customers come from and what they search for to find you.
When you enter basic information about your business, make sure you include the following:
* Company/Organization: This is the official/registered name of your business.
* Address: Enter your address the same way it would appear on a paper mail envelope.
* Phone number: Make sure to include the area code with your business phone number.
* Website: Make sure to list your authoritative business website as your homepage, since Google uses information from your homepage to help improve search results. The URL you provide can be a maximum of 255 characters.
* Description: Tell users what makes your business special.
* Email address: Let users know how to contact you.
Let customers know when your business is open.
Specify the payment types you accept.
Including photos and video adds visual appeal to your listing.
Categories are ways to classify your business that help Google show your business for the right searches. The Local Business Center will suggest categories that match what you type, but feel free to create your own if you don't see a category that fits your business. Make sure that the categories you choose are accurate and describe your business well. It's ok if they're specific; Google's search algorithm makes sure that users looking for a general business type, like 'book stores,' will see businesses in more specific categories too.
