Claiming Your Google My Business Page
Start by typing in your business name in the Google My Business Map.
If your business does not pop up, select “Add Your Business” and enter your details and follow the walk-through. If your business does pop up, simply click on the right business and follow the set-up instructions.
Once you’ve established your ownership, be sure to enter in all the relevant details and photos to help your customers contact you. Go through the steps to “verify ownership” to complete the process so Google knows you are a current establishment doing business. Now when you go back and “Google” your business name, you should see a nice box pop up on the right-hand side of search results with all your relevant contact information, including a clickable phone number for customers to contact you!
When setting up your Google My Business Page, Google will automatically create a Google Plus Page for your business where you can post regular updates and links to content. GOOGLE+ is going away soon, don’t bother! ?
It’s a good idea to post on your business pages regularly to signal that you are an active business. These posts also often show up in Google search results.
That’s it! That’s all there is to adding your business to Googles Directory. If you have multiple locations, don’t forget to go through this process for each individual location.
