Whether you are a brick and mortar store, a traveling business (i.e. food truck), or a service based business, you can create a Google My Business Listing. Creating a Google My Business Listing also puts you on Google Maps and Google Local, so potential customers can find you easier. This step by step guide shows you how to set up Google My Business.
Before we get started, Log in to your Google account/email for your business. This is the same as logging into your Google email. Note: We highly recommend that your google business account/email be separate from any personal email address(es) you have with Google. If you do not have a Google account, please create one.
