What are the steps to add a location to Google My Business?

 

Adding a location to Google My Business is a fairly straightforward process. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Sign in to your Google My Business account. If you don't have an account, you'll need to create one.

2. Click on the "Manage locations" button.

3. Click on the "Add location" button.

4. Enter the name of your business and its address. If you have multiple locations, you can add them all here.

5. Choose a business category that best represents your business.

6. Add a phone number and website URL.

7. Choose whether you want to verify your location now or later. Verification is necessary to ensure that your business information is accurate and to access some of the features in Google My Business.

8. If you choose to verify your location now, you'll be asked to choose a verification method. The most common method is by mail, where Google will send a postcard to your business address with a verification code that you'll need to enter into your Google My Business account.

9. Once you've verified your location, you can edit and update your business information, including photos, hours of operation, and other details.

That's it! Your location should now be listed on Google Maps and in search results, making it easier for customers to find you.
