But how do you get your business listed on Google so your target public can find you more easily?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If that\u2019s something you\u2019ve been wondering about, you\u2019re in luck! We\u2019ve put together this tutorial with steps to help you add your business location on Google Maps and draw customers from your local area. Here\u2019s how to do it! <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><strong>How to get your business listed on Google Maps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are tremendous benefits to adding a business to Google Maps, and that goes for businesses from any segment. It\u2019s especially true for those that have a physical store and would like to make it easy for potential customers to find them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s say, for example, that you have an Italian restaurant in downtown S\u00e3o Paulo, and someone in the area is looking for just that. Wouldn\u2019t you like your business to show up in the top results, making it more likely to be chosen?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For that to happen, your business should be on the map with as much information as possible (like contact info and reviews) to prompt potential customers to come to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, how do you go about adding your business to Google Maps? It\u2019s quite simple, but you will need to have a Google My Business profile first.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do that, simply access GMB\u2019s main page and follow the step below:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click <\/span><b>Manage Now<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and sign in with your Google account.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On <\/span><b>Add Your Business<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, fill in the required information (company name, country, address, business number, business segment, and website).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select <\/span><b>Continue<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to confirm your answers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add your mobile number and enter the code sent by Google via SMS to confirm your account. Next, you\u2019ll be redirected to the dashboard.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before editing your page, however, you\u2019ll need to go through an additional verification phase. Within 7 &#8211; 15 business days, a confirmation code will be mailed to you to confirm the registered address and ensure its accuracy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow the guidelines and finish to freely edit your profile.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that\u2019s not the only way to add your company to GMB and Maps, as you\u2019ll see below.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><strong>How to add your business straight from Google Maps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides registering your company through Google My Business, you can do that straight from Google Maps.

It\u2019s important to name and categorize units consistently for all store locations so users can identify you on Google Maps and search results quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same name must be used for all units unless that changes according to location (luxury stores, outlets, pop-up stores). They should still be placed under the same category if they provide the same service.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><strong>How to claim your business on Google Maps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If someone else has already created a profile for your company which you don\u2019t have access to, follow these steps to claim your business:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Open Google Maps;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enter your business name in the search bar and click on the result;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click Claim this business and Manage now;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select a verification option and follow the instructions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>The advantages of adding a business location to Google Maps<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we said before, having a Google My Business profile and a location on Google Maps is highly beneficial to your business.

Ads on Google Maps make it easy for those interested to find you. They also help solve a common issue by putting together advertising campaigns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can run different types of ads based on the location of those seeking out your business on Google Maps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is called geolocation advertising, a standard practice for most businesses that sell online. Instead of showing users the same ad disregarding their location, Google Maps ads show relevant ads from businesses in the area. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><br style=\"font-weight: 400;\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How to analyze the results of these strategies<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know how to get your business on Google Maps, you should be aware of the fact that that\u2019s not all. The next step is analyzing the results of your profile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google My Business gives you access to all reach and engagement metrics regarding users impacted by your profile.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find out which keywords led users to your business and Google Maps views.
