Small business owners have a lot on their plate, and not everyone has time to see what their business looks like from a consumer’s perspective online. However, searching for your business on Google is a great way to see if you are getting the most out of your online marketing strategy.

Google your business to verify that your address, phone number, business hours, and website are complete and accurate. Claim your business after you Google it using the Guide to Google Business.

What is Google My Business?

Google My Business is a free tool that lets you manage how your local business appears across Google products, like Maps and Search. If you run a business that serves customers at a particular location, or you serve customers within a designated service area, Google My Business can help people find you. Verified businesses on Google are twice as likely to be considered reputable by users.

Imagine yourself in the shoes of a potential customer. This customer is three blocks from your storefront and looking for exactly what you do best in the neighborhood—maybe they’ve seen your sign or heard about your business from a friend. If they search for your services on Google, what will they find?

Maintaining your business presence on Google My Business can help customers discover the products and services you provide, contact you, and find your location.
