What is Google My Business
Google My Business (GMB) is a free tool created by Google to help business owners manage how they appear in Google search results and on Google Maps.
Is Google My Business Important?
Yes it is. Why?
Because whether you like it or not, your business can and likely will get listed on Google. Anyone can enter your business name and register it with Google. They can even supply information such as business hours, where you’re located, and so on. You would rather be the person managing your listing rather than some random person.
How to Setup Google My Business:
• Step 1: Visit Google My Business’s Website
Visit the following page: https://www.google.com/business/ or go to Google and type in “google my business.” It will be the first result you see.
• Step 2: Click the Green Button “Manage Now” button.
If you’re not already signed into Gmail, it will ask you to sign in. Be sure you are signed into the Gmail account you want to be associated with your business listing.
• Step 3: Enter the Name of Your Business
Once you get logged in, if you haven’t set up a listing in the past, it is going to ask you to enter the name of your business. Go ahead and type it in. If someone has already listed you on Google (which isn’t uncommon) then you should see your listing appear. If your business doesn’t appear, click the result that has the text under your business name that says: Create a business with this name
Otherwise, if your business does pop up (like mine does below), go ahead and click on it.
Then click next.
• Step 4: Enter the Address of Your Business
Brick & Mortar vs. Service Area Business (SAB)
• Brick & Mortar
Leave the “I deliver goods and services to my customers” checkbox blank if you have a brick and mortar business where your customers or clients come to do business with you.
• Service Area Business
If you’re a Service Area Business, click this checkbox.
You’ll see another box appear giving you the option to hide your address.
If you don’t want your address displayed (for example, if you used your personal address as your business address), then go ahead and check this box.
What is a Service Area Business (SAB)?
A business that goes to the customer or delivers things to the customer but doesn’t primarily serve its customers at its business address (e.g., landscapers, plumbers, roofers).
If you serve customers at your business address
and
deliver to them, then you can also register as a service area business (e.g., pizza shops, florists)
Examples of Brick & Mortar Businesses
grocery stores
gas stations
