How to Create a Google Business Profile for Your Local Business
If you want your shop or business to appear on Google Maps and local search results, you need a Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business). It’s completely free and helps customers easily find your business, website, photos, videos, services, and products—all in one place.
Whether you run a salon, coaching center, gym, or grocery store, having a Google Business Profile builds trust and increases foot traffic.
Step-by-Step: How to Set Up Your Google Business Profile
Go to google.com/business
Click “Manage now” and sign in with your Google account.
Enter your business name, select the correct category (like “Pet Store” or “Mobile Repair”), and fill in your business address.
Choose if you want your business to appear on Google Maps or if you only serve customers online.
Add your contact details, website link, and business hours.
Google will send you a verification code via mail or phone to confirm your business location.
Once verified, your business will show up on Google Maps with your reviews, photos, and directions.
