FAQ

Google My Business (GMB) is a profile that displays on the right side of Google search results when someone searches for your local business or local keywords related to your business. GMB includes things like hours, contact information, services you offer, posts that you generate, your business review status and links to customer reviews, images that you upload to your GMB account, and promotions.

Taking advantage of your Google My Business profile is the best way to increase your local visibility on Google, and we’ll show you exactly what to do.

Google My Business Verification is a process for claiming your business account. Google wants to know if you truly own the business you are listing in your GMB account.

Verification for most businesses includes requesting a post card from Google that contains a 6 digit code. Once you receive the code, you enter it into a designated entry form. After you enter the verification, you truly “own” your GMB listing.
