Google’s My Business tool is essential for businesses that want to be found by organic methods such as Map’s recommendations and local search results. It allows you to manage your business information across all of Google’s tools and show up to the people who matter to your business more often. The best part is it’s all for free!

To get started with this helpful tool, go to https://www.google.com/business/ and click “Start Now”. Then, follow the prompts and click on “Create account.”

Next, just follow the prompts it gives you to create the account. Here is all of the info you will need to fill out:

• Email

• Date of Birth
• Gender
• Agree to Privacy and Terms
• Name of Business
• Street address

One thing to note is that you should make sure you fill out all of this information as accurately as you can for the best results. The better you handle this process, the better and more relevant your organic search results will be.
