Hello and welcome. In this video we're going to provide the answers
and step-by-step directions to solve three questions:
1) how do I add my business to Google Maps?
2) how do I register my business on Google?
3) and how does Google verify my business?
Mark Ambrose with Video4Traffic.com here,
we're going to show you step by step how to create your Google my business listing
for Google Maps and discuss the
Google My Business verification processes. We'll be right back.
okay welcome back so step one is to go
to google.com bring up the search bar
and search for your company name.
I'm gonna use just a fictitious example here of
Sambo's plumbing company San Diego California
and up will come an ad if there is one up on top.
Here's our Google Maps this is what we care about.
We're going to open that up and look for
Sambo's plumbing company hopefully there
is not one. It's just a fictitious name I made up.
Hopefully we'll be able to find one.
Now there's another possibility that you might find one. I'm gonna look for one real fast.
Okay so it's possible you
may find your company name and a knowledge box in Google my business and the maps,
but it's not being managed and claimed by your business.
You don't have control over it. And you would know that by if you found your name listed
and you clicked on it. In this case I found Cass Plumbing,
it has this comment here "Own this business?"
If that's the case for you,
then you would click on that,
and you'd be taken to google.com/business/
or the home page for Google My Business.
We'll go there in a sec. So barring that though
you would go through all the pages that are there
In this case there's four pages down here at the bottom.
Just making sure there is no Sambo's plumbing company
Okay so there is not.
So here's this question mark again this guy has not claimed his.
so if you clicked on that you would go to your Google sign-in page.
I don't want to go there just yet so we're gonna back out
and we're just gonna go to google.com again and search for Google My Business okay.
We want their home page
which should be the first result right
here Google my business get your free business listings.
google.com/business
This is the home page for google my business
These listings are incorporated into the Google Maps
Okay so you would click here up in the upper right to sign in to your standard your business Google account.
If you don't have one you'll be creating one.
so you click sign in and if you didn't have an account here you would be signing in to your account.
I'm gonna use a different account okay
and now it's asking us what's the name of the business we want to put in the in the directory?
We said Sambo's plumbing company.
You would read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before you agree,
and then we would click onto next.
We're just making it up on here I'm going to use the address
of a UPS store down there.
I do NOT recommend you use a UPS store,
we're just using that as an example here.
We're gonna add a line for our Suite #
If you have a suite # add the line.
Suite 101 and then we're gonna add San Diego
California take away the CA there my bad
and the zip down there is 92101.
If you deliver goods to your customers
services to your customers only and they don't come to you
you want to click on that and then hide your address.
If you want to hide your address.
If it's not a storefront and you don't want people coming ,
you want to hide the address.
If it's your personal home and you're in home services business or professional services,
anything out of your home
and you don't want the house address being shown on maps.
okay so we're gonna leave it as that and move on
Here you can define your service area.
What's the distance? We can define it by distance around our business location,
or specific cities or regions or zip codes.
I'm going to use distance for simplicity and set it at 50 miles.
you can also do kilometers in the UK or elsewhere around the world.
And now business category.
You should be doing category research first.
If you do not find your category listing go back to our video
we have done previously on how to do category research
for your Google my business listing. It's very important!
Your primary category, this one here is the easiest.
It's most likely your profession or major service category
In this case, we're a plumber okay or plumbing company.
So you can put in plumbing and see if there's something else.
And again you should do category research beforehand.
Now if we were a plumbing supply store that would be a better option for us
But we're still plumber in this scenario so we're going to choose plumber.
Here's where it gets tricky in this example for phone number.
I'm using the one of the of the UPS store down there,
okay so now it's finished.
Or our business set up is finished anyways.
We still have to complete it and verify it.
okay but it once it's all done it'll allow new customers to find you in Google search and maps.
It will promote your business with photos and posts.
It will track business analytics to help better understand your customers better.
so Google will show us data with
what the search terms customers are using to find your business in Google Maps,
and how many people clicked to go on it to go to your website
how many people clicked on the call button and dialed your business directly.
How many looked at photos etc
It allows for customers to write reviews
right there in your Google Maps listing, your Google my business listing.
and you'll be able to respond to customer reviews, which you should respond to every review good or bad, all of them
and if they're bad just try to take it offline.
something in the order of "sorry you had a bad experience.
We're all about making things right,
we're all about doing business right,
so please give contact us offline to try and
settle the issues and make things right."
Something along those lines, you get the idea.
Okay so now you click finish and it completes processing the listing
and we're taken to our verification options.
Here we are. "Success our listings been created. Choose a way to verify it."
It will not show up in searches until it's verified.
We're gonna put a contact name in there
and it would mail a postcard. It's our only option in this particular case.
postcard by mail
Options depend on the maturity of the company and other factors Google may use.
You may have an option to verify by text or phone here.
but our only option here is by mail.
I'm gonna go ahead and just click on that
and process this so we can see what the dashboard will look like afterwards.
now they will send a postcard out to that address with a code on it.
Once we have the code we can come back,
login we go to our Google my business account,
at https://google.com/business
sign-in
and you will automatically be taken to your GMB listing
unless you have several listings already,
in which case this will be one of them in your listings.
okay now over here at "learn more about your business"
able to click here to verify it now.
Because we just sent out their postcard I guess it's not ready yet.
but if it was ready the box would open up and the
you'd be able to put that code in there
okay and then click verify and then you
would be a verified listing
we're also suspended because we have quality issues because I made up everything right.
so that's how that works
okay so that's how you get your business listed in there
and that's how you get it verified and you're probably going to
only have the mail by post card verification option,
in which you'll get that code and then come back in here
click on verify now a box will show up
you'll put that code in there and you'll be good to go!
From there you will want to start optimizing this listing.
It's incredibly valuable real estate that you do NOT want to miss out on
the opportunity to make it as great as it can be.
Because that is exactly what your prospects are looking at.
It's where and how they see you when they are searching on Google
So the more reviews, the more photos,
and all the various options we will go over in further videos
on how to optimize your Google my business listing.
We're creating a series of several videos
each dealing with these topics exactly.

Okay so I hope that helped.
