Why create a Google Business profile?

Having your listing on Google Business is completely free and enables you to:

  • Gain visibility online
    Display your business on Google Maps and attract new customers!

  • Display up-to-date information
    Keep your opening hours and contact details updated to keep business running smoothly!

  • Receive reviews
    Have customers leave reviews on Google to increase your online visibility and increase customer interaction!


Get started

Head to the Google Business site and click Manage Now to begin!

You can then sign in to your Google account or sign up for a new one for your business.

Enter the name of your business, Google will give you some suggestions of existing listings in case you would like to claim the ownership of one created previously.

Then, enter the address of your business. If you are based out of your home, you can choose later to not display your full address to customers online:

Next, you will be asked to choose a category for your business. If you can't find your exact activity, choose the one that seems closest!

Enter your business telephone number and the address of your booking site. Here you begin to fill in details like your contact information and opening hours for your customers to review online!

To complete your registration, Google will need to verify the validity of your Business. This will sometimes happen automatically, but they may need to contact you by post in some cases!

In these cases, you will need to allow an average of 10 to 14 days for receipt of the letter and therefore for the creation of your Google My Business account.
