Google

From the age of a favorite actor to contractors near me, people turn to Google for answers to every question imaginable. You might think that having a website is enough, but you also need to be listed on Google in order for your most basic information (phone number, website, address) to be most visible. If you have ever searched for a business on Google, you will notice a map and list of options come up before the actual search results. Business owners list, or claim, their business on Google in order to appear there.

  2. Next prepare all text that will appear on the Google Business page and search (business name, about section, etc)
  3. Now you’re ready. Click here to create a new Google Business Account
