Here are some simple steps that you can follow to claim your listing:

  2. Click on Business Listing
  3. Follow instructions on the Business Listing page

  5. When you are prompted to “claim by mail”, there is an option that says “more options”. Click that.

DO

  1. Claim your listing!
  2. OWN your listing. (Read “DO NOT’s” for more detail)
  3. Make sure your listing is linked from your website.
  4. Also make sure to correctly classify your business (for example if you are a lawyer, what type of law do you specialize in?)
  5. Add a business description on your Google business page (if you have a website, it may be easier to copy your introductory paragraph on your home page).  Tell people who you are, what you offer, what makes you different from your competitors.
  6. Encourage customers to leave reviews for you on your Google Business Listing.
  7. Upload high quality images of your business or product.

DO NOT

  1. Give control over your Google My Business listing to other companies! (like phone book companies)
  2. Don’t pay for services that claim to handle this listing for you! DON’T DO IT – no matter how good they sound. This is insane and businesses regularly pay massive amounts of money (sometimes every month) for a service that takes 20 minutes to handle.
  3. Don’t ignore your listing. Log in to your Google My Business listing portal every 6 months or so just to make sure that everything is up to date.
