Important Note
This video happened to come out at an awkward time, because the ability to edit Google My Business details is restricted at the moment.
All edits have to go through Google’s review team, which is currently limited due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Eventually, things should return to normal as far as editing Google My Business listings goes.
See Google’s full video, as well as a complete transcript, below:
Let’s talk about how you can change your Google Maps information in search.
If you own a store, or a business with a physical address where you see customers, you can claim the listing on Google My Business.
Google My Business is a free tool that helps you manage how your local business appears on Maps or Search.
If your business serves customers at a particular location, or within a designated service area, Google My Business helps people find it.
Google My Business is useful for maintaining accurate information about your business in Google Search, for interacting with your customers, and for attracting new customers.
Verified businesses on Google My Business are twice as likely to be considered reputable by users.
It’s very important that you keep your business information up to date so that customers can find you.
Sign in to your Google My Business account to edit your business’s details. You will only have editing access if you have first verified your listing in Google My Business.
The details you can edit in your Google My Business are: your business name, your business category, your hours of operation, your phone numbers, your website URL, photos for your business, your opening date, and the address.
And that’s it. This video concludes the Search for Beginners series. However, there are many more videos coming up to the Google Webmasters YouTube channel.
