Claim your Google Business Profile

Nothing else on this list moves much until the profile is yours.

Step 1. Go to google.com/business and sign in with the Google account you want to own the listing.

  1. Go to google.com/business and sign in with the Google account you want to own the listing (use one you'll keep).
  2. Search your business name and address; if it exists, choose “Claim this business”. If not, add it.
  3. Verify. Google offers a video call, a phone code, or a postcard (5–14 days). The video route is fastest: you show the storefront, signage, and that you can open the door.
  4. Once verified, fill every field: hours, phone, website, categories, description, photos. That is the whole game.
