About Google My Business

If you would like to maintain a presence on Google (who wouldn’t?), then you can log in to Google My Business and manage either a single business listing or multiple listings/locations.

Google My Business is the interface for maintaining listings that appear in Google Maps and Search.  You can get your business listing verified, edit details, manage photos, access Insights, respond to reviews for your listing and more.  Posts can also be upload with content, video and images, similar to a social media platform.  However, users can’t comment or share posts.

Check your Google Maps listing here and find out if you need to edit it in the Google My Business dashboard.  You of course need a Google Account to access your information (but a Gmail account is not required)!

Call us with any questions or if you need help.  (805) 765-1501.

Testimonials

Thank you, Tina. Great work as always! Love the wording and images on your ads, and it’s wonderful to see the click-throughs to the Mental Health page you wrote and lecture page on our website. Kathy Burris, Los Angeles, CA February 2021
I think the ads are effective. And doubling the amount spent can only help. I was unsure how many we would have come, so I was a bit careful about the advertising for our talk. We had about 20-25 show up. I understand we got some people from the FB ads. I do think the FB ads are a plus. Lecture Chairman, So Cal church December 2022
Thank you so much for the report on our Facebook ad and for the work you did to publicize our lecture.  We had 155 people join our online lecture.  We very much appreciate your support.  The number of users reached is great.  We have made so much progress since we started running ads a few years ago. Linda GerltFirst Church of Laguna Beach
Our website ChristianScienceLosAngeles had the highest activity ever and we’ve had 398 views of the webinar as of today on YouTube. It looks like Tuesday was an all time high for pages accessed on our website coinciding with your facebook ad release. Then the day of the webinar we had another new high for visits and pages accessed. We are pleased that your targeted facebook ads seemed to reach individuals that were interested in exploring our website. Thanks for your good work!!!

Sylvia Crew-Rynski, Thousand Oaks Church Lecture Committee Chair June 2019 Facebook Live, Thousand Oaks

Marty DeWindt First Church Laguna Niguel, CA August 2018 Facebook Advertising, Nonprofit Testimonial, Laguna Niguel
Thank you Tina, and good to know these results from our Facebook advertising.  We’re working on educating our membership about the value of social media and appreciate this data to confirm.  We definitely had a number of visitors and heard very good feedback about our speaker at our talk. -Madelon Maupin, Bibleroads.com, Newport Beach, CA November 2018 Facebook Advertising, Nonprofit Testimonial, Newport Beach
The Facebook advertising worked!  It was our largest crowd w/a significant number of new comers.  The LARGE auditorium was almost full!  The lecture was so well received that the Q & A didn’t finish until 4 pm.  -Caraway Longville & First Church, San Diego, CA June 2017 Facebook Advertising, Nonprofit Testimonial, San Diego
