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.
