How Do I Make a Google My Business Profile?

To make a profile, you must first claim your Google My Business Profile. After you claim your profile, Google will verify your business. Part of the verification process includes mailing your business address. Be sure to provide the correct business address for this purpose.,/p>

If you operate your business out of your home and do not want that information listed on your Google My Business listing, never fear. There is an option to list your business without address information. This way your company will still show up in Map results for your service area, but your address will not.
