How to quickly add a business to Google Maps

Why is it important to add your business to maps
- Your business details will appear in the top of the first page of search results and on Google Maps. Customers can easily find you by simply routing to your office on Google Maps.
- Customers will leave reviews about the company; these reviews will be available to potential customers, as they will be displayed near the URL.
- Mobile users who are within your service range will see all the companies marked on the map, including your company, and will be able to quickly find and choose you.
- Customers will go to your website to get more specific information (the website URL will be placed next to the map), and you will receive additional orders.
- Location information can be used for Google AdWords advertising provided the contextual advertising is set up.
Check out more advantages of marking your company on the maps:
- Google Maps is free-of-charge.
- It is not necessary to own a website to be able to add a company to the maps.
- If you have several branches or shops, you can also mark them on the map.
- If the business is not linked to a specific location, and you provide on-site services, business registration is also possible.
Before proceeding with setting up your My Business account using the instructions below, please note this important factor.
- Brand Page: It is not linked to the location and is not displayed on Google Maps and Search Engine. It is designed to communicate with brand fans and post different news. Users cannot leave reviews on it.
- Company or Organization Page: company page with location information. It is displayed on Google Maps as well as in the search results. Users can leave feedback about the company.
So, now we can start the setup. It's quite easy and will take you not more than ten minutes.
