What is Google My Business?

About

First of all, welcome! In this article, I will give you information about Google My Business, a platform that every business, regardless of size, should definitely be registered on. Before moving on to the article, I would like to share an important piece of information: Google My Business is a completely free service. It also offers its users the opportunity to create a free website.

Because of a situation I often hear from my close circle, I wanted to prepare this article. I learned that some people try to scam businesses by calling them and saying things like "Let's make you appear on Google Maps, the price is 600 TL." I want to inform you against these fraud attempts.


What is Google My Business?

Google My Business is a free tool that allows your business to appear in Google search results and Maps. When users search for your business name, they see a panel with your:

  • Location
  • Uploaded images
  • Phone number
  • Working hours
  • User reviews and more.

In addition, when users search for a type of business (for example, "cafes nearby"), they see a panel listing the most suitable options for their location. At this point, registering your business is very important.

How to Use Google My Business?

1. Register for Google My Business

  • You can register by going to the Google My Business page with your Google account.
  • Fill in your business name, address, contact information, and category information.

2. Complete the Verification Process

  • Google sends you a verification code (usually by mail) to verify your business. You can complete your registration by entering this code on the platform.

    • 3. Complete Your Business Profile

  • By filling out your profile completely, you provide more information to customers. Adding images, working hours, and special campaigns makes your business more attractive.

    • Advantages of Google My Business

    • More Visibility: Appearing in search engine results allows you to reach more customers.
    • Customer Interaction: You can respond to user reviews and evaluate customer feedback.
    • Local SEO: Makes it easier for your business to appear at the top in location-based searches.
    • Free Website: You can create a simple and effective website with Google My Business.

    Finally; Google My Business

    Google My Business is a powerful tool to make your business stand out in the digital world. I especially recommend that you be careful against scammers and take full advantage of this free service.
