How to Add Business on Google Maps?

Discover how to add or claim your business on Google My Business (GMB), using these simple 6, step-by-step, instructions to be listed on Google My Business.

The Google Maps function, formerly known as Google Places, is now part of the Google My Business dashboard – Google’s dashboard for managing and tracking your online presence across Google’s various platforms including Google Local (Google Maps), Google Analytics and Google Ads.

As you’re preparing to set up your listing, just a reminder – although Google will, in some situations, display businesses from surrounding communities in the “Local” search results (Maps), you are only allowed to register your business in the town or city in which you have a physical address.
