Google Maps Business Page Explained

What is a Google Local page after all? We cannot blame you for not knowing. Google is constantly changing things, creating new terminology for their products, changing the rules on us, and here we are just trying to play catch up.

Google Maps Business Page, simply explained is all the collected info on your company when someone does a Google search specifically looking for your company, and no one else.

This information is super vital if you are wanting your company to appear in Google searches, period. And you can actually control it by:

Claiming your business using a helpful website called “Google My Business“Once your business is claimed and verified, you are highly encouraged to fill out all the details pertaining to your business such as:

  • Correct business name
  • company contact info
  • Business hours
  • photos of your business
  • And much more

You are also encouraged to collect reviews from your patrons, It is here where you bring them to leave a review. Oh yeah, we almost forgot, you could also get a virtual tour for your business using our services and your virtual tour will appear here as well!

Other Names for Google Maps Business Page

Do you think you got it all? Well, you may have heard of all this before, but perhaps by a different name. This is because Google has changed the name in the past. Also, marketers have found easier names to label it by, and so have business owners. So in short, everyone may have their own name for it, but they all mean the same thing.

Here is a short list of Aliases for Google Local:

  • Google Business Page
  • Google Local
  • Google Business
  • Google My Business
  • Google Business View
  • Google Knowledge Graph
  • Google Profile
  • Google+ or Google Plus
  • How to Manage your Google Local Profile

As we explained before, you visit “Google My Business” and make sure that you are signed into your gmail/Google account first. Once logged in, you will be directed on instructions on not only searching for your business, but claiming it, if you haven’t already. This could be done through a number of ways, but the most common way is having a postcard sent to your business address. That postcard carries a pin number, which you would then use to verify the business once you’re logged in.

This is Easy Right? Anyone Can Do This, Right?

If it was so easy to do, believe us, we wouldn’t be here offering business owners in helping them setting them up and optimizing the page for them.
