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?
You would think so, but many business owners are way too busy to keep up with all the updates, and ensuring that their information is exactly how Google suggests it to be. 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.
