Sharing your company on Google Maps

Share and manage your business on Google Maps

When you're in a new place and want to look up a restaurant, for example, there's a strong chance you'll use Google and wind up on Google Maps. Here you will discover the nearest restaurants, along with customer evaluations and, in some cases, the menu and associated images. The amount of relevant information and customer reviews is thus important for your restaurant selection. Have you ever pondered how and why this information wound up on Google? The answer is simple: businesses create their own Google company profiles and upload them to Google. This elevates them in the search results, makes businesses simpler to locate for customers, and drives more traffic to the website or physical location. Do you have a (physical) business or perhaps a domain that you want to attract more visitors to? It's simple to share your company on Google Maps; we'll show you how.
