Note: There might be a listing for an old business at the same location where you\'re registering a new business. Do not attempt to claim it. Instead, suggest an edit to have it marked as closed. Then, proceed with creating a new Google My Business listing for your business.

  1. On your computer or laptop, sign in to Google My Business.
  2. Sign in to your Account, or create. Then, click Next.

    • Sign up with your business email domain since this account will be for your chain. Enter the business name or chain. You can also select your chain from the suggestions that appear as you type (if applicable).

  3. Enter your business\' or chain\'s address. You may also be asked to position a marker on the location of your chain\'s branch on a map. If your business doesn\'t have a physical location but works in a service area, you can list the area instead. Then, click Next.
  4. Select if you want your business location to appear on Google Maps.

    • If you serve customers at your business address:

      1. Enter your business address.
      2. Click Next.
        Tip: If you also serve customers outside your business address, you'll have the option to list your service areas as well.

    • If you don't serve customers at your business address:

      1. Enter your business address.
      2. At the bottom, click I deliver goods and services to my customers and then Next.
      3. List your service areas, then click Next.

  5. Search for and select a business category. You can also choose a more specific category as appropriate. Then, click Next.
  6. Enter a phone number or website URL for your chain, and click Finish.
    Tip: You'll also have the option to create a free website based on your information. It\'s recommended that you provide the individual phone number or store page for each location, rather than a single centralized call center.
  7. Select a verification option.

    • To verify later, click Verify later and then Later. If you\'re not authorized to manage the Business Profile for the chain, find the person in your organization who\'s authorized and continue the process.

Review your information

No matter what you see, confirm that your business information is correct. It\'s important that when you verify your business information, everything is ready to appear to customers across Google.

To edit incorrect information, follow these steps:

  1. Click Later.
  2. If you manage more than one location, open the Menu Menu and click Manage locations. Then, select the location you want to edit.
  3. Click Info from the menu on the left side of the screen.
  4. Click Edit Edit next to each section you\'d like to change and enter your business information.

Now that you\'ve either claimed or created your listing, it\'s time to verify your business. After you verify, your business information will be eligible to appear across Google.
