Updating Your Google Business

Google My Business is a powerful tool that helps businesses of every size get found online. But unless managed properly, it can also have negative consequences, like providing too little information about your business to prospective clients or giving undeserved weight to negative reviews. Fortunately, managing your business’s page is fairly quick and simple. Here we’ll use C&J’s Classic Cars as an example.

Note: This article covers editing an existing Google Business page. For information about creating a new Google Business page, try visiting Google’s My Business explainer page, or searching online.

 

 How to Find and Edit Your Google My Business Page

1. First, make sure you’re signed into your Google account. If you’re not signed in, you won’t be able to make changes to your business page. To sign in, type “Google.com” into your browser and click the “Sign in” button.

2. The easiest way to find your Google Business page is to search for your company in Google, either by a regular Google search, or by visiting plus.google.com and searching for your business there.
At the top of the search results you should see your website, and a link leading you to your Google+ Business page
