Google My Business Listings Management Service

Your Google My Business listing is your new “home page”

Google My Business (formerly Google Places) is one of the best ways for customers to find your business. Whether you’re a shopfront or provide services at your customer’s locations, Google My Business can be a significant source of new customers.

  • Reach customers in your areas
  • Show what people most want to know about your business at a glance
  • Ensure Google gives accurate information
  • Help Google show your business for the widest range of searches

A recent study showed for every 1 person who visits your website, 69 look at the information provided by Google.

How do I get a Google My Business page?

Google My Business is one of the fastest and easiest ways to get your business online and attract customers.

Either claim a pre-existing listing or make one for your new business.

Google My Business listings are for shopfronts or for businesses who provide services at their customer’s premises.

You don’t need to have a website – Google can provide you with one. You don’t even need to be open just yet – you can start getting customers up to 90 days in advance.

Once you have claimed your listing, you can give convenient links to customers to leave you reviews.

We can help you both claim and optimise your Google My Business listing for maximum performance.

Want to do Google My Business yourself?

Step 1

Create or Claim your listing

Go to the Google My Business dashboard or Google Maps and search for your business. If it shows, then select “manage this listing”. If it’s not there, follow the prompts to create a new listing.

Step 2

Complete the business information

Fill out the business contact information in particular, and other information as relevant.

Step 3

Create a mobile-friendly Google Website

Google provides an easy tool to create a website which will show online even before your listing is verified. Even if you have your own website already, this is an opportunity not to be missed.

Step 4

Wait for the verification PIN

Most frequently, Google will use a postcard for verification. That card will contain a verification PIN – enter that into your dashboard as prompted.

Step 5

Ongoing – keep your
listing up to date.


Let customers in on new offers and products, business hours, holidays, respond to reviews, Q&a, and much more.

Contact Google My Business Support

Google no longer provides phone support where you can call in. The preference is to do most support online, with Google’s Support team deciding whether they’ll call you.

Updated: June 2020
This list has been updated with one notable change – Google has consolidated many different support links into one general form.
