Getting Started with Google Business Profile
Creating a Google Business Profile is the first step to enhancing your online presence. Start by visiting the Google Business Profile homepage and clicking “Get on Google.” You’ll need to provide essential details such as your business name, address, and phone number. Verification is a crucial step, and Google offers several methods, including phone calls, texts, postcards, or video verification. Once verified, you can start optimizing your profile to make it more attractive and accessible to potential customers.
