Creating a Google My Business page

Our Smart Cow ‘Marketing Minute’ videos are here to provide you with quick marketing tips for successful online lead generation for your business.   

In our previous video we talked about the benefit of Google My Business. Our advice is that you make sure you have set up your business on this directory before you even think about setting up your social media accounts or creating a website.

This is because Google is one of the most popular search engines so it is essential that you are on it as it’s another way to help prospects find you. It also helps with your ongoing search engine optimisation strategy and improving your online presence.

Watch our latest video where Simon Cripps gives you an overview of how to get started on setting you your Google My Business page.

Google My Business set up

  • Log into your Google account that you associate with your business or create an account if you do not already have one.
  • Then go to google.com/business/
  • If you are not already registered, then enter your business name, and follow the steps to enter your business category, your location, areas you serve and then contact telephone and website URL if you have one
  • Select a method to verify your listing and away you go.

That’s your Google My Business page set up in a nutshell.

Watch out for our next set of Marketing Minute videos as we delve into a little more detail as to how you can best optimise your newly set up page.
