Everything is really simple here: you need to add information about your company to the free Google My Business service. We will tell you how to do this further.
How do I create a custom location on Google Maps?
First, you must register with Google My Business.
Click on “Add”, create an account in the system or log into your existing Google account.
Indicate the name of the company, territory, select the category of activity as accurately as possible.
Indicate a contact phone number (in this case, you can advertise yourself even if you do not have your own website).
Verify your Google My Business account information.
7 days or half a month after submitting the application, a Google form will be sent to the email, which must be confirmed. In some cases, you can confirm the information on Google Search Console or by phone. The system itself chooses the method of confirmation depending on the type of business. If after a month you still haven't received a confirmation email, you can contact Google support.
Do not forget to include as much up-to-date information as possible on the Information page. Indicate the categories in which you work, the description of the company, the opening hours and the method of payment. Don't forget to post as many photos and videos as possible.
