Hi guys, I hope this tutorial was useful to you. To clarify the name a bit; 👉🏼 Google has been changing the name of Google Business a gazillion times. Now its Google Business Profile, before that it was named Google My Business, before that, Google Places, and before that it was Google+ Local, before that it was also Google Places and then prior to that I think it was Google Local.... Lets just say that you can do what ever you want if you are one of the biggest companies on the planet 😂 Let me know what you think of the newest name and if this video was useful 👍🏼
Yes, the video is very useful, however, I have a question. Please, how can someone not in America get verified as verification is only for those in America?

Hi there! Thanks for the question! Yeah you could do this, but it also involves inviting them to their own account and takes some time. Most easy way is to use their Google Account (if they are comfortable with that) 👍🏻😀
Thank you, Matt! Simply explained. I’m now a follower too! Question, does aa location address get more traction than a home address? I provide notary and apostille services? Up to now I’ve been meeting with my clients on my porch or a local coffee shop. Any suggestions are very appreciated. Ty
Hi Rosie! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for subscribing! No a home address or a office address does not make any difference in my experience with my clients. As long as your brand name contains the biggest SEO keyword, you will be good 😁

Great Video ! Exactly what I was looking for. Question: I have a REMOTE service business. Can I remove my physical address after it gets verified? or change to a PO Box.?
Hi Moe Maya! Thanks for the question. Well I don't think you can change the physical adres after verification but you can try of course... let me know how it goes!
@@WPressDoctor actually after digging deeper i found there is an option not to enter your address if you provide a service. and also the physical address for the post card is not for public display, so i answered my own question.

Hi Matt, That was a Great video, I wanted to ask, What if you have an Affiliate website, where you talk and promote other companies' products and services, can you still use Google My Business to get more exposure in terms of SEO? The website is in English and targets English-speaking countries, but the primary Audience is the US, CA, UK & AU. Love your videos! It would be great to see more Divi tutorials.
Hi James, thank you for your question. I don’t think Google Business will help on the long run with SEO on a global scale. For local, yes. Multiple countries and you don’t have physical offices / stores - no 👍🏻😀

Hi Eric! Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it. I'm glad I could help you out with setting up Google Business . Yeah sometimes you get a postcard, some other countries you can't... its a bit strange.
Hi Matt, great video thank you. Quick question - how do I go about creating the account if I am creating this on behalf of a client? Can I later transfer ownership to the client?
Hi Deniz! Thanks for the great question. Actually you can! Just create it and then when you need to, you can transfer ownership. Here is how: support.google.com/business/answer/3415281?hl=en

Hi there! Thanks for the question. Well then you can get some advertising budget for “free”. If you invest $50 you get $50 for free for example. In the. Beginning stages of your business, I would not advise you to burn money in AdSense, focus on SEO first 😀👍🏻
wonderful very simple, I was looking for such a nice explanation of local listing , , tow questions first a lot of local business are get automatically place on google local business is it true ? even they business owners don't no how they got listed. second question is when I go to some local business I can add photos and easily claim to own the business, why is like that ? its is really so easy or their is some thing special behind it ?
Hi Rahmat, thanks for your kind words, I'm glad you liked the video. So some places do get listed by other people just walking across the street and adding new places in. That could be the case. When trying to verify it, its not that simple as it seems, most of the time you need to create a video or receive a postcard from the mail. So its pretty secured 😁
Hi Hassan Mortazavi, thanks for your question! You are very welcome, well the beauty of this is that its completely free! So no worries there. Google might ask you to advertise your business, but you don't have to do that of course. Let me know if that answers your question!

I will be studying your content on Facebook Really enjoyed this because it’s very important the way you did this. You made it at a slow pace. Easy to understand as a couple areas I wish a little more clear but hopefully I can figure it out. I’m not that savvy with this stuff. But thank you very much for a very well done video
Hi there! You are very welcome! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it! Let me know where you can’t figure it out, I try to help you from here. Have a great day and stay safe 😀👍🏻
Thank you so much for this easy and straight forward tutorial! Question: Will the gmail adress be linked with the business profile cause to create a business site you need to be logged in with a google account, right? Am asking because I want to set up one but the client has already an email adress (not gmail). So does she need to have her own gmail for the business site?
HI Malathy! Thank you for your question and kind words, I really appreciate it. A Google account can also be linked to a 'normal' e-mail address. So your client does not need a Gmail address, the client needs a Google Account 😀 Have a great day and take care. Greetings

Hi there! Thanks for the question. I would not advice you to register a content creator. You could register your official business name, but it actually doesn’t make sense since people don’t come to your building to do business… I think it will not be approved if you apply for it 😀

Hi there! Thanks for the question! If you have a local business and someone inside of your local area searches for your service or product, than yes, it will help you being found inside of Google because they will show the local business...
Great tutorial! Very informative. I have a client that gets a lot of calls through GBP page every month.I was wondering if it is legal to use the numbers that can be identified as mobile to do SMS text marketing to. Can you give me any insight to this idea whether it is something which should be pursued? Thanks!
Hi TMacman! Thanks for the kind words. Yeah you could pursue that, if its legal? I don't know about that in your country. It sure is worth to investigate 👍🏼😁
Thanks for the video. I have my "call" button updated for my business. However, i would prefer for customers to text me instead. Is that possible through Google? Like, when they search my business instead of having the "call" button, have a "text" or "sms" button?
Hi Micheal! Thanks for the question. Unfortunately thats not possible from what I know. You can use the "Messaging" service from Google My Business app, but i know that's not the same... sorry!
Hi Sherri! You are very welcome! Thank you so much for the tip, I wasn’t expecting that 🥹 I’m glad I could be of service and add value to your online journey. Have a great day and stay safe!

Hi Matt. Great video, thank you. I have one question, i'm in the UK and following a course on setting up a business. The course content states that I need to upload my services insurance certificate for google verification, although google have already verified my business. Is this something that you have heard of? Many thanks in advance
Hi there! Thanks for the question! I have never heard of such a thing needed to be uploaded… these are the things that can be used to verify the business: support.google.com/business/answer/7107242?hl=en

Thank you Matt, for creating this great tutorial. I have followed the steps and have created my Google Business Profile. Now the problem is I don't get verification email in my mail box. its been months now. Can you help me through. Greeting from Ghana.
HI dear this was perfect,i have a question is the website for free or have to pay and i heard from my friends that if some see website then coming charges is this true
Hi there! You are very welcome! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. I’m glad I could help you out with this video. No, Google My Business is free, as long as you don’t start advertising 😌 Stay tuned, more awesome tutorials coming up! Have a great day and take care 😀👍🏻
let's say you want to manage a client's account on google Maps such as adding work hours, adding photos and answering reviews, how do I go about doing that
Hi Matt! Thanks for this video. Very helpful. I do have a question regarding service based business... can I add a service as a product on the listing? or does it have to be under services? I've added the services already but just wondering if I can ad them as "products" as well because the product section stands out more than the service section. Thanks!
Hi Martina, you are very welcome. I'm glad you liked the video! Well you could do that, but its actually a service. So people would also get maybe confused about that and I know Google doesnt appreciate it 😊 Let me know if you have any more questions! Have a great day and stay safe!

Hi Matt, great video. I created my "service" Google Business profile already (no physical address). It is a consultation service. When I clicked "Get Verified," I had to enter my mailing address, but then it only gave me a way to verify by "Business Video." I don't have the postcard option to send to my mailing address. Not sure why Google needs to show proof of business location when it is a service business. What would I do then?
Hi Danny! Thanks for the kind words and the question. I see this a lot happening. So when offering a “service” business, you always have to put in a physical address. It might be not logical, but if you register your business with he chamber of commerce, you also need to have a physical address. So your home address then would be the way to go!
Great video, thank you - however I am having the same issue as some people in the comment section. We only have the option of uploading a video. Then it just says it's being verified for days, before eventually disappearing and allowing you to try and get verified again (despite following the instructions and providing the verification criteria) It's funny because it is a plumbing business we are trying to verify! We have made a video with the address, showing tools, service vehicle (unbranded,) contractors/plumbing license, business license, business card... You mentioned in your response to someone below to contact Google if we are having problems...any idea HOW to contact Google effectively? Thanks!
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. Hm that’s not good. It could be that they get to much signups? I don’t know actually, I don’t work at Google. Unfortunately I don’t have a any contact information either… sorry 😞
Great video! Thank you. Can you tell me how to get the icon beside my business in Google search results listing? I've added a logo in Google which is now showing up when I go to manage my business in Google, but it is not showing up in the search results.
Hi Dave Jones! Thank you for your comment and kind words. Well the logo is being added to the search results but it can take some time before this shows up. Give Google a few days to get it in 😊
Hi, Matt! I have a question. I’m currently managing the Google My Business profile for a restaurant located within a hotel. How can I ensure that the restaurant's profile clearly indicates that it is ''located in the hotel'' and mentions the resort's website? I saw couple of GMB of other restaurant and it there is a option ''Located in'' but I couldn't find that option on mine
Hi Ariska! Thank you for your question about the Google My Business Profile. One way to do this is to add in your location on the exact same streetname and number as the hotel. Then the option might just show up! If not, you could wait for a few days, it might appear then...
Great info and I did a business entry, got to the end and have been waiting for a verification and it has been almost 4 weeks. Any suggestions? Will look at the rest of your content.
Hi Amy! Thanks for the question. I don't know why it takes so long with some businesses. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do. Maybe send Google a e-mail?
Thank you so much for getting back to me, what about receiving a phone call that says they're checking on the Google page is that legit? And it says service business so it shouldn't be a big deal
Hi Matt, thnak you for assisstant , I have a problem , I created a business of services ، I wrote my business information with a good description of the service, and I made sure that my business operates according to Google’s instructions, and I sent documents proving the existence of my business, but all of that was to no avail. My business is still suspended. What is the solution? Note that I sent a recovery request and it was not successful
This was so helpful, I'm from India i want to create a google business for a friend who is a physiotherapist, He wants to create it for his home care service which he provides going to his clients home and provide them the service, what will be the best keywords to use and also the category for it , he has a physical address where is stay but will that be ok for verification
Hi Dale! Thank you for your question. Yeah the physical adres is great, you can use that! Keywords wordt be physiotherapist I think ☺️ category should be healthcare I think?
Yesterday I created a google business profile with the help of this video! However, I have changed the name slightly of my business. My profile is still not visible, although I verified it via email. Can I change the name of my business now? I learned that a very similar name is used by someone in a nearby city. What do I do?
Hi, Maybe a super stupid question. I got a task to manage a business profile of the company i work in. The profile is verified and it says i can manage the business profile. But i only get as far as answering on reviews and editing the profile. But if i wanna go into "Google my business" it jumps back to the "google search" and not the work space i can edit companies search results or snippets. Any types what i can do??
Hi there! Thanks for the question. So it seems that you don't have full ownership of the business and you are just allowed to edit things. Try logging into Google with the main account of the company, that should work!
It was exact thing that happened to mine too. But thanks to my friend Nikky who referred me to the expert *_Cyber.kor1* (solution and support services) and they got mine fixed .
how long will it takes for google to verify my business place if i chose "verifired by video"?....it said only 5 days but my place still not verified yet?..thanks if you replied this...
Hi there! Thanks for the question! This might take a good while to do indeed... it totally depends on your country, if you read through the comments, it might take weeks... pretty annoying sometimes 🤔
What if I sell baked goods online and meet up at a public place to avoid people knowing and coming to my home? How do I get this verified the postcard code from google or how can I add my address without showing my address to the public?
they dont send postcards anymore - in fact, setting up a profile is extremely difficult - we have listings stuck in Pending Review and google support does nothing
Hi there! Thanks for your comment. In some countries they still send postcards. For example in my country, The Netherlands 👍🏻😀 Where are you at in the world?
Hi I was wondering if you could help me? I want to improve my local seo strategy but using Google my business but I don't know if its possible. I've seen that googles guidelines claim that they don't allow virtual offices to be used for Google my business. I'm sure there are people out there that are using virtual offices in some way for registering a Google my business profile that fit the criteria but I can't find a way of clearly doing this. Do you know how I can use some location in the UK that I'm not physically located but can visit to get registered on Google my business? Thanks
Hi there! That’s a good question. Unfortunately they made it quite hard to do this. Especially because you can streetview your location. Thats why Google also don’t want that you use a ‘fake’ address. You could rent a small office for a month and see “if it fits” for no charge and then cancel the contract there?
Hey matt, Im really having trouble getting my buisness to show up on google, can you help me. I went through all these steps but it doesn't show up when I search it. Maybe it's mot verifying? I don't know. Please help.
Hi there and thanks for the question! Well that depends on a lot of factors. It will only show up when its verified. Did you already verify it in someway? Or is it still pending?
Hi there! Thanks for the question! If I or my client doesn’t have a physical address, I don’t apply for Google My Business 😋 Because it is really to add your business to Google Maps actually 😎🤷🏼♂️
I saw several videos now of people who manage the google business profile for someone else. Do you have an idea if there is a demand for such a service? And if so, do I need the clients google account data or can I offer this service without his or her sensitive access datas? Or can I simply create a completley new entry and administrate the Google Business Profile for them in that way?
Hi there and thanks for your questions. Yes you could manage this for your clients but more of a one-time service I suppose? Or you can update it and put new posts in it, that’s also possible of course 👍🏻
D m vinethics he'll help you He fixed mine he has 90k followers account. TH-cam is not letting me to write to you in full make sure is the right account you Dm
Loved your video and followed it. BUT Google said it would take 5 days to review my Business Profile request. It's now been 6 weeks and I can't get any help. Says VERIFIED. Not Public! HELP please. Trying to get my business visible to the public.
Hi there! Thanks for your question. That's frustrating! If you have put in a opening date, it should show within 90 days: support.google.com/business/answer/9174409?sjid=9407716502799562440-EU
What if I do not have a actual office. I sale Medicare plans and I go to people. I just have home office where I do my work and enroll them over the phone or go see them.
Hi there! Thanks for the question. For what I know, I think it’s not permitted In summary: If you are renting a virtual office space, for it to be eligible for a Google business profile, you must have clear signage, physically meet with clients at this location, and your staff must be present in the office during the hours you list. If all of this does not apply and you set up a listing anyway, you are technically in violation of Google’s guidelines. But who is going to check and are they going to shut you down or anything?
Hi, I have a question I have a physical business, a storefront where customers can come and visit But I am closing down the physical location and moving to another state For my husband‘s work, instead of opening another location in a different state I was going to start working from home do you have any videos on how to do that and update the information that I currently have.
Keep in mind that If you want to change your old address(move your business) to a new address, Google will definitely require to reverify your business listing.
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Yeah just change the address of your current GMB location to the new address. Indeed you have to verify it, so it could be troublesome…
Hi Mahsa! Thanks for your kind words! I really appreciate it. I'm glad I could help you out. I hope my other video's are also beneficial for you! Have a great day and take care 👍🏼
Hi there! Well if have too many identical or similar keywords spread throughout the content on your website, then that’s almost always a bad thing. In local search your focus keywords are your keywords in combination with local spots / cities / areas. So if you put it it in right, there should be no cannabilization and your OK 👍🏻😀

Hi, I accidentally created a business profile for the company I work for under my own personal email account. It's still unverified of course. How do I remove this unverified profile from my email account? I tried everything! I already created a new business profile for our company under the correct business email account and even submitted a video for verification already! I just need this business profile gone from my personal email account. Please help!
Hi Denise! Thanks for your question, its actually pretty easy. If its not yet verified than you could just leave it, OR follow these steps: support.google.com/business/answer/4669092?hl=en
Hi Matt 👋, please help me out here, I've been trying to get different clients' businesses on Google but whenever I get to the verification process and I pick "Phone Call", Google ends up not sending the call. Please what do I do here?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Well it could be one of two reasons. First it that the phone number is on their blacklist, try using another phone number. Second thing could be that your Google Account has been flagged for making to many places. Try using a different Google Account for each clients - so use their email adres to make the place. Third - it could be that the phone verification is just buggy, try another verification method (if that is available!) let me know if that helps! Have a great day and stay safe 😀👍🏻
Hi Matt, thank you so much for your video. I created a business profile for a client of mine, however i have an issue with the photos uploading. All of the photos I am trying to add are getting rejected. I have read and followed the guidelines suggested by google, but still nothing. Do you have any idea how could I fix this please?
@@WPressDoctor Thank you for the quick reply :) Yes it is launched and verified. I am following the size guidelines given by Google, but still nothing. Photo guidelines Your photos look best on Google if they meet the following standards: Format: JPG or PNG Size: Between 10 KB and 5 MB. Recommended resolution: 720 px tall, 720 px wide. Minimum resolution: 250 px tall, 250 px wide. Quality: The photo should be in focus and well lit, and have no significant alterations or excessive use of filters. In other words, the image should represent reality.
Hm that’s odd then! You sure it’s in JPG format? Sometimes if you upload via a iPhone for example it’s HEIC format. Other then that, I don’t know. Try uploading via PC?
Hey Matt! I added my google business but noticed I forgot to put in my unit number! Now I dont know what should I do to adjust that, please help, thank you in advance!
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Hmm that’s to bad and nothing we can do about it right now. Just wait a bit for the validation comes in - or is rejected… than apply again!
Hi guys, I hope this tutorial was useful to you. To clarify the name a bit; 👉🏼 Google has been changing the name of Google Business a gazillion times. Now its Google Business Profile, before that it was named Google My Business, before that, Google Places, and before that it was Google+ Local, before that it was also Google Places and then prior to that I think it was Google Local.... Lets just say that you can do what ever you want if you are one of the biggest companies on the planet 😂 Let me know what you think of the newest name and if this video was useful 👍🏼
Thank you soo much Matt!
Yes, the video is very useful, however, I have a question.
Please, how can someone not in America get verified as verification is only for those in America?
Well if your business is in the USA, of course it’s needed to verify in the USA. But if you are somewhere else, you can verify somewhere else 👍🏻😀
The tutorial was great the problem Google business some time yes some time no
love u

Hi there! Thanks for the question! Yeah you could do this, but it also involves inviting them to their own account and takes some time. Most easy way is to use their Google Account (if they are comfortable with that) 👍🏻😀
Thanks a lot.
Hi there! You are very welcome! I’m glad I could help you out with this video 👍🏻😀 Have a great day and take care 🥳
Thank you, Matt! Simply explained. I’m now a follower too! Question, does aa location address get more traction than a home address? I provide notary and apostille services? Up to now I’ve been meeting with my clients on my porch or a local coffee shop. Any suggestions are very appreciated. Ty
Hi Rosie! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for subscribing! No a home address or a office address does not make any difference in my experience with my clients. As long as your brand name contains the biggest SEO keyword, you will be good 😁

Hi Matt,
Just wondering when selecting business type is it possible to change from service business back to local store?
Great video, thank you
Hi there! You are very welcome. I think this is possible, I have never tried it before…
Great Video ! Exactly what I was looking for. Question: I have a REMOTE service business. Can I remove my physical address after it gets verified? or change to a PO Box.?
Hi Moe Maya! Thanks for the question. Well I don't think you can change the physical adres after verification but you can try of course... let me know how it goes!
@@WPressDoctor actually after digging deeper i found there is an option not to enter your address if you provide a service. and also the physical address for the post card is not for public display, so i answered my own question.
Thanks!

Hi Matt,
That was a Great video, I wanted to ask,
What if you have an Affiliate website, where you talk and promote other companies' products and services, can you still use Google My Business to get more exposure in terms of SEO?
The website is in English and targets English-speaking countries, but the primary Audience is the US, CA, UK & AU.
Love your videos! It would be great to see more Divi tutorials.
Hi James, thank you for your question. I don’t think Google Business will help on the long run with SEO on a global scale. For local, yes. Multiple countries and you don’t have physical offices / stores - no 👍🏻😀
Good for hear this!

Hi there! Thanks for the question. Well then you can get some advertising budget for “free”. If you invest $50 you get $50 for free for example. In the. Beginning stages of your business, I would not advise you to burn money in AdSense, focus on SEO first 😀👍🏻
Amazing vedio clear Thnk you so much
Thanks again! 😀😃
wonderful very simple, I was looking for such a nice explanation of local listing , , tow questions first a lot of local business are get automatically place on google local business is it true ? even they business owners don't no how they got listed. second question is when I go to some local business I can add photos and easily claim to own the business, why is like that ? its is really so easy or their is some thing special behind it ?
Hi Rahmat, thanks for your kind words, I'm glad you liked the video. So some places do get listed by other people just walking across the street and adding new places in. That could be the case. When trying to verify it, its not that simple as it seems, most of the time you need to create a video or receive a postcard from the mail. So its pretty secured 😁
Thanks for the informative video. Just wanted to ask, how much this will cost us?
Hi Hassan Mortazavi, thanks for your question! You are very welcome, well the beauty of this is that its completely free! So no worries there. Google might ask you to advertise your business, but you don't have to do that of course. Let me know if that answers your question!

Thank you so much for this easy and straight forward tutorial! Question: Will the gmail adress be linked with the business profile cause to create a business site you need to be logged in with a google account, right? Am asking because I want to set up one but the client has already an email adress (not gmail). So does she need to have her own gmail for the business site?
HI Malathy! Thank you for your question and kind words, I really appreciate it. A Google account can also be linked to a 'normal' e-mail address. So your client does not need a Gmail address, the client needs a Google Account 😀 Have a great day and take care. Greetings

Would you sign up for this as a podcaster, speaker, or other content creator? Or is this mostly for brick and mortar or door to door companies?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. I would not advice you to register a content creator. You could register your official business name, but it actually doesn’t make sense since people don’t come to your building to do business… I think it will not be approved if you apply for it 😀

Great tutorial! Very informative. I have a client that gets a lot of calls through GBP page every month.I was wondering if it is legal to use the numbers that can be identified as mobile to do SMS text marketing to. Can you give me any insight to this idea whether it is something which should be pursued? Thanks!
Hi TMacman! Thanks for the kind words. Yeah you could pursue that, if its legal? I don't know about that in your country. It sure is worth to investigate 👍🏼😁
Thanks for the video. I have my "call" button updated for my business. However, i would prefer for customers to text me instead. Is that possible through Google? Like, when they search my business instead of having the "call" button, have a "text" or "sms" button?
Hi Micheal! Thanks for the question. Unfortunately thats not possible from what I know. You can use the "Messaging" service from Google My Business app, but i know that's not the same... sorry!

Hi Matt! Thanks for this video. Very helpful. I do have a question regarding service based business... can I add a service as a product on the listing? or does it have to be under services? I've added the services already but just wondering if I can ad them as "products" as well because the product section stands out more than the service section. Thanks!
Hi Martina, you are very welcome. I'm glad you liked the video! Well you could do that, but its actually a service. So people would also get maybe confused about that and I know Google doesnt appreciate it 😊 Let me know if you have any more questions! Have a great day and stay safe!

Hi Matt, great video. I created my "service" Google Business profile already (no physical address). It is a consultation service. When I clicked "Get Verified," I had to enter my mailing address, but then it only gave me a way to verify by "Business Video." I don't have the postcard option to send to my mailing address. Not sure why Google needs to show proof of business location when it is a service business. What would I do then?
Hi Danny! Thanks for the kind words and the question. I see this a lot happening. So when offering a “service” business, you always have to put in a physical address. It might be not logical, but if you register your business with he chamber of commerce, you also need to have a physical address. So your home address then would be the way to go!
Great video, thank you - however I am having the same issue as some people in the comment section. We only have the option of uploading a video. Then it just says it's being verified for days, before eventually disappearing and allowing you to try and get verified again (despite following the instructions and providing the verification criteria) It's funny because it is a plumbing business we are trying to verify! We have made a video with the address, showing tools, service vehicle (unbranded,) contractors/plumbing license, business license, business card...
You mentioned in your response to someone below to contact Google if we are having problems...any idea HOW to contact Google effectively? Thanks!
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. Hm that’s not good. It could be that they get to much signups? I don’t know actually, I don’t work at Google. Unfortunately I don’t have a any contact information either… sorry 😞
Great video! Thank you. Can you tell me how to get the icon beside my business in Google search results listing? I've added a logo in Google which is now showing up when I go to manage my business in Google, but it is not showing up in the search results.
Hi Dave Jones! Thank you for your comment and kind words. Well the logo is being added to the search results but it can take some time before this shows up. Give Google a few days to get it in 😊
Hello Matt, please can you help with how to add keywords to your google business account
Hi Bernice Gyasi, thanks for you question. You cannot actually add in keywords into your Google Business account... sorry!
Hi, Matt! I have a question. I’m currently managing the Google My Business profile for a restaurant located within a hotel. How can I ensure that the restaurant's profile clearly indicates that it is ''located in the hotel'' and mentions the resort's website? I saw couple of GMB of other restaurant and it there is a option ''Located in'' but I couldn't find that option on mine
Hi Ariska! Thank you for your question about the Google My Business Profile. One way to do this is to add in your location on the exact same streetname and number as the hotel. Then the option might just show up! If not, you could wait for a few days, it might appear then...
Great info and I did a business entry, got to the end and have been waiting for a verification and it has been almost 4 weeks. Any suggestions? Will look at the rest of your content.
Hi Amy! Thanks for the question. I don't know why it takes so long with some businesses. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do. Maybe send Google a e-mail?
Thank you so much for getting back to me, what about receiving a phone call that says they're checking on the Google page is that legit? And it says service business so it shouldn't be a big deal
Yeah you would think… I don’t know, Google works in mysterious ways 😄
Hi Matt, thnak you for assisstant ,
I have a problem , I created a business of services ، I wrote my business information with a good description of the service, and I made sure that my business operates according to Google’s instructions, and I sent documents proving the existence of my business, but all of that was to no avail. My business is still suspended. What is the solution? Note that I sent a recovery request and it was not successful
Hi there! Thanks for the question. That’s odd! Try again with another verification method, that might work.
Nice video
I tried buh they keep telling me invalid or missing business name. What do I do? Thanks.
Hi there! Thanks for your question. I don't know, it sounds that your business name violates there terms of service. WHat name are you using?
This was so helpful, I'm from India i want to create a google business for a friend who is a physiotherapist, He wants to create it for his home care service which he provides going to his clients home and provide them the service, what will be the best keywords to use and also the category for it , he has a physical address where is stay but will that be ok for verification
Hi Dale! Thank you for your question. Yeah the physical adres is great, you can use that! Keywords wordt be physiotherapist I think ☺️ category should be healthcare I think?
Yesterday I created a google business profile with the help of this video! However, I have changed the name slightly of my business. My profile is still not visible, although I verified it via email. Can I change the name of my business now? I learned that a very similar name is used by someone in a nearby city. What do I do?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Well in this case I would wait a bit until the verification has come through. Then you can always make changes 😀👍🏻
Hi, Maybe a super stupid question. I got a task to manage a business profile of the company i work in. The profile is verified and it says i can manage the business profile. But i only get as far as answering on reviews and editing the profile. But if i wanna go into "Google my business" it jumps back to the "google search" and not the work space i can edit companies search results or snippets. Any types what i can do??
Hi there! Thanks for the question. So it seems that you don't have full ownership of the business and you are just allowed to edit things. Try logging into Google with the main account of the company, that should work!
It was exact thing that happened to mine too. But thanks to my friend Nikky who referred me to the expert *_Cyber.kor1* (solution and support services) and they got mine fixed .
I had to get them on Instagram and turns out to be the best decision I ever made.😊❤
how long will it takes for google to verify my business place if i chose "verifired by video"?....it said only 5 days but my place still not verified yet?..thanks if you replied this...
Hi there! Thanks for the question! This might take a good while to do indeed... it totally depends on your country, if you read through the comments, it might take weeks... pretty annoying sometimes 🤔
What if I sell baked goods online and meet up at a public place to avoid people knowing and coming to my home? How do I get this verified the postcard code from google or how can I add my address without showing my address to the public?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. In this case you can’t. Google My Business is only for people with a ‘business’ that shows its address…. Sorry!
they dont send postcards anymore - in fact, setting up a profile is extremely difficult - we have listings stuck in Pending Review and google support does nothing
Hi there! Thanks for your comment. In some countries they still send postcards. For example in my country, The Netherlands 👍🏻😀 Where are you at in the world?
@@WPressDoctor USA
That’s odd, might be something new, or you are in a remote area… I don’t know exactly what triggers this…
My business is being verified. At this rate I will be out of business before anything happens.
Yeah it sometimes is very slow… don’t depend on Google for all your marketing!!
Hi I was wondering if you could help me? I want to improve my local seo strategy but using Google my business but I don't know if its possible. I've seen that googles guidelines claim that they don't allow virtual offices to be used for Google my business.
I'm sure there are people out there that are using virtual offices in some way for registering a Google my business profile that fit the criteria but I can't find a way of clearly doing this.
Do you know how I can use some location in the UK that I'm not physically located but can visit to get registered on Google my business?
Thanks
Hi there! That’s a good question. Unfortunately they made it quite hard to do this. Especially because you can streetview your location. Thats why Google also don’t want that you use a ‘fake’ address. You could rent a small office for a month and see “if it fits” for no charge and then cancel the contract there?
Hey matt, Im really having trouble getting my buisness to show up on google, can you help me. I went through all these steps but it doesn't show up when I search it. Maybe it's mot verifying? I don't know. Please help.
Hi there and thanks for the question! Well that depends on a lot of factors. It will only show up when its verified. Did you already verify it in someway? Or is it still pending?
If you don't have a website to verify, it's asking for a video of your business. What do you do when you don't have a physical address?
Hi there! Thanks for the question! If I or my client doesn’t have a physical address, I don’t apply for Google My Business 😋 Because it is really to add your business to Google Maps actually 😎🤷🏼♂️
I saw several videos now of people who manage the google business profile for someone else.
Do you have an idea if there is a demand for such a service? And if so, do I need the clients google account data or can I offer this service without his or her sensitive access datas? Or can I simply create a completley new entry and administrate the Google Business Profile for them in that way?
Hi there and thanks for your questions. Yes you could manage this for your clients but more of a one-time service I suppose? Or you can update it and put new posts in it, that’s also possible of course 👍🏻

Hi there! Thanks for your question. Wel you could ask yourself the question if you than need a Google My Business account at all… ?
Hello is creating a gmb for an affiliate website using a virtual office address allowed?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. For what I know, I think it’s not permitted In summary: If you are renting a virtual office space, for it to be eligible for a Google business profile, you must have clear signage, physically meet with clients at this location, and your staff must be present in the office during the hours you list. If all of this does not apply and you set up a listing anyway, you are technically in violation of Google’s guidelines.
But who is going to check and are they going to shut you down or anything?
@@WPressDoctor i haven’t tried yet but I think they’re strict and make you record a video of your location with your clear logo on the building
That could be… you can try!
hey, i needed help on displaying my all branches when someone is searching for our company
Hi there and thanks for the question. What kind of branches do you mean?
Hi, I have a question I have a physical business, a storefront where customers can come and visit But I am closing down the physical location and moving to another state For my husband‘s work, instead of opening another location in a different state I was going to start working from home do you have any videos on how to do that and update the information that I currently have.
Keep in mind that If you want to change your old address(move your business) to a new address, Google will definitely require to reverify your business listing.
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Yeah just change the address of your current GMB location to the new address. Indeed you have to verify it, so it could be troublesome…
it was great thanks

Hi Matt I have one question is this true "keywords canabalization is allowed in local search?
Hi there! Well if have too many identical or similar keywords spread throughout the content on your website, then that’s almost always a bad thing. In local search your focus keywords are your keywords in combination with local spots / cities / areas. So if you put it it in right, there should be no cannabilization and your OK 👍🏻😀

Hi,
I accidentally created a business profile for the company I work for under my own personal email account. It's still unverified of course.
How do I remove this unverified profile from my email account? I tried everything!
I already created a new business profile for our company under the correct business email account and even submitted a video for verification already!
I just need this business profile gone from my personal email account.
Please help!

Hi Matt 👋, please help me out here, I've been trying to get different clients' businesses on Google but whenever I get to the verification process and I pick "Phone Call", Google ends up not sending the call. Please what do I do here?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Well it could be one of two reasons. First it that the phone number is on their blacklist, try using another phone number. Second thing could be that your Google Account has been flagged for making to many places. Try using a different Google Account for each clients - so use their email adres to make the place. Third - it could be that the phone verification is just buggy, try another verification method (if that is available!) let me know if that helps! Have a great day and stay safe 😀👍🏻
Hi Matt, thank you so much for your video. I created a business profile for a client of mine, however i have an issue with the photos uploading. All of the photos I am trying to add are getting rejected. I have read and followed the guidelines suggested by google, but still nothing. Do you have any idea how could I fix this please?
Hi there! Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it. Aren’t the pictures to big? Is the profile already approved and launched?
@@WPressDoctor Thank you for the quick reply :) Yes it is launched and verified. I am following the size guidelines given by Google, but still nothing.
Photo guidelines
Your photos look best on Google if they meet the following standards:
Format: JPG or PNG
Size: Between 10 KB and 5 MB.
Recommended resolution: 720 px tall, 720 px wide.
Minimum resolution: 250 px tall, 250 px wide.
Quality: The photo should be in focus and well lit, and have no significant alterations or excessive use of filters. In other words, the image should represent reality.
Hm that’s odd then! You sure it’s in JPG format? Sometimes if you upload via a iPhone for example it’s HEIC format. Other then that, I don’t know. Try uploading via PC?
Downloading😊
Well done! What are you exactly dowloading?
