What is GMB?

As an entrepreneur, you are always looking for ways to grow the online presence of your business. Having a Google My Business (GMB) page is not only vitally important to that growth, but the Google’s verification process also serves to further legitimize your business on the internet and to the public at large.

Creating a Google My Business listing will also greatly increase the online exposure of your business and allow people to more easily find your business location.

Additionally, a verified GMB account allows you to:

• Add additional business or branding photos
• Write more detailed business descriptions
• Collect important reviews from customers
• Post days open and hours of operation
• Upload videos to your business profile
• Offer various specials or coupons to customers
• Initiate real-time updates or announcements
