What is Google My Business?
Google My Business is Google’s answer to local search. It’s a map with business listed on it and underneath it.
It pops up when people search for restaurants, lawyers, laptops, cranes.
This happens quite often and you need to pop your business on Google My Business by signing up for a free account.
Google My Business (GMB) isn’t for all types of business. You need to have a physical location – and Google will send a letter to that location as a means of verification.
Who should get an account?

- local business website,
