One of the most effective ways to make your business visible in the digital world is to create a Google Business Profile. Having your business appear when potential customers search on Google or use Google Maps significantly increases your local traffic.

In this guide, we will explain in detail how to register your business on Google, how long the registration process takes, and important points to consider. You will also learn how to protect yourself against scam attempts made in the name of Google.

How to Add My Company to Maps?

To add your business to Google Maps, go to business.google.com. Log in with your Google account and click 'Add business'. Fill in your business name, category, physical address, and contact information accurately.

Google then starts a verification process (usually via postcard) to confirm the business belongs to you. After entering the code received in the mail, your business becomes visible on Maps. In some cases, phone or email verification may also be available.

Beware of "Your Listing is Being Deleted" Calls!

Yes, this is definitely a scam attempt. Google never calls businesses directly to warn that "your listing will be deleted" or to demand payment for updates. Do not trust callers identifying themselves as "Google Area Managers" or "Map Verification Centers."

These harassing calls can be frustrating. If you are constantly disturbed by such calls, you can get professional support from us to secure your profile, complete your verifications, and stop these fake calls. We can protect your business from scammers while moving you to the top of local searches.
