Google Maps is used by a lot of people.  People use it for applications such as Grab, Uber, Navigation software and even for games such as Pokemon Go.

Having your business on Google Maps is a HUGE help in getting customers. It makes it easier for customers to find your store, it helps cars and taxis navigate and at the same time helps people get in contact with you – the store owner.

Customers can also view your business in Google Streetview.  It’s a good way for people to check out what your store looks like from the outside.

Step 2. Simply Fill in your business details! Make sure that it is accurate!

Step 3.  Tell Google where your business is located! Be sure to drag the marker to the correct location of your business!

 

 

Step 4. Confirm your business.

 

Step 5. After you confirm your business you will be sent a VERIFICATION CODE.1  This is an actual PHYSICAL letter that will be mailed via POST OFFICE to the address of your business.  Make sure the address is correct before pressing POST. Or you can opt to recieve a phone call from Google. Make sure your telephone number works!

 

 

After you press post, your Google Map listing will be created.  However it will only be visible to other people after you TYPE in the code that you received after 1-2 weeks.

 

What does the code look like? Well, we have here an example from our very own business.

You will get a letter in the mail!  Yup – The Bacolod Food Hunters went through the whole process so we really know what we’re talking about!

F.A.Q

• What if you discover your business is on Google Maps but you didn’t create the listing?

In that case, simply click on the business in Google Maps and CLAIM the business for your own.  You will still be sent a verification code via post office that you will put in to CLAIM your business. Why should you claim your business? To avoid pranksters who might claim the business for their own – or simply just for you to make adjustments in the listed operating hours, address and pictures.

• My business marker is in the wrong location!

Simply edit your page in Google My Business and drag the marker to the correct location.
