Add Place In Google Maps

"Add Place In Google Maps" is a trending search term in Google, so we're going to tell you everything you need to know about it.

When someone searches for "Add place in Google Maps" they are most likely referring to adding their business to the Google Maps website and app, so they have a listing in Google Maps. Luckily, getting your business listed on all Google platforms, like Google Search and Google Maps is pretty straightforward and can be done in just a few minutes.

To "Add place in Google Maps" you first need to create your business profile in Google My Business (aka Google Business Profile). You can do this by going to www.google.com/business. Once you log in using a Google email account you can follow the prompts to create your free business listing. Google uses the same information for your business that you add here for both your Google search listing and listing in Google Maps.

Once you fill out your business's basic information Google will want to verify that you are the rightful owner or manager of the business, so they'll have you follow a verification process. Depending on the type of business you operate, they may call you, set up a video chat, send you a verification postcard in the mail (takes 3-7 days depending on where you are), or in some cases, they may instantly verify your ownership of your Google business profile. The instant Google business profile verification is rare though.

Once your business is verified it will take 1-3 days before your listing in Google Maps appears. Even once it's live, which you can check in the Google Business Profile portal, it still might not show up in many or any search results. This is because you have not built up any authority online or any positive reviews which make Google think you're worth showing.

Aside from "Add place in Google Maps" and "How to add place on Google Maps" you must also ask yourself "How to show up in Google Maps".
