Expert Answer

First, make your business listing accurate. Include the proper hours of operation, contact details, and address of the business. Add some high-quality photos to help customers see your products, services, and premises. Keep posting special promotions, events, or new offerings regularly on your profile to engage the audience. Encourage happy customers to leave reviews and respond to reviews so others will know you appreciate customer input. You can leverage your Q&A section by answering frequently asked questions or those that require a little longer of an answer. Keeping your Google My Business profile complete, up-to-date, and engaging will promote your business and increase your local search visibility.

You need to list your business in Google My Business. Then you need to complete the verification which can be via online video or by post mail and you are set.

Question

Is this available for an online business without a physical location?

Community Answer

Online-only businesses, such as e-commerce stores or digital services that don't involve in-person interactions, are not eligible for a Google Business Profile. Even if you have a registered address, Google requires direct customer interaction to qualify.
