Google My Business is a cost-free tool designed to assist businesses in managing their online presence through the Google platform. You can understand a Google My Business as a mixture of an online directory listing and a social media profile.

With regard to an online directory, the owners of businesses design and claim ownership of their Google My Business listing and provide it with important details such as hours, location and images.

With regard to social media platforms, the owners of businesses can put out posts to their Google My Business profile. Like social media stories, these posts are temporary - they remove after one week. Besides, customers can post images of your business to your listing without writing a review.

There exist three types of photos that you can post to your business listing:

  • Logo - Help your customers identify your business on Google. For businesses that possess their basic data including phone numbers, location or hours, the Business Profile will make the logo outstanding.
  • Cover photo - Add a cover photo to the top of the profile that can best describe your business. In some circumstances, this action does not ensure that the cover photo shows up as the first photo for your business.
  • Additional photos - Upload multiple photos to emphasize features of your business that can encourage customers to make a purchase.
