How to Create a Business Profile 

Please patronize my works on MIMO VISUALS

1. On your computer, sign in to your Google Account, or create one. 
   • If you create a new Google Account, sign up with your business email domain.
2. Go to create a profile.
3. Enter the name of your business. You may also be able to select your business from the list of suggested businesses as you type. 
   • If you get a message that someone else has already verified the business, request ownership of Business Profile
     
4. Search for your business category.
5. Click Next. 
6. Choose whether you have a location customers can visit.
   • For businesses with a storefront staffed during business hours: Click Yes.
     • You may be asked to enter your business address or position a marker on a map for the location of your businesses. When finished, click Next.
   • For businesses that don't have a storefront staffed during business hours: Click No.
7. Enter the service area of your business.
   • You can set your service area based on the cities, postal codes, or other areas that you serve. You can add up to 20 service areas. 
   • Tip: We recommend you do not extend the boundaries of your overall area farther than 2 hours driving time from where your business is based. For some businesses, it may be appropriate to have a larger service area.
8. Enter a phone number and website URL.
9. Click Next.
   • You also have the option to create a website based on your information.
     
   • Tip: We recommend entering the individual phone number or store page for each location, rather than a remote call center.
10. Click Finish.

    • Tip: We recommend reviewing your information before you request verification.
