Google my Business is a free tool offered by Google to help you manage how your business appears in Google Search results and on Google Maps.
Using Google my Business allows you to add your business name, location, and the hours that you trade. You can also monitor reviews, add pictures of your business, post offers and learn how people are searching for you.
