How to Rank in Google Maps: Step 1 (How to Submit to Google Local Business Center)


So you’ve decided submitting your location to Google Local Business Center would be a smart way to increase your visibility in local search. Couldn’t agree with you more.

Confused about where to start? Not to worry. Let’s walk through it, step by step.

  1. Head over to Google Local Business Center. Make sure you have a Google account – that you want your business account to be tied to.
  2. Click “Add New Business”.
  3. Fill out as much as humanly possible:

    4. flyte info

  4. Categories. In Google Local, you can choose up to 5 categories that describe your business. You’ll have choose at least one category, but I would suggest adding 2-3 categories available by Google, then 2-3 of your own:

    5. local business categories

  5. Is your map marker in the right place? If not, fix it!

That’s it for now, boys and girls! Tomorrow we’ll finish the process of submitting your business!

    I wonder who approves the listings, it said “another member” but another member can be a competitor, no wonder why we`d get declined in the first place!
