If you operate a business you can add it to Google Maps for free. Each listing includes your address, contact information, hours of operation, payment methods accepted, a link to your web site and you can even upload photographs of your business.
The listing is free however you’ll need to verify that your business address is valid and yours by entering a code you will receive on a postcard sent by mail. International businesses may be verified by phone or SMS text message.
Business listings can take a few weeks to appear on Google Maps so start the process right away!
