Google My Business

(Formerly Google Places) A product that lets you create and manage free business listings in Google Maps so that people can see your business when doing a local search.

• Google My Business allows you to create and verify your local business on Google, so your business information can be shown in Google Maps. With Google My Business, you can also add business information that can appear on Google.com, Google Maps, and Google Earth when someone searches for your business name or category.
• You can show business locations in your AdWords ads by using location extensions. Location extensions display your business name, address, and phone number with your ad to help customers connect with your local business.
• Businesses without a website can verify their business with Google My Business and advertise with AdWords Express, our advertising product without daily ad management.
