Step 1: Locate Your Google Business Profile
The first step is to locate your Google Business Profile. A quick way to do this is by searching for your business on Google and clicking the link that directs you to your profile. Easy as pie!
Step 2: Access the Management Dashboard
Once you’ve reached your profile, look for the “Manage Now” button. Clicking this will take you to your management dashboard. It’s important to note that you need to be a manager or have access to the account to proceed. The dashboard is where all the magic begins.
Step 3: Add Your Event
Within the dashboard, search for the option labeled “Add Update.” This is crucial because the event you’re about to create will be posted as an update to your Google Business Page. After finding the “Add Update” option, click on “Add Event” – this is usually the third option.
This section is designed to let customers know about the events you are hosting. It’s here that the real fun starts.
Step 4: Customize Your Event
Now, for the exciting part – customizing your event details:
-
Select a Photo: Choose a captivating photo for your event. A visually appealing image can significantly increase interest.
-
Event Title: Enter a compelling title for your event. For example, “Google Business Profile Tutorial.”
-
Dates and Times: Specify the start date and time, and end date and time for your event. These details help potential attendees plan accordingly.
-
Event Details: Provide a brief description or details about your event. This could be something like, “Join us for an informative tutorial!”
-
Call to Action Buttons: Utilize call-to-action buttons such as ‘Book’, ‘Order Online’, ‘Buy’, ‘Learn More’, or ‘Sign Up’. These buttons encourage potential attendees to take action, whether it’s booking tickets or learning more about the event. You can link these buttons to platforms like Eventbrite, where tickets can be purchased or reservations made.
Step 5: Preview and Post Your Event
Before finalizing, preview your event to ensure all details are correct and appealing. This feature allows you to see everything you’ve inputted, from the event title to the specific details and chosen call-to-action. Once satisfied, hit “Post” to share your event with the world. Remember, posts are initially pending and will be published upon review to ensure they meet Google’s standards.
What If You Need to Edit or Delete Your Event?
Don’t worry if you make a mistake or need to change something. You have the option to edit or delete your update if necessary. This flexibility allows you to keep your event information accurate and up-to-date.
