Getting Started

First, search for “Google My Business” or “Google Business Profile” on Google. If you have access to the account you want to edit, you should see a section called “Your businesses on Google,” which is only visible to managers. Here, you’ll find an option to view your profile.

Step-by-Step Guide to Editing Your Profile

  1. Accessing Your Profile:

    • Once you’re signed in to Google and on the Google Business Profile page, click on “View Profile.” This will take you to the profile management interface.
  2. Editing Your Profile Information:

    • Click on “Edit Profile.” A popup window will appear showing various sections you can edit, including:
      • About
      • Contact Information
      • Location
      • Hours
  3. Updating Business Information:

    • Business Name: You can change your business name and save the changes instantly.
    • Business Category: This is crucial for SEO (Search Engine Optimization). By selecting the appropriate category, you ensure that your business is optimized for relevant searches on the web. You can add multiple categories, but remember that the first one you choose will be the primary category displayed on your profile.
  4. Editing Business Description:

    • You have up to 750 characters to describe your business. This description helps potential customers understand what you do.
    • AI-Generated Suggestions: Google provides an AI tool to suggest descriptions for you. For example, it might generate a description like this: “Bis Media is a Chicago-area digital marketing agency that propels businesses forward with strategic online marketing campaigns. They specialize in search engine optimization and social media marketing to enhance brand awareness and online visibility.”
    • You can use the AI-suggested description or edit it to suit your preferences. Once satisfied, click “Save.”
