Claim and verify your business listing
To claim your business listing, log into the Google account that you want to be associated with your business. Then, go to google.com/business and click “Start now.”
From there, you’ll enter the name of your business and the address. If you work from home and don’t want your address to show up publicly, you can hide it and show the region instead.
Next, choose how you’d like to verify your business: by phone, by email or through instant verification.
