List Your Business In Google Maps For Free

Google offers a free service in its Local Business Center that allows businesses to add their listing to Google Maps.


When potential customers search Maps for local information they will find your business with your address, hours of operation, and coupons to print out. Businesses don’t need a Web site to add their listing to Google Maps.





The Local Business Center allows businesses to edit the content of their existing listing, or add a brand new listing to Google’s local database.


Here’s how to add your business listing:


Visit the Local Business Center.


If you already have a Google Account, sign in with your email and password.
If you don’t have a Google Account, click Sign up for an account now.
Follow the instructions to create a listing.

Google says to remember these points:

The street address you enter will be shown in the Google Maps search results.


If you already have an AdWords login address and password, you can use it to log in to the Local Business Center.


Once you’ve submitted your business information, you’ll need to verify the listing before it goes live. You can verify using a touch-tone phone, SMS, or a PIN that will be sent via regular mail to your business address.


Once the listing is verified, your information will normally appear in our results shortly after it’s verified.


You must be able to receive regular mail at your business address if you are unable to verify by phone or SMS. A post office box can be used to register.


The address you enter in the Google Local Business Center will be the address to which your PIN mailer is sent, and it will also be the address displayed in Google Maps results.


Editing your business listing using the edit link won’t prevent others from changing your business information.


Once you verify your listing with a PIN, only you will be able to edit the information displayed about your business through your Local Business Center Account.
