Questions About User Access? Verification?
It’s All in the Guide. Download Today.
100 pages of step-by-step instructions on the most important aspects of starting, managing, verifying, and getting the most out of your Google Business Profile.
GBP is 100% free to use for all small businesses, and the information on how to set it up, get verified (stay verified), and really use it to get the most visibility possible is also 100% free and public. The problem is — that information is (or was) scattered across developer forums, help guides, and YouTube videos.
