Requesting Ownership of Your Google My Business
April 27, 2018 In Blog No Comment

 

Do you know if your business is listed on Google My Business?

Jennifer Baker Consulting Ltd. Google My Business Listing

Jennifer Baker Consulting Ltd. Google My Business Listing

Google My Business allows businesses and organizations to create and verify their local business on Google, including photos, logo, Google Street View, address, phone number, description, and hours of operation.

If you’re not sure if your business is utilizing this FREE Google asset, navigate to Google, and type in your business.

Make note of what appears.

Now, Google your business again, but this time with any previous or abbreviated business names.

Many times businesses may have one “official” Google My Business Page and several “unofficial” pages that have been created through other means.  It’s important to be aware of these unofficial pages for the purpose of claiming and removing them. You may have unofficial pages if you’ve ever had a client or customer say: “But Google said you were open on Sundays.”

How do you request ownership and claim these unofficial pages?

Search for your business name here.

Google will walk you through a number of questions, which will depend on the type of listing your requesting.

If the account is owned by someone else (e.g. previous employee) Google will email them and request access on their behalf. If no action is taken, the account will be granted to you!

This is must-do activity for all businesses!

And it’s not because parents are all of a sudden less interested in embarrassing their kids – it’s social media that’s changing the game. From the day children are born, a digital footprint is being created for them by parents. From birth announcements, to photos posted only minutes after coming into the world, this generation, as well as subsequent generations, are having their lives documented for all to see in an unprecedented manner. One spouse actually used Facebook to livestream the birth of his child, with consent from the mother. In some cases, families are even making millions of dollars off of ‘sponsored content’ from not even old enough to count to 10. Is this right or wrong?
