FAQs


  • Do I need a Gmail account?
    • It is necessary if you want shared access to the listing - it is not necessary if you want us to fully manage the listing for you.


  • Can service area businesses be claimed?
    • We can only claim GMB listings for businesses who have a storefront. If the business is home-based, as long as there is a sign on the property and customers go to that location for goods and/or services and the address can be publicly displayed on the listing, Google will accept this as a storefront. Google does not allow this service for "internet only " business.


  • What if Google My Business is already claimed?
    • In order to process this service, the Google My Business listings must all be claimable. We cannot process Transfer of Ownerships. If the Business has been claimed by a know entity of the business that is currently an employee or contact of the business that is available, we should not have a problem. If the business has been already claimed buy an unknown entity, we may be able to work with google directly to remedy the situation in some circumstances - give us a call and let's talk about a solution if your listing is not currently under your control.
