Includes:

And, importantly:



The Google My Business (GMB) Advertiser Community

Firstly: you can ignore the word 'Advertiser' in the title; it for everyone, regardless of whether you are currently engaged in PPC. This is an active member's community and forum. Frequented by users and Google staffers alike. As with any forum, you should not act on any advice unless you can verify the source (again - speak to us if in any doubt).

Covering important topics such as:

• Basics for Business Owners
• Claiming your GMB page
• Getting your business verified

We hope this helps. But it is only intended as a brief guide. Karen and her team at HelpHound client services are always there to provide you with specific advice.
