Additionally, listings with pictures receive a lot more clicks and direction requests than listings without pictures because they have accurate pictures available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why It Matters<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Name<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps customers identify your business accurately.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical Address<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Required for Google Maps visibility and verification.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phone Number<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allows customers to contact your business directly.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Website URL<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drives traffic and provides additional business information.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Category<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps Google understand and rank your business correctly.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business Hours<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lets customers know when your business is available.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photos<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase trust and encourage more clicks and direction requests.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Verify_Your_Business_on_Google_Maps\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Verify Your Business on Google Maps<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google will ask you to verify your business after you&#8217;ve created your profile, to ensure that the business is real. Most businesses do verify by postcard sent by mail to the address, but for some, it may be possible to verify by phone or email. This is a critical step in the process of adding a location to Google Maps because unverified listings are not likely to show up in local search or map rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Isnt_Your_Business_Showing_on_Google_Maps\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why Isn&#8217;t Your Business Showing on Google Maps?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have gone through the steps of how to add location to Google Map and still don&#8217;t show up, there are a number of possibilities: You might not have verified your profile, you may not have completed all of the required business information, you may have entered the wrong format for your address, or you may just have a new listing that needs to be indexed.
