Google launched a very interesting service that allows users to register their businesses on Google Maps.

Technology is getting more and more advanced, and Google is always innovating. Now it’s possible to register your business on Google Maps with exact location, providing data like phone, address, website and other important information.

So anyone who wants to know more about a business can count on this tool.

It’s quite simple. You can register the business name, complete address, phone, website, operating hours, service description and even photos of the establishment.

For businesses, it’s a great opportunity to have online visibility without paying anything. It makes it much easier for customers to find them, keeps information always updated, and even gives credibility for being on Google’s platform.

For those looking for some service, it becomes much easier to find businesses, have reliable information, precise directions to get to the location, and direct contact available.

The process is straightforward: you access Google’s system, fill in the business data, they verify the location and validate the information before publishing on Google Maps.

You’ll need the business legal name, complete address, main phone number, business category, operating hours, and website if you have one. Google does verification by phone or mail to confirm that the business actually exists.

I see this as a revolution for small businesses. Now they can compete with the big ones without having to invest much in marketing. Any local business can have visibility and be found easily.

And with GPS becoming more popular and smartphones starting to appear, this location functionality will become increasingly important. Google Maps is already ahead of Yahoo Maps and MapQuest in this area.

For those who have a business, it’s free and effective digital marketing. For those seeking services, it’s much more convenience and reliable information.

It’s one of those novelties that really changes the game for local commerce. If you have a business and haven’t registered yet, it’s really worth doing this soon.
