A Guide to Using the Google My Business App

The Google My Business app and platform (GMB) is an essential tool for updating your business information on Google, building your online presence, and engaging with existing and potential customers.

For those wondering, “How do I access my Google business account?,” GMB’s full set of features are available on the desktop version. However, busy users can also access and manage their GMB accounts on the go using the Google My Business app for iOS and Android.

How to Set Up Your Google My Business App

Before you start using the GMB app, you must first either claim or create your business listing on Google using the desktop version of GMB. Take the necessary steps to ask, “How do I verify my business on Google?”  

Once you complete these steps, download the Google My Business app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. In the app, log in with the email associated with your Google My Business account.

Once logged in, you’ll be taken to the Home page of the app. Scrolling through the app reveals a list of actions you can take to manage your business information on Google, optimize your listing, and attract new customers.

Meanwhile, tapping the More tab at the bottom of the GMB app shows you options for setting up your notifications, managing users of the account, getting help and support, and customizing the settings. You can also use the More tab to switch between multiple Google My Business accounts.

Additionally, you can use the More tab to get notified of new activity on your Google business listing. To do so:

• Simply tap Settings from the More popup menu, then tap Notifications, to set up custom alerts for activities that matter the most to you.

• Choose the types of alerts you want to receive on your device. The GMB app can send notifications for customer reviews, bookings, payments, photos, listing health, insights, product updates, and posts.
