Creating A Google My Business Account Without A Specific Location – Trustist Customer Reviews

A Google My Business (GMB) account is a tool for businesses to create a presence for themselves in Google Maps. A GMB listing is vital if you want to be found locally when people are searching for your services.

Many businesses who offer local services, such as holiday clubs or swimming classes, operate from a range of addresses. Others such as mobile car mechanics work wherever they are needed in a local area. Lots of these businesses don’t create a GMB account either because they don’t want their home address visible in Google, or because they don’t know which of the addresses they operate from to choose. This can become an impediment to prospective customers finding these businesses.

Hence, this post details how to create a Google My Business listing without a specific location, while still making it easier for potential local customers to find your business!

Step 1 – Get Started on Your Account

Firstly, visit https://www.google.com/business/ and click ‘Start Now’.

Step 2 – Enter Your Business Name

Enter the name of your business and click ‘Next’. Always include your services in your name too. This will ensure that you appear higher in Google Maps when people search for your services. For example, a kids holiday club in York should be called: ‘[business name] – Kids Holiday Club in York’.
