Connecting to Google My Business - Start Here

Google My Business is a service that helps you manage how your business appears on Google Search and Maps.

For WebPT Local to keep your location data updated, a Google My Business (GMB) profile needs to be created, verified, and connected to the platform. The steps required to connect to your GMD depend on the status of your profile. We have compiled step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process.
