If you own or manage a local business, a business with a physical store front or a local service area, the new Google My Business app will help you control your business’s Google Maps listing!

Here’s Google’s hype video on the newly updated app:

Key Google My Business App Features

  • Ensure business info is accurate (address and/or service area, phone number, hours, map pin location and more)
  • Add photos
  • Be alerted to, and respond to reviews
  • Answer questions
  • Post offers and announcements
  • Get performance metrics
