Create a Google Business Profile If you haven't already, you need to create a Google Business Profile. This is a quick and easy step that will optimize your online presence and help you get local customers. It's also how you add a local business to Google Maps.

Search for a place on Google Maps At the top, tap the search box and enter an address, name of a place, or choose a category, like gas stations or groceries. Tip: After you find a place on the map, you can check directions to the place in a list, details about a place, or get directions with voice-guided navigation.
