How to Setup a Google Plus My Business Account

Before you can create a Google+ My Business Account, you need to have a personal profile. If you have one you’d like to link to your account, go ahead and sign in to that account first. If you don’t already have a personal account, create one first.

Once you’ve done that, you’re ready to proceed.

Step 1 Create a Page

To start, visit Create a Page on Google+. Once there, you'll have to choose between five main categories for your business.

Local Business or Place Product or Brand Company, Institution, or Organization Arts, Entertainment, or Sports Other

After selecting the category that best fits your business, follow the instructions on the subsequent pages, and enter your business's information. If your business is already located on the web, Google may present you with the option to auto-fill it. However, double check to make sure it's accurate before submitting.

Step 2 Create Your Public Profile

Here, you’ll be asked to fill in information about your business, including writing a short description and adding a photo. You can add your company logo or a personal photo of the person in charge if you want. Just remember, this image will be the face of the company.

Here, you’ll also have options for adding videos, creating blog posts, and adding other elements to give your company a more unique look. Play around with the features until youre satisfied.

Step 3 Socializing

After completing the profile, youll want to start following other people and/or businesses. You can connect with fellow employees or people with whom you work. Use this to engage with your customers (or fans, or followers) and release information.

Make sure to link your business account to your website and other social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter.
