Content Types: Business Information

Help people discover businesses
When a user searches for a local business, Google can return simple contact information and much more: photos, hours of operation, and reviews. This information comes from business owners and content aggregators like you.

If you own or manage a business, you can promote your business and reach new customers. Local customers are already searching for the products and services you offer. Why not make it easy for them to find you? Use the Local Business Center to create your free business listing and supply business addresses, hours of operation, storefront photos - whatever you most want customers to know about you.

If you aggregate content, you can become a partner by providing us with information like ATM locations or local menus and more. We'll distribute your information and drive traffic back to your site.

Publish business information

If you own or manage a business, use the Local Business Center to create or edit a free Google Maps business listing. Add your hours of operation, photos and more.

If you have dynamic content such as gas prices or daily specials, you can create a Mapplet on Google Maps. Mapplets are mini-applications that put your content in a geospatial context. Users can see exactly where gas costs less, where ATMs are located, or whatever your vital information may be.
