The first piece of advice many experts give to small businesses looking to improve their search engine ranking is to set up a Google My Business listing.<\/p>\n

Google My Business<\/a> is Google\u2019s listing service. It allows companies to verify their name, address and phone number, get listed on Google Maps and manage Google reviews. Many companies find this has a positive impact on their search engine optimization (SEO).<\/p>\n

But what if you don\u2019t have a storefront? Can you still claim your Google My Business profile?<\/p>\n

Yes, you can! Many business owners may not be aware of it, but Google offers the option of setting a service area on your company profile. So, if you own a home-based business, you can still list your company on Google and gain the same SEO benefits.<\/p>\n

Follow these steps to take advantage of this option:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Sign into your profile and click \u201cmanage location.\u201d<\/li>\n
  2. Go to \u201cinfo\u201d at the top of the page, and click the address section.<\/li>\n
  3. In the address window, check yes on \u201cI deliver goods and services to my customers at their locations.\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. You\u2019ll then be prompted to enter your service area, and your street address will be hidden from the public.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    One note: Do NOT select the \u201c\u201cI serve customers at my business address\u201d option if you want to keep your address private.<\/p>\n
