The Ultimate Guide to Creating Custom Plumber Maps on Google My Maps

Are you a plumber looking to showcase your work or share it with clients? In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of creating custom maps on Google My Maps using a plumber's profile as an example.

Plumber Map Example

Step 1: Create a New Map

To create a new map, navigate to the Google My Maps website ([www.google.com/maps](http://www.google.com/maps)) and click on the "Create a map" button. Choose the type of map you want to create (e.g., route, directions, or satellite view) and click "Next".

Step 2: Add a Profile Picture

To add your plumber's profile picture as a custom marker, follow these steps:
  1. Click on the "Add a place" button in the top right corner of the map.
  2. Pick "My Places" and click "Add an item."
  3. A new window will open where you can upload your plumber's profile picture (e.g., a photo or logo). Select it and save.

Step 3: Customize the Map

To customize your map, click on the "Edit" button next to the marker. You'll have access to various options, such as adding text, drawing shapes, and changing colors.

For this example, let's add a simple title and some basic customization.

To share your custom map with your network or clients, click on the "Share" button next to the marker. You can choose from various sharing options, including adding it to your Google Drive, sharing a link, or embedding it on your website.

For this example, let's add a link to our plumber's YouTube channel.
