Step 1: Claim Your Business Listing
To start creating and managing your custom Google My Business listing, first claim it by clicking on the "Claim this business" button in the top right corner of any Google Map location page. This will prompt a verification process that confirms your business ownership.
After successful verification, you can add your business hours, address, and phone number to the listing. You can also edit your listing's title, description, and categories to better represent your business.
