Welcome to this article about creating a custom Google My Maps for your plumbing business. With a custom map, you can showcase your services, highlight customer testimonials, and optimize your online presence.
First, sign in to the Google My Maps website using your business email and password. If you don't have a Google My Maps account, click on "Get started" and follow the registration process.
Once you're signed in, click on the "Add a map" button. Select "Create a custom map" and choose a location for your map (e.g., near your business). You can also upload an image or add a video as background.
Use the "Marker" tool to add custom points to your map, such as addresses, phone numbers, or special event details. You can also use icons to represent different services (e.g., pipes, water shut-off). To create an icon, click on a marker and then select "Edit icon."
Use the "Link" tool to add links to your map, such as phone numbers or website addresses. You can also use "Check-in" and "Check-out" features to allow customers to visit your business in real-time.
To optimize your map for SEO, use relevant keywords in the map title, description, and markers. You can also add a "Business profile" to display on your map. To promote your custom map, share it with customers, partners, or social media channels.
Share your custom Google My Maps on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter. You can also embed the map on your website using a code snippet (refer to the source URL below). This will allow customers to view your map from their devices.
