Google My Maps is a powerful tool that allows you to create custom maps for your plumbing services or businesses in Melbourne. This article will guide you through the process of creating and using a custom map, making it easier to reach potential clients and promote your services.
Step 1: Create a new Google My Maps account if you don't already have one. Once logged in, click on the "Create" button in the top left corner and select "Add a place". This will open a map with no markers.
Now that your basic map is set up, it's time to customize it. Click on the three dots next to the marker of each business or service you want to add and select "Edit". This will open a new window where you can add additional information such as name, description, address, and phone number.
For plumbing services, consider adding an image of your work, such as pipes or a completed job. You can also add a link to your website or social media profiles for more information.
To create boundaries around your map, click on the "Add boundary" button next to the marker of each business or service you want to isolate. You can choose from various types of boundaries such as roads, water bodies, or even custom shapes.
Once you've added boundaries and labels, your map is now ready for use. To share it with others, click on the "Share" button next to the map and select "Google My Maps". You can then share a link or embed the map directly into your website or social media profiles.
Your custom map is now ready for use. To view it in action, click on the link to Google My Maps provided in the source URL above. This will open a new window where you can see your map and its features.
