Own your business on Google – Google My Business

So if you get the gist in principle of Google Search and the gist in principle of it’s link with your Google+ business page from our previous posts, what do you need to do to claim or create your business page?

It’s simple, go to https://www.google.co.uk/business/go/ and register your business.
