Adding your business to Google

Do this AFTER your website is live!

1. Go to business.google.com/add
2. Sign in with your Google account. If you don't have one, you can create one at google.com/accounts.
3. Search for your business name. If it appears, it already exists, and you will need to claim it.
4. If it doesn't appear, click "Add your business to Google" to create a new profile.
5. Provide all required information, including your business name, category, address (if applicable), service areas, phone number, and website URL.
6. Follow the prompts to choose a verification method. Options may include phone, postcard by mail, or video verification, depending on your business type. The listing will not be public until verification is complete. The easiest method is postcard - choose that if you're given the option.
7. Once verified, complete your profile by adding your business hours, a detailed description, and photos to help customers find you and learn about your business.

Backing-up the site

Edit a page

3. Click the name of the page you want to edit

Making a mistake editing a page

If you edit a page and you immediately realise that you've made a mistake after you click Save Updates, at the top of the Edit Page screen you will see a yellow bar which contains the word "Undo". Click on that and the changes you made will be undone. NOTE that it will not undo changes you've made to the tagline.

If you realise later that you've made a mistake (for example, after you view the page), in the tabs at the top, click the Backup tab. You should see the name of the page you just saved. Click on the name. Check that the content is correct, and then click the Restore button towards the top right.

Images

You're going to need images for multiple pages. You will need images:

• for the gallery page
• for each product on the shopping page
• optionally, for the testimonials page

Each image needs to be a specific size and format.

You also need to optimise all images as much as possible – that means to reduce the size of the file without losing quality.

If you already have software that you like which can resize, crop, and optimise images, use that. Otherwise, this is a very useful site and is used in the videos - Aspose

Uploading Images

To upload images:

1. Click the File tab
2. Select the appropriate folder - imagesGallery, imagesProducts, or imagesTestimonials
3. To the right click the Choose Files button (in some browsers it's named Browse or Select)
4. Select the file
5. Click the Open button in the dialog box
6. Click the Upload button
