This manual is a guide to setting up a Google Business profile for local real estate agents.

What is a Google Business Profile?

A Google Business Profile is a free tool provided by Google that helps you get your business found online. The profile makes it easy for customers to see information like your address, contact information, business hours, photos, and more when they search for you.

Check the Google Business profile created in your name

First, check to see if you already have a current Google Business profile.

Type your business name in the Google search bar or Google Maps and see if your business information appears directly in the search results. If you see your business information in the search results, then you already have a Google Business profile.

If you don't have a Google Business profile

If you don't have a Google Business profile, then you need to create one.

To do this, you can create your own profile by signing in with the Google account you use primarily for work, and then going to the Google Business Profile site (https://www.google.com/business/).

What if you're having trouble creating a Google Business profile?

If you find this process difficult, ADJOA can help. Choose one of two ways

  1. Provide your Google account information:
  2. Use remote support:

If you've created a new Google Business profile, or if you already have one

Once you've successfully created your Google Business profile, you'll need to assign ADJOA as an admin account to help you manage it professionally.

It is efficient for ADJOA to be able to access your business profile at any time to perform administrative tasks. It is time-consuming and inefficient for us to have to access your account every time to change settings or log in separately for ad campaigns, so we ask that you log in directly to your Google account and add our official account ([email protected]) as an administrative account.
