Edit your business information on Google
If your business is a verified listing in Google, then you’ll be able to update it by doing the following:
- Sign in to Google My Business – here – using your Google account (try to use the one you would have signed up with originally)
- Select the “location” by clicking on it
- In the page which then shows up, select “Info” the option third down, and then you should see a page where you can edit any information, by clicking the pencil icon.
To edit the business address
Edit the relevant part – but note, you maybe wish to “transfer” or “close” the location back on the locations page. If you’re adding a new location, do that instead (don’t edit another location – if you have multiple offices or premises, list them each under locations).
Accept Pending Updates
In this page, you should also see in yellow updates Google is suggesting from its own work, or as suggestions for users. If you’d like to accept these, click “accept”. You should then see a message which looks like this:
As it says above… allow 3 days for the new changes to kick in.
If you’re not the verified owner
Note you may first need to “claim” and “verify” your connection to this business, if it is not currently in your Google account. That process may also take a few days.
If you’d like help with that process, leave a comment below with details on where you’re getting stuck, and we’ll update this tutorial to help others like you in future.
