2. Enter Business Address
After that enter the complete address of the business. Potential Google My Business users will also be asked to place business location markers on Google Maps to make it easier for consumers to visit business locations for business people.

If the business does not have a physical location, but operates in a service area, you can list a service area instead. When finished, click next.

3. Enter the Business Category
Determine the category that best fits the chosen business. For example managing a restaurant in Lampung, then select the category 'Restaurant'.

This category is to make it easier for Google to group businesses by category. So, if someone searches for 'Restaurants in Lampung' on Google, information about that business will appear in the search results.

4. Enter Contact Details
Enter the contact details that you want to show customers. This contact data can be a telephone number or cellphone that can be contacted.

Businesses will also be asked to enter the URL of the registered business site. If you don't have one, you can click the 'I don't need a site' option. But, if you want to create a free site, Google will provide the services.

5. Select Verification Options
Verification is important to prevent irresponsible parties from misusing information related to your business. In addition, businesses that have been verified are also considered businesses with a good reputation than those that are not.

Wait for the letter from Google to arrive at the address you entered. Please note that during the verification process you cannot edit the information that was previously written.
