According to some researches, only 40% of companies in Croatia have their own website, which means that there is still a lot of room for improving the online presence of companies and trades.
It is not always necessary to invest a lot of money to make your own website. Even a corporate profile on Google can help a company become digitally present and be a useful tool for different types of companies that, in addition to their presence on the Google search engine, allows them to display important information, such as working hours, address, ratings and reviews, and the like.
To open a corporate profile on Google, follow these steps:
- Go to the Google My Business page at https://www.google.com/business/
- Click on the “Start Now” button in the upper right corner of the page
- Sign in to your Google account or create a new one if you don’t have one yet
- Enter your company name and address
- Select a company category
- Enter company information such as hours, phone number, website, etc.
- Confirm your corporate profile through Google verification, which is usually done by sending a postal item to the company address or by making a phone call.
- After verification, review your profile and update it if necessary to make it as informative and useful as possible for your clients.
Once you have created your corporate profile, you can manage and update it through the Google My Business tool. This tool allows you to add new information, update business hours, post news and events, respond to reviews, and more.
