6 easy steps to supercharge your tax accounting practice on Google maps;

1. Add your practice to Google My Business.
   • Visit Google My Business. Sign in or create an account. Add your business name and address.
     
     • If your business already exists on Google maps, you can claim the business.
     • If not, you can follow Google’s easy steps to add your business.
       
       Google will send you a postcard with a verification code to validate your address. It is important to verify your business to fully display your listing on Google.
       
2. Once added, navigate to the info section from the left side menu.
   
   Add multiple categories that apply to your practice, e.g. accountant, tax advisor. These categories are indexable by Google and will help your practice show up in Google search results.
