To keep your business information on Google accurate and up to date, you can edit your Business Profile on Google . To help potential customers find you and learn more about your business, you can change information like your address, hours, contact info and photos.
If you haven’t already, add or claim your business, then verify your business listing so that it's eligible to appear on Search, Maps and other Google services.
You can also edit your information before you verify your business. The changes can include the name, category, address, hours, phone number and website. After approval, these changes can be published before the business is verified on Google Search and Maps. Some users may still need to verify their business first before editing their information.

Types of edits
The following are some helpful tips for the types of information that you can add or edit on your Business Profile:
We may review your changes for quality before publishing them. Learn more about business information guidelines.
Choose the category that best matches your business. All locations of a business must share a Primary category. Choose a category that's as specific as possible, and representative of your main business. If you enter several categories, the category entered in the first field will be your primary category.
You can choose up to nine more categories. If you have trouble choosing a category for your business, choose one that’s general. Bear in mind:
- Do not use categories solely as keywords or to describe attributes of your business.
- Don't use categories that match other nearby or related businesses, such as a business that’s located inside your business’s physical location, or an entity that contains your business.
Learn more about business categories.
Enter the complete and exact address for your business location. Learn more about address entry guidelines. If you don't serve customers at your business address, leave the address field blank.
If you change your address after you request a verification letter, you have to verify your business again.
If your business serves customers within a specific local area, enter your service area. Listing your service area helps customers know where you'll go to visit or deliver to them.
You can set your service area based on the cities, postcodes or other areas that you serve. Learn about how to set your service area.
Add the hours that your business is open (i.e. the normal customer-facing hours of operation for a typical week). For days when you have unusual hours, like bank holidays or special events, set special hours. Learn more about hours guidelines.
To set hours, follow these steps:

After you update your hours or reopen your business, customers who visit your Business Profile will find a message that confirms your recent update. The update also creates a post that confirms that you made an hours change. This post shows up on the Updates tab of your profile on mobile devices. You can edit the post to give more information about your updated hours. To remove the hours update message and the post, delete the associated post from Google My Business.
Set business hour breaks

Add an opening date to your Business Profile to tell customers when your business first opened, or will open, at its address.
Only the year and month of your opening date are required. You can enter a date up to one year in the future, but it won't show on Google until 90 days before the date.
Use the Menu and Services Editor to keep your menu items or services, along with their prices, accurate. Organise your menu by grouping items or services into sections. When customers find your Business Profile on Google Maps on their mobile devices, they'll see your items under either "Menu" or "Services" because those are available only on mobile apps.
This feature is available to food and drink, health and beauty and service businesses. All businesses in these categories which have existing third-party menus will have access to the Menu or Services Editor.
Also, businesses using structured menus or service lists provided by third-party sources will see empty menu or service editors in their Google My Business dashboard. If there are third-party menu sources, any changes to the Menu, Services or Product Editor will delete them.
Note: The Menu and Services Editor won’t affect the use of the Popular Dishes features.
To check whether your menu or services lists are provided by a third party:
- On your mobile device, open Google Maps
.
- In the search bar, enter your business’ name.
- To confirm whether you have a menu or services list, in your Business Profile, tap Menu.
- On your computer, sign in to Google My Business.
- If you have multiple listings, open the location that you’d like to manage.
- In the menu on the left, click Info.
If the "Menu" or "Services" sections are empty, your current live menu or services list is provided by third-party sources. If there are any changes to the Menu, Services or Product Editor, these lists will be overwritten.
Any check-in and check-out times entered by the business will be viewable on their Business Profile.
To ensure that hotel listings are accurate, Google also collects check-in and check-out information from a variety of trusted sources (e.g. user reports and licensed content). Business owners can choose whether to automatically accept these updates.
