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 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 Profile so it's eligible to show up 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 business owners may still need to verify their business first before they edit their information.

Types of edits
The following are some helpful tips for the types of information 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.
Select 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 select several categories, the category in the first field will be your primary category.
You can select up to 9 more categories. If you have trouble choosing a category for your business, choose one that’s general. Keep in mind:
- Do not use categories solely as keywords or to describe attributes of your business.
- Do not use categories that match other nearby or related businesses. For example: A business that’s located inside your business’s physical location, or an entity that contains your business.
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 must verify your business again.
If your business serves customers within a specific local area, enter your service area. When you list your service area, your customers know where you'll go to visit or deliver to them.
You can set your service area based on the cities, postal codes, or other areas that you serve. Learn about how to set your service area.
- To keep your customers up to date, set your business’s main hours or mark it closed.
- To change your hours for holidays or other temporary periods, set Special Hours.
- To change your hours for specific features and services your business offers, set More hours.
- In addition to your primary business phone number, you can enter up to 2 more phone numbers. The numbers must be mobile or landline, not fax.
- You can hide the phone number on your Business Profile.
- Sign in to the Google Account you used to sign up for Business Profile.
- To find your Business Profile, search Google for your exact business name. You can also search for “my business.”
- If needed, to manage your Business Profile, select View profile.
- On your Business Profile, select Edit profile
- Select Advanced settings.
- Under "Phone number,” turn on or off Don't show.
Enter your business’s website. Make sure that:
- Googlebot isn't blocked on your site.
- You checked Search Console for any possible penalties to your site.
Depending on your business category, you may see options to add additional links, like online orders, reservations, and appointments.
Attributes tell customers more about your business. For example: "Has Wi-Fi” or "Offers outdoor seating." You can edit certain factual attributes, like outdoor seating. Subjective attributes, like whether your business is popular with locals, rely on the opinions of Google users who have visited your business.
To add or remove attributes available for your business category, click Attributes 
Tip: If you own or manage a healthcare profile, you can edit the following information in Attributes 
- Whether your business offers online care.
- Whether you provide customers a direct method to schedule and receive online care.

Add an opening date to your Business Profile to let customers know when your business first opened or will open.
Google uses various sources to determine how long a business has been in operation. If the merchant believes there’s an error, they can set the correct opening date.
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 up on Google until 90 days before the date.
