Important: You can no longer create or edit short names. Short names and URLs that already exist will still work.

When you share your short name, customers can enter the name’s URL in the browser’s address bar to go directly to your Business Profile. For example, customers can search for g.page/[yourcustomname]in the address bar to find your business.
