Setting up your Google Business Profile properly
Create your own listing. Do not claim the Clyde Offices profile.
Do not claim the Clyde Offices listing. If you search for 48 West George Street, Glasgow, you will find our Google profile. Leave it alone. Do not tap "Own this business", request access, or suggest an edit. That listing is ours, and claiming it will not give you a profile of your own.
Create a separate Google Business Profile in your own business name. Once it is created and verified, it appears on its own in Google Search and on Maps.
- Start a new profile for your business. Do not open the Clyde Offices listing and try to take it over.
- Use your own business name, the name you trade as. Do not use Clyde Offices.
- If you visit customers or work online, set the profile up as a service-area business and hide the street address. Google does not allow a virtual office as a shop-front location. Hiding the address is what keeps a listing from being suspended.
- Finish verification the way Google asks. The video and the help article below walk through the same steps.
Once your profile is created and verified, it will appear separately on Google Search and Maps.
