As you probably already know, getting reviews for your business is the best way to increase your rankings in Google’s local business center – Google Maps. Surprisingly, one of the most common questions I get is how to submit a review for a business listed in Google Maps. So, I’ve created this video and even written the steps below to assist with that explanation in the future.

Steps for submitting a review for a business listed in Google Maps:

1. Go to www.google.com/maps
2. Type in the name of the business and click on “Search Maps”
3. Locate the business you would like to submit a review for and click on “more info >>”
4. Verify it is the correct business, then scroll down and click on “Write a review” in the center of the page

6. Takes you directly to the review submission form where you can start by filling in a title for your review
