How to Claim Your Restaurant on Google

Google's interface may change over time. The wording or position of some buttons may look slightly different on your account.

1. Step 1

   Search for your restaurant

   On your phone or computer, search Google for the restaurant name plus the city. Open the Maps result or the Business Profile card that matches your restaurant.

   

2. Step 2

   Look for Claim this business

   On the listing, look for Claim this business, Own this business, or a similar ownership option. Use the Google account that should remain the restaurant owner, not a staff member's personal login.

   

3. Step 3

   Sign in with the restaurant account

   Sign in with the Google account you want the restaurant to keep. That account should stay under the restaurant's control after verification. New listings may start from Google's Business Profile page.

   

4. Step 4

   Follow Google's verification process

   Complete the ownership check Google offers for this listing. The available method can vary. Use the restaurant's real address and phone number, and keep the owner account safe until verification finishes.
