 How to Claim a Business on Google Business Profile:

1. Search for Your Business: Go to [Google Business Profile](https://www.google.com/business/) and search for your business name.

2. Select Your Business: If it appears in the search results, click on it. If not, you can add it by clicking on “Add your business to Google.”

3. Verify Your Business: Google needs to confirm you’re the rightful owner. You’ll often do this by receiving a postcard at the business address with a verification code. Alternatively, some businesses can verify via phone, email, or Google Search Console.
