1. Sign in to your Google Account*


  • You'll need a Google account (like Gmail or YouTube) to leave a review.

If you don't have one, it's quick and easy to create one using a valid email address and password. 


*No Gmail Here's How:

Choose to create an account: You'll likely be prompted to sign in. Instead, click on

"Create account".


Opt to use an existing email: When presented with options, choose "Use my current email address instead".


Enter your non-Gmail email and create a password: Provide your existing email address (like Yahoo or Hotmail) and create a password for accessing Google with that account.


Verify your email: Google will send a verification code to the email address you provided. Enter this code to confirm. ( continue below to #2 or watch video)

Google Business reviews are valuable for business owners as they build trust, enhance online visibility, and provide valuable feedback. Positive reviews act as social proof, influencing potential customers and boosting a business's reputation. They also play a role in improving local SEO, leading to higher rankings in search results and increased website traffic.
