How to find your Google business profile ID
0:04
Hey guys, welcome back to the YouTube channel. Today we will be taking a quick look at how you can find your business
0:12
profile ID. So let's get into it. Now to get started, first off you want to go onto google.com and a lot of people wonder
0:20
why do you need your Google business profile ID? A lot of the times to contact customer support, to verify that it's you
0:28
the business owner, the person who has listed the business, you do need to verify or confirm your Google business profile ID number
0:37
And this used to be different. So in the previous version of Google
0:42
if you haven't updated it, it will be different for you guys
0:45
So I will be explaining both of those methods. So first off you want to go onto google.com
0:51
Then from the top right over here, you will have a sign in button
0:55
You want to sign into the email address that you have used to sign up with your business
1:00
So whichever email address you use to create your business listing or your
1:05
Google business, you want to log onto that email ID. Once you have logged onto that, you can click on the top right over here
1:14
And once you do, you will see this icon, which is your business profile manager
1:19
So you just want to click on your business profile manager. This will lead you to this page. Now
1:25
previously in the unupdated version of Google business profile, you would click on your listing and it would have a separate webpage or a
1:35
separate settings page for your business. Now, if you still have that version
1:39
you will just click on the page and then you will click on settings
1:44
And over there you would find your, whenever you would just click on your business
1:48
the URL of your business would actually have the business ID number present
1:52
or you could go into your settings and find it over there. Now this used to be the old way to find your Google business profile ID number
2:01
And it was pretty simple and straightforward. You could find it in your URL
2:05
but now once you have your business email logged into the email that you've
2:10
used to create your business listing, you can see I have two businesses
2:14
Let's say I want the business ID for this salon. So I would just click on my listing over here and this will open up my business
2:22
listing. So once the business listing is opened up on Google, what you want to do is you want to click on these three dots on the top right
2:32
over here. And once you click on these three dots, you want to click on your business profile settings
2:38
Once you click on your business profile settings, you want to click on advanced settings
2:43
And from here you will see your business profile ID and you may be asked for
2:48
this if you contact support. So from here you can copy your ID and wherever you are required
2:54
you can enter it. Now make sure that you have this ID whenever you're looking to report any
2:59
issues or trying to get in contact with customer support because it is required
3:04
for confirmation. Now a lot of people need to complete their business listings to get to this
3:11
step at first, you need to verify your business ID. And for that you need to make sure you're inputting the correct address and
3:19
usually get a email and your address to confirm your business ID
3:24
That is one thing you need to make sure that is completed beforehand
3:28
So this is how simple and easy it is to find your Google business profile ID
3:33
Now I have a few more tips and tricks for you guys to improve your Google
3:37
business listings. First off is to make sure you are including reviews and you can ask for your
3:45
customers to include reviews and make sure all of the information, the business information, so your business category, descriptions
3:54
opening date, contact information, and especially a website link. If you have one
3:59
you can create all of those things very easily with a few of my videos that I
4:04
have uploaded on this YouTube channel. So we have all those sections in detail
4:09
And one more thing that people often skip is the amenities that you have
4:15
So you can click on accept over here and you can click on, you know
4:21
the basic kind of wifi, you have free wifi, you can add that and then you can add your crowds as well
4:26
Crowd can be a little difficult to add, but I think that it's a good field to add and you also want to add your
4:34
services. This is something people often forget. So if I go onto Jane's Lash Studio and I take a look at this Lash Bar and I'm
4:44
like, Oh, what is this? Maybe I want this specific service. Would they provide it? Well
4:49
it's very essential that you add all of these services that you have listed
4:55
right over here. So you can click on edit services on your Google listing and you can add the
5:01
different services you are providing. It's better to provide detailed descriptions or, you know
5:06
detailed categorization of all of your services simply because it is a lot
5:12
easier for your customers to navigate through those services and to be able to
5:17
find you, uh, and you know, uh, decide whether or not it would be worthwhile because I might be like, Oh
5:24
maybe they don't do hair styling in the salon because it's the Lash Salon
5:29
Well, they actually might do it and you might lose a potential customer
5:33
So that is something to keep in mind in your Google listing as well. Plus
5:37
uh, the overall Google listing should be very accurate. You want to make sure you've added your own photos. Uh
5:43
you can click photos by yourself from your phone. It doesn't really matter. They should just be very clear and nice photos
5:49
You want to make sure to upload them. Now, another very important thing is to enable bookings
5:54
You can enable bookings on Google if you want to, but if you want
5:59
you can also use something like Calendly or any other third party booking app to
6:03
create bookings if you're a salon or a clinic. And another great thing that you need to do is you want to optimize with chat
6:12
GPT. So what do I mean with that? Now, a lot of businesses are writing, you know
6:17
if you're a small business owner and you have a Google listing, your listing might get drowned out by other more popular businesses or larger corporations
6:26
And you can use chat GPT to optimize your listing for search engines
6:32
Now a great extension to do this is you go onto Google and you can just go onto
6:38
the Chrome web store, which is going to search for the Chrome web store
6:42
You're going to open it up and then you're going to search for AI PRM and it's
6:46
called AI PRM for chat GPT. And you will just add this to Google Chrome
6:51
add this extension. Once this extension has been added, it will log on to chat GPT. You will continue all its permissions
6:59
And once it has been opened up in chat GPT, you can actually have a local SEO master plan generator
7:07
So all you have to do is you will add your business name and your business location
7:12
And this is amazing for Google business because you're trying to target your
7:16
local audience. You want the local people to be able to visit you as frequently as possible
7:22
So what I like to do is I'm just going to add my listing over here
7:27
paste it, and then I will just add my location like this
7:32
and I will just enter it. And then chat GPT will generate me a local SEO optimized strategy for my
7:38
business. You can claim and verify Google, Google business profile, relevant sites, optimize your website
7:45
And then it will give me the long tail search keywords that I should be adding
7:51
in my website descriptions in my business descriptions for my website, for my Google listing
7:57
And you want to include these amazing descriptions into your actual Google
8:01
business listing. You don't have to only do this for your website. You can add them in your Google listing and this will help you to be able to
8:08
this will help your listing in ranking higher. Plus you can see you have list 15 plus services using these keywords in your
8:16
Google business profile. So now I can just add these to my Google business listing to further optimize my
8:23
business listing of my business. So that is how simple and easy it is to find your Google business profile ID and
