When businesses move, it’s important to update business location in maps so customers can find them. If you’re shifting your business place, here’s a step-by-step guide to ensure your business still shows up correctly on Google and other maps.

1. Change Your Website Details: Start by updating your new address and phone number on your website, especially in the footer, and on pages like “Contact Us” or “About Us.”
2. Update Your Website Code with Schema:  Your website may include Schema Markup, which helps Google understand your business details, including your address. Update this information so your new location is reflected correctly in search.
3. Close the Old Google Listing: If another business used to be at your new place, find its Google listing and mark it as “Closed.” Or,Suggest to the business that used to be at your new address that they should also update their map listings to show their new location.
4. Update Google Business Profile: Change the address in your Google My Business account. Google might ask you to re-verify your Google Business Profile.
5. Edit Other Map Listings: There are many other places online that show your business address. Update all of them, including:
   • Bing Maps
   • Apple Maps
   • MapQuest
   • Waze
   • Uber
   • Lyft
   • Yelp
   • Yellow Pages
   • Facebook (if you’ve listed your address there)

6. Check Special Directories: Some businesses, like doctors or restaurants, might be on special lists. Update your address there too, like on CareDash for doctors or TripAdvisor for eateries.
7. Share Photos of Your New Place: Add pictures of your new place (inside and outside) on your website and wherever your business is listed.
8. Double-Check for Old Addresses: Sometimes, even after you move, your old address might still show up on Google. Keep an eye out for this and make sure it’s corrected.
