How Do I Change My Business Name on Google Maps?

Google My Business is now referred to as Google Business Profile as Google migrates services to Maps and Search.

Changing your company’s name in Google My Business could be necessary for a number of reasons. One possibility is buying an existing company and making it your own. Perhaps a placeholder name was used when you first claimed your Google Maps page. In any case, a potential customer’s initial online encounter with your company should feature an accurate name and up-to-date visuals.

Google Maps makes it easy to update your company name.

Here are the measures you need to take to rebrand your My Business account.

4. A blue box will appear on your screen…
