In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Hike’s Google Listings Manager, which allows you to edit your Google My Business (GMB) profile within the Hike platform. Watch the video below, or read the summarised points below.

Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough:

Step 1: Access Local Listings Manager

Click on the “Local Listings Manager” tab. If you haven’t linked your GMB profile yet, you’ll need to do so before proceeding.

Step 2: Select GMB Profile

Once your GMB profile is linked, you can switch between multiple profiles using the dropdown menu.

Step 3: Edit Profile and Cover Images

On the left-hand side, you can edit your profile image and optional cover picture. Recommended dimensions are provided.

Step 4: Update Business Name

Enter your business name as it appears on signs, business cards, and legal documents. Avoid adding search terms or taglines.

Step 5: Add Business Phone Number

Enter your business phone number, which will be visible when customers search for your business on Google.

Step 6: Enter Business Address

Input your business address, either for a physical location or a correspondence address for online businesses.

Step 7: Provide Website URL

Add your website URL, ensuring it includes “https://” or “http://”.

Step 8: Set Categories

Choose a primary business category for your business industry and add up to nine additional categories.

Step 9: Input Opening Hours

Enter your business opening hours and update them as needed, such as during holidays.

Step 10: Write a Business Description

Write a detailed description of your business, keeping in mind that only the first 244 characters will be displayed on the Google listing unless users click “more.” Ensure it’s professional and properly formatted.

Step 11: Preview and Save

Review your GMB profile within the platform. Changes are saved automatically.

Step 12: Manage Locations

Add, connect, or remove GMB profiles for different locations as needed.
