6. After you have added the address, click on Save and Close and you will have the possibility to proceed to the business location verification on Google side(it may take some time).
You can also close the pop-up and get back to the verification step later(there will be Verify now button for each saved and synced business location).
As soon as your location is verified by Google(you will see the verification process steps while following Google instuctions) your business will appear in search and on Google Maps.

7. When you save the location the following information is passed to Google about your company:
  • business location title;
  • company working hours;
  • company phone number;
  • booking site link;
  • business category(as Google categories differ the best matching one will be found).

Please note, if you have changed some of these details in your SimplyBook.me account you will need to re-save the business location in Google Business feature settings for the details to be updated on Google side.



8. You can also edit your business location details on Google side if necessary. Simply click on Edit on GMB button at the top(appears for saved and synced locations).
