CREATE SHORT GBP NAMES & URL for your business

If you manage a verified GBP, you can create a short name, or a custom name, for your Business Profile to make it easier for customers to find you.
When you share your short name, customers can enter the short name URL in the browser’s address bar, like “g.page/[yourcustomname],” to go directly to your Business Profile.
Note: For bulk users, short names have to be claimed individually per listing.
This feature is available for most merchants and business categories.

HOW TO CREATE A SHORT GBP NAME

Your selected short name should be associated with your business name or the name by which people commonly refer to your business. We recommend including your location to make the short name more distinct. For example, you can use your business name with your location, like your city or neighbourhood.
Keep your short name simple so you can easily promote it, and customers can remember it. If you have a short name, you’ll get a short URL to request reviews from your customers. Learn more about short URLs for reviews.

WHAT SHOWS ON GOOGLE BUSINESS PROFILE?

Once you have your Google Business Profile marketing pin on Google Maps, or if you’re too busy, SEO Perth can, for a small help fee, add the following content to show in your Google Business Profile pin:
