What could possibly replace the thing that stores my reviews, gives directions to my business, tells everyone my hours, and gets me most of my customers? It’s Google Maps.

Many of you probably got the email from Google recently informing you that your beloved Google My Business page would be replaced with the Google Maps app. It looked something like this…

What does this mean for you? If you have a small business you will soon be managing your page in the Maps app while “larger” businesses with multiple locations will still use the Google My Business.

The changes are planned to roll out through 2022 so keep an eye out.
