For the occasion of International Small Business Week, the search giant kicks off its second annual International Small Business Week, a company event that promises to help business owners take greater advantage of Google Search, Maps, Ads, and YouTube.
Here’s a quick gist of what we learned;
Create Posts directly from Google Search
When people search for your business on Google, it’s important to show up-to-date information and the details that make your business stand out — like what services you offer and when you’re open. You can add details, such as contact information and opening hours, and create Posts to share updates, like special offers or new offerings, right from Google Search. Starting next week, Google will let you create Posts about upcoming events including when and where they’re happening — whether you’re throwing a reopening party or hosting an online tasting.

Enable online bookings
To make these updates to your Business Profile, start by logging into the Google account associated with your business. From there you can type the name of your business or ‘my business’ into Google Search or tap your profile picture followed by ‘Your Business Profile’ on Google Maps. ‘Edit profile’ menu on Search to easily update the services you offer and, if applicable, the local areas you service. You can now enable online bookings through your Business Profile — right from Google Search by signing up as a Reserve with Google partner.
Accept orders with Google
Order with Google lets food businesses accept orders for takeout and delivery directly through their Business Profile on Google Search and Maps. This makes it easier for you to reach new customers and turn searches on Google into orders.
