How to set up Google Business and Bing Places

How-to brief: claim GBP and Bing Places with matching NAP, hours, categories, and website — no invented reviews.

Direct answer

Set up Google Business Profile and Bing Places by claiming or creating each listing with identical legal/DBA name, street address, phone, hours, categories, and website — then verify ownership and keep categories honest. Invite real reviews only after the listing is live.

Step 1 — Write the NAP kit once (street, city, state, ZIP, phone, HTTPS website, hours).

Step 2 — Claim Google Business; pick categories that match services you actually sell.

Step 3 — Create or claim Bing Places with the same NAP and hours (Sunday closed if you are closed).

Step 4 — Add the public Maps/Places URLs to your site sameAs only when they resolve publicly.

Electronically Enhanced LLC documents EE’s own live listings on /geo/citations and can set up client listings via /services/local-listings.
