Google My Business profile is the most important part of online visibility for any business, especially for those who want to drive customers to their store and get orders from the call. Google My Business profile has provided a snippet where we can add our business information. There was no option to add your social media profile links.
Recently, Google has announced support for other social media links in the Google My Business snippet to show on Google Search results.
Old Method
Previously, Google showed some of the social profiles on the business search in the snippet. Sometimes, it shows one, sometimes two. There was no clarity about this. To tell Google about our social media links, we have to create a Schema. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
What Changed
Now, You can add your social media link directly in the contact section of Google My Business.
You can add one of each of the following social media links to your Business Profile:
- TikTok
- X (formerly known as Twitter)
- YouTube
