# How to Claim or Reclaim Your Business on Google (Step-by-Step Guide)

If your business already appears on Google Maps or Google Search, but you don’t own the profile, you can request ownership.

<figure><img src="/files/8yNMfzqXQV8Z10v7dteK" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

#### 5. Wait for a Response

* The current profile owner has **7 days** to respond.
* If they **approve** → you’ll get access.
* If they **deny** → you can appeal to Google with proof you own the business.
* If there’s **no response** → you may get ownership automatically after 7 days.

***

#### 6. Verify Your Business

Even after gaining access, Google may still ask you to verify using:

* Phone
* Email
* Video verification
* Postcard mailed to your address

***

### Tips for a Smooth Claim

* Don’t create a duplicate profile — it can confuse customers.
* Have proof ready (business license, utility bills, photos of signage, lease agreement).
* If an old owner controls the profile, ask them to transfer ownership.
* If you get stuck, use **Google Business Support** or contact Bukkii Team to get help.

***

### Final Thoughts

Claiming your Google Business Profile ensures you control how your business appears online. Once you have access, you can update details, post photos, and engage with customers — giving your business the visibility and trust it deserves.
