Sign up for a Business Profile for a car dealership

To own your dealership Business Profile on Google Search and Maps, you need a Google account to manage your multiple profiles and then you can claim your dealership profile. Before you claim your Business Profile, we suggest that you review your verification options.

You can manage an individual profile on Search and Maps. To manage multiple profiles in bulk at once, you can use Business Profile Manager. If you want to add another profile, on Google Search, select the three-dot menu Add a new Business Profile. 

Multiple Business Profiles for a car dealership

Car dealerships can have multiple Business Profiles on Google.

• All car dealerships can have a profile for the dealership itself and more profiles for their departments, like sales, parts, or services.
• New-car dealerships can also have a profile for each brand of new cars sold.
• Used-car dealerships can't have profiles per brand of cars sold. Used-car brands can change frequently.
