How setup works

Guided setup, skipping a step, and your setup checklist.

Guided setup

After you claim your listing, a welcome page shows the steps. Go at your own pace: everything saves as you go, and you can come back any time.

  1. 1The welcome page lists what's ahead: the pledge, the questions about your business, checking what we wrote, then the rest.
