# Add your business

A "business" in ReviewPine is one Google Business Profile, the listing people see on Google Maps and in Google Search. Its reviews power every widget you make for it.

## Before you start

You need your listing's **Google Maps link**. It takes about 20 seconds to get; see [find your Google Maps link](/businesses/find-your-google-maps-link).

You do **not** need to sign in to Google or give us access to your Google account. We only read your public reviews.

## Steps

1. In your account, open **Your Business** and click **Add a business** (or use the prompt on the dashboard).
2. Paste your Google Maps link into the box and click **Find my business**.
3. Check the name we found. If it is right, click **This is my business**.
4. Stay on the progress page for a moment. Your newest reviews usually arrive within a minute or two, then you move straight on to choosing a widget.

The rest of your review history keeps importing in the background. You can safely leave the page at any time; the import carries on and the business appears on **Your Business** when it finishes.

## Which links work

- Short share links such as `maps.app.goo.gl/…`
- Full Google Maps links such as `google.com/maps/place/…`
- A Google **Place ID** (it starts with `ChIJ`)

If your link is not recognised, see [my Google Maps link is not recognised](/troubleshooting/maps-link-not-recognised).

## Good to know

- **Free trial:** your first business starts a 7-day trial. The trial is available once per listing.
- **Paid plans** can add as many businesses as the plan covers; see [plans and pricing](/billing/plans-and-pricing).
- Your business name comes from Google. If you rename your listing on Google, the new name appears after your next [refresh](/businesses/refresh-reviews).
- Adding a business never changes anything on Google.
