In an update on November 4, 2021, Google told us that the Google My Business app would be shutting down sometime in 2022. It will be relaunched as Google Business Profile.

[{"selector":"#anim-2de3bba6-8a23-48c0-a1f9-3f454e268f3c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-972b160d-b0be-48b7-a8b1-abe0c946bcc3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-50a4cfb2-bbca-4dfd-9fdc-9f529a209d92","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -122.94883%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Now Google has changed the name of Google My Business. It will now be known as Google Business Profile.

[{"selector":"#anim-6ea5667d-897b-48ed-b4f6-520135bae579","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-829fe00a-26e2-4d41-bd16-3ed4d7a59d3d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(116.61342%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-57f2e8f1-91a7-4ba0-8937-3e3154a58903 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Now Google is emailing users of the app notifying them that "the Google My Business app is being replaced."

[{"selector":"#anim-113097bb-86da-4dfe-a19f-a50b6ebe232a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a57d080-ad84-4b2a-a155-64a9c924b891","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 133.73194%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-585a40fe-0b74-4a4c-a681-8fae552a7618 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Google said they want businesses with one listing to manage their listing in Google Search and/or on Google Maps.

[{"selector":"#anim-be1b1081-5149-497d-b79e-dda72b97d707","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9a69c292-5bd0-4779-9aec-325acc50369d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.72026%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8dc33e31-735d-4a57-8bcd-08a17f544a1f","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a291cf1-e18c-49c7-9a51-d06a8a907a46","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-728534db-f234-48e5-a2e1-bed3511e8d40","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a557a018-0418-4d1d-a0ab-231df290f9da","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.06409%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Google had already told that in 2022 they will shut down the Google My Business app and bring a new update to it.

[{"selector":"#anim-0a7ee975-4e3b-4b37-986e-a7cd9955212a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-556ed42e-af5d-43ef-bccf-58c7de210498","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 135.52566%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-58f26e3e-7e02-4d7d-9396-23bd59a442e5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.241477158901287%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Google believes the addition of the Google My Business App will enable small businesses to take advantage of the upgraded merchant experience on Google Maps and Search

[{"selector":"#anim-7d37eb51-41ad-45cc-afc5-28d23b805516 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.241477158901287%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2922573b-24d6-4db9-80d7-d5444f975a86","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e632f98c-b097-45bc-9b20-452e55fa73ca","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 117.28768%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

now you can claim and verify your business directly in the search results without doing so in the Google Business Profile manager.

[{"selector":"#anim-f86c3e9e-afb3-4608-a66b-164f12707276","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-79c00555-53ef-4a8c-b917-8b939764f5d6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -134.83484%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6d826122-deba-4144-a8c0-e23ae66d0d0c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.299866907804912%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Google said that now the name of Google My Business API will be changed to Business Profile API. but will fully retain its current functionality

[{"selector":"#anim-5edd14c5-69ec-4c15-844e-02948cd15525","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fd89c58a-51a6-4045-ad36-984955e8c4eb","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 130.20161%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":500,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-75b0872b-aa21-4158-ac66-badaeb84406c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-14.843749786673241%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

you can easily claim and verify your Business Profile directly from Google products you already use.
