Yes, it’s completely free. Similar to the free Google Maps app, where Google My Business listings appear.

To control your listing, you must claim your business by creating a free Google My Business account.
Google strives to bring the physical world online.
Your listing helps Google assist users in finding what they’re searching for more easily.
Google aids you by offering free online visibility, creating a win-win situation.
Google does not charge for business listings; You can have multiple listings under one account free of charge.
The key is to ensure your listing’s accuracy and value.
Google’s aim with Google My Business is to transition the physical world online so consumers can more easily discover and compare businesses that meet their needs and make informed decisions about the products and services they seek.
However, while your listing is free, you’re not entirely free to publish whatever you want on your profile.
Google regulates the content you include in your listing and in Google posts to ensure alignment with its mission.
There are several ways to feature your business on Google for free.
First, you can make your business appear on Google Maps and in Google Search local results by creating a Google My Business profile.
Secondly, you can get your website’s pages to appear in organic search results through SEO practices such as creating quality content, proper keyword placement, and earning quality backlinks to these pages.
Another way to indirectly and freely advertise your business on Google is by creating listings on popular directories like Yelp, Angie’s List, TripAdvisor, etc. These directories have high domain authority and are trusted by Google, so your profile page on these sites might appear high up (or even on the first page) of search results, providing you with free visibility and exposure.”

You can use paid advertisements (Google Ads) to make a specific page of your website or landing page appear at the top of search results. Common terms for this type of online advertising include paid search ads, pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, and search engine marketing (SEM). The Google-specific term is Google Ads.
Google Ads operates like an online auction. First, you select keywords you want your specific page (your ad, in this case) to appear at the top for. You also set your budget. Once your Google Ads campaign is set up, you enter the auction.
When someone types in these keywords, Google’s algorithm reviews all the ads that have bid for that query and considers several factors (not just the bid), including the quality of the ad and the experience of the landing page it points to.
These strategies can help businesses and individuals gain significant online exposure without the need for a substantial advertising budget:
