Article also available in:English (United States)
The "From the Business" section is a chance for business owners who have claimed their page to include additional information about the business rather than just the standard contact information. Please read the guidelines below before submitting "From the Business" information.
These guidelines apply to all of the fields in the “From the Business Section” and emphasize what to avoid. If any of your submissions contain any of the following, they will be rejected. You can also review our more general Business Owner Guidelines (scroll to the bottom).
Avoid:
Lists of keywordsProviding a list of excessive or repetitive keywords for your business (e.g. "carpet cleaning, carpet shampooing, rug cleaning").Excessive or unusual formattingUsing excessive punctuation, capital letters or other special characters (e.g. "Come visit us!!!!!!", "CHECK US OUT!", "*** BEST burgers in town ***").Irrelevant informationProviding contact information that is included elsewhere in your page (such as phone, website, social media handle or email).Solicitation of reviewsAttempting to solicit reviews (e.g. "Write a 5-star review and receive $10 off your next purchase!").

Here you can tell the story of the business - who founded it, where it was started, why, etc. There’s also a specific field in this section for you to enter the year the business was established. Character limit: 1000.(Top of Page)
