In this guide, I will show what are attributes and how to add them to your Google My Business Profile, and the step by step screenshots.

What are Google My Business Attributes?

On Google My Business, you can select various attributes to let customers know details about your business, such as whether it is “veteran owned” or “woman lead” and “wheelchair accessible” or with “Free WIFI”.

They describe features of your business for customers in a few words and, hopefully, help customers decide whether your business is what they are looking for.

Attributes’ availability depends on which country your business is located in and the categories you chose. For example, you might find attribute options for Payments, Health & Safety, Service options.

You will find them in the “Info” section, under the “From the business” field (previously it was called Highlights).
