My Google Listing

10 of 265 of us are set up

Let this room review you.

When you are speaking, everybody's phone can show a leave a review button for your business — but only if we know where you live on Google.

This takes about a minute and you only ever do it once.

Step 1 — get your link

The easy way. On your phone, search Google for your own business name. If your business comes up with a map and reviews, tap Share and then Copy link. That is all we need.

OPEN GOOGLE AND LOOK MYSELF UP

Nothing came up? Then you probably do not have a listing yet — see Step 3. It is free.

Step 2 — paste it here

Who are you?

Your Google link

A g.page link, a maps.app.goo.gl link, or a ChIJ… ID all work. Paste whatever you have.

Step 3 — no listing yet?

Then this is the most valuable ten minutes you will spend on your business this month. It is free, and it is how people find you on Google Maps.

1

Go to business.google.com and sign in with your normal Google account.

2

Type your business name. If Google already has it, claim it. If not, create it.

3

Add what you do, your phone number, your hours, and your area. Put a real photo on it.

4

Google verifies you — usually a postcard or a phone call. That part takes a few days.

5

Once it is live, come back here and paste the link.

OPEN GOOGLE BUSINESS PROFILE

Ask Brad or anyone in the room if you get stuck. Somebody here has done it.

Founder → Partner → Member → Visitor → Archived

Visitor

Entry level. Anyone who checks in for the first time. Remains a Visitor until the Founders vote them in — no matter how many meetings they attend.

Requirements:

Check in at a JVPNG meeting

Obligations:

Complete profile: company, phone, and email (all required fields)
Sit for a one-on-one / interview with each Founder
Purchase a JVPNG member badge (required before promotion vote)
Timed spotlight (shared time with other timed speakers)

Member

Full member. Granted by Founder vote after the Visitor has met every eligibility requirement AND won the Founders over in interviews.

Eligibility (checklist — does NOT promote you):

Attend at least 4 meetings (eligibility threshold — does NOT promote)
Profile 100% complete (company, phone, email)
Receive a check-off from EACH Founder individually
Purchase a JVPNG member badge

Promotion (how you actually become a Member):

All of the above eligibility requirements met
Formal vote by the Founders to promote — this is the moment the Visitor becomes a Member
Decision is based on Founder feeling from interviews and one-on-ones; eligibility alone does NOT earn promotion

Partner

Leadership level. All Member rights plus superpowers.

Requirements:

Invitation and consensus of existing Partners

Partner Superpowers:

No timer on spotlight — unlimited time
Always in the queue — no check-in required
Can run the Conductor and manage meeting flow
Priority placement — first in the spotlight queue

How Promotion Actually Works

Meeting the checklist makes a Visitor ELIGIBLE for review — it does NOT promote them. Promotion is a deliberate, manual decision made by the Founders based on their feeling from interviews and one-on-ones. "Eligible" and "promoted" are not the same thing.

Dormancy Rules

Miss 28 consecutive days and you're automatically archived. Partners are exempt.

If you come back, it's a full reset:

Status → Visitor
Meeting count → 1
One-on-one completions → reset
Badge ordered → reset
Email sequence → restarted
