How do I get my business to show up on Google Maps without pulling my hair out

The first thing is to claim your business in Google My Business (now called Google Business Profile) - if a listing already exists, claim it; if not, create one from scratch. Fill in all the information: exact address, phone number, hours, quality photos, and you can add your website right there. Keep your data updated and respond to customer reviews, because Google gives more visibility to businesses that interact with customers. That's the basics and it works.
