Avoid exaggerated claims or guarantees that cannot be supported.

Make sure visitors can reach your business using the information displayed.
Maintain Accurate Business Hours
Update your hours when they change, especially during holidays.

Use appropriate language in business descriptions.
Respect intellectual property and privacy rights.
