3. Add your social profiles

In the contact section you can find a new field to add your social media URLs. Only the biggest social media icons like Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram are available. 

That is mostly enough to increase trust with your customers and tell Google that you’re a legit business. 

Also, be sure to use the correct URLs of your profiles, otherwise your changes won’t get approved.

Thoughts

Be sure to keep your social profiles up to date before you add them. You don’t want to confuse your customers with irrelevant social profiles or even wrong URLs that lead to 404 errors.
