Here’s how to add your business listing to Google:

(1) Create a Google account. A nice one to use is their free email service, Gmail. You can sign up for this at mail.google.com

(2) Next, go to maps.google.com

(3) Click on the link that says “put your business on Google Maps” — it’s located on the left side, once the page loads.

(4) On the next page, click on “Add new listing” or “Add new business”

(5) Enter your business information on the form. You can choose which info you’d like to include in your listing: name, address, phone number, website, and a short description of your business (200 words max). You can even have the option of adding photos later on, if you really want to stand out. (see step 7).

(6) Google will check if your business info already exists in their database. If it doesn’t then click on “add listing”

(7) You can now be more specific with your business listing, such as the hours you operate, the payment methods you accept, and other options. When you’re done with that, click on the “Submit” button.

(8) Next step is to verify your business. They give you 2 options — by postcard or by phone. Pick the phone option, it’s the faster one, unless you want to wait for snail mail.

(9) That’s pretty much it!

First, open Notepad (or a text editor) to create a file and name it “.htaccess”

Upload this .htaccess file into the root directory of your server (where your site resides).

Cut and paste the code below into the .htaccess file:

#set max upload file size
php_value upload_max_filesize xxM

#set max post size
php_value post_max_size xxM

Change the “xx” variable to a number that meets your requirements. For example, my latest client needed me to import a 28MB XML file, so I just went ahead and changed the “xx” variable to 48. I was then able to import the WordPress XML file successfully.

Here’s what the final .htaccess file looks like:

#set max upload file size
php_value upload_max_filesize 48M

#set max post size
php_value post_max_size 48M

Hope this solution works out for you!
