When I start making a Google Local Submission, I first go to Google Maps (or the US Version if you are doing a submission there).
Above I have highlighted the location where you can begin making a submission for Google Local. Once you have clicked on this you have to sign in with an existing Google account (such as you might already use if you write a blog on blogger, or if you use Google Analytics or their Webmaster Tools), or create a new account for this purpose.
I will assume you already have a sign in, or will return to this point once you have created a log-in. Once you have signed in, at the top of the screen, you will be greeted with 2 options.
Option 1 will lead you to create a single submission, and option 2 will give you details on how to use a spreadsheet to submit multiple locations (over 10) at the same time, with the same feed. On this occasion, we will select option 1 and begin submitting our location to Google.
