That’s why we offer Google My Business services, so your local listing can effectively compete for those coveted top placements.

BENEFITS OF GOOGLE MAPS AND MY BUSINESS

Why You Should Care About Google My Business?

  • Engage with customers on Google for free.

    Any and every business with an address can claim its Google business listing for free – don’t be one of the 66% who haven’t yet! Take advantage of the opportunity to be shown in Google. Why would you leave your listing unclaimed or out of your ownership?

  • Get noticed in Google Search and Maps.

    Google My Business services will help you take control of how your business shows up in Google search and Maps results. Your potential customers should see the most up to date information about your local business.

  • Show off your local business with images and reviews.

    People like to know what they are getting – adding quality images about your local business helps set their expectation and build familiarity. As well, great reviews helps to increase their trust in your brand and likelihood they will choose you.

HOW WE CAN HELP

SEO & Google My Business Services

Google is always adjusting the minor details of what you can and can’t include in your business listing and what is prominently displayed in your listing. The following items have consistently remained among the top items we optimize through our Google My Business services.

Correct Business Information

The basics are often the most important. Is all the information included in your Google My Business account correct – from proper category placement to accurate hours to correct address and phone number? Incorrect information confuses both your customers and Google.

Exciting High Quality Images

Are you showcasing your local business with the best images possible? Google likes to see businesses adding images of their exterior, interior, staff, brand, products, and more. It’s like giving customers an accurate peek into what to expect once they visit you!

Resounding Reviews

Great reviews – one of the most influential decision factors your potential customers are looking for. They are also indicators to Google about your reliability and customer satisfaction. Positive and steady review growth is important for an active and effective local business listing.

Established Local SEO

Over the last several years we have noticed that local businesses that focus on proper SEO strategies also naturally see their Google My Business listing results improve. As with most other things in the industry, doing as many things right as possible leads to the best synergies and results.
