Boost Your Local Presence with Google Business and Map Listings

Did you know that 46% of searches have local intent?

We know big box retailers are very hard to compete against. But, if you are a local business, there is a huge opportunity to tap into new customers who are specifically looking for a local solution.

Google My Business (formerly Google+ and Google Places) is an excellent starting place to establish your local presence and attract local search traffic. The competition here can also be fierce as many businesses are competing for the same #1 map or search listing as you. That’s why we offer Google My Business services, so your local listing can effectively compete for those coveted top placements.

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.
