Google My Business Listing

Have you found yourself fumbling around with non-productive ways to attract customers to your website and through your doors?

Do you long for a highly effective way to not only attract website visitors but also increase your search rankings?

Creating a Google My Business listing is one of the most powerful ways to engage visitors and potential customers.

What is Google My Business?

Google My Business or “GMB” is an online business directory created by Google and specifically for small to medium size local businesses like yours. It has consistently produced results for these types of business and can also do the same for you.

But, in order to get maximum results, the listing must be properly set up and optimized.

(Want GMB set up for free? See below!)

Why Online Business Directories?

The answer is that they have successfully proven over decades to generate traffic to a business location, or a website or another point of contact.

Yelp, Foursquare, Manta, and Yellowpages are just a few of the major ones, but there are dozens and dozens of minor ones. All of them encapsulate the essence of the business, providing glimpses inside the business, contact details and customer reviews.

But, why GMB?

Many of these, especially the major ones, operate on a revenue generating basis. This means that though they offer free listings, they also show ads for businesses similar to the one in the lising and provide links to these potential competitors.

Although this may change in the future, Google offers GMB completely free. That means no ads or mentions about competitors or links to them.A GMB listing also has several other distinct advantages, in that it is:

Directly tied into Google search rankings
Shows up prominently in search results
Offers a robust platform for displaying reviews and engaging with customers who leave them
Uses media such as photos and videos to promote the business
Features timely information about the business through a feature called Google Posts.

Not only that, but:

Google My Business is driven by customer reviews. This is important because:

85% of consumers trust online reviews as much as recommendations from other people.
Positive reviews make 74% of consumers trust a local business more
