Google My Business
Our very first tip for getting your business in front of more eyes is to utilize Google My Business. You would be surprised how many people don’t even know what Google My Business is, let alone have their entire profile filled out. Google My Business is an online profile that you claim and verify that you are a certain type of business. Only 44% of Google My Business profiles have been claimed, and of those claimed only 65% are completely filled out.How can I fully utilize Google My Business?
The very first thing to do when getting started with Google My Business is to claim your business. After it is claimed it is really important to get your whole profile filled out with the most accurate and up to date information. There are around 30 different fields to fill out and you should make sure to complete them all. A few things you can include are your business hours, what types of payment you accept, how big your service area is, what types of services are provided as well as a description of each. There’s never such a thing as too much detail when trying to gain new customers!What should I add to my Google My Business?
After you have claimed and set up your Google My Business, make sure to utilize it regularly. If you have photos from yourself or a customer, post them. You can use your profile to promote when sales or specials are happening. Do you have any scientific information or white paper for your business, post those as well.How can I organize all of my business information?
Optimizing your Google My Business is the key to a successful local SEO campaign. Now that you have all of the information added to Google My Business, let’s organize it in other places that will benefit your business as well. There’s so much information that you can share, and if it is not easily accessible for people then that information might not ever be seen. Spending a little bit of time organizing that information will help suck in your clients. There’s always information to be had on your website, but if the client can’t find it, then the time spent creating it went to waste. Make sure your site is easy to navigate and search for the wanted information. Information isn’t just business hours, phone number or address. Do you have studies, photos or blog posts? All of these can catch someone’s attention in different ways, all relaying important details about your business. What can you create to help others learn a little bit more about you?
