Have You Heard about Google My Business?
(Or Google Business Profile)

 

Google Business Profile is Google’s new platform for
creating, managing, and monitoring business listings.

It is a good first step for companies that are just getting started on the web;
but it has also become the main, one-stop-shop dashboard for businesses
that previously used Google+ Local and Google Places for Business.

Google My Business will help you connect with more local consumers,
whether they’re searching for you on organic search, Maps, or Google.
It is a fast way to help your business show up across the board;
ultimately giving you more visibility and exposure.

Google My Business is a service designed to get more Business Owners
under the Google umbrella. Its tools and features make it very convenient
for companies to manage their online properties in a single unified place.

 

With it, you can:

* Manage your business listings for Google, Maps, and Search
* Upload pictures and videos of your business
* Interact and share content with followers
* Monitor and respond to reviews from across the web
* Start and maintain automated Marketing campaigns
* Access some relevant data, insights and analytics

 

Google can provide insight into how consumers are discovering your
company, what they click on, and other interesting features that will
provide you with powerful data that can be used to grow your business.

Businesses can access the platform on their desktop computer or through
an iOS or Android app from a mobile device. This is a great enhancement –
making managing your local listing even more convenient.

If you don’t have the time to sign-up or maintain your profile, definitely
seek the help of a skilled professional that can ensure your listing is fully
completed, claimed, optimized, and even fully “decked out” …

As you know, most consumers today are going online to search for local
products and services; so this is one of the most effective ways to put
your business & brand right in front of these active leads.

 

But understand this

Just because you “build it”, doesn’t mean “they will come” …
You need to understand what Marketing is, and what it’s supposed to do …
Too many Small Business Owners waste time, effort, and valuable resources
on the wrong or bad advice or guidance … Do yourself a favor, and when you
are communicating with someone in “Sales”, understand they are in “SALES”.

Business Coaches, Marketing Consultants, and Marketing Strategists do
not sell you “tactics”, or methods … They teach you “strategies” that grow a
business … Those “tactics”, or methods, are figured out AFTER, to bring
those strategies to life … If you understand this, you have a chance to
grow the business and possibly the life that you have always wanted …

Here’s To Your Success!
