Your Google My Business Listing is Worth
\nWAY More Than You Might Know<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

46% of all Google searches have local intent.
\n83% of businesses get seen in discovery searches,
\nand over 64% of customers have used Google My Business
\nlisting to find a local business\u2019s address or phone number.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your customer base is on the internet right now. Searching for a service, product
\nor local brick and mortar shop. And, considering 80% of all searches happen on
\nGoogle, the chances of them landing on Google My Business listing is pretty high.<\/p>\n

Most of them won\u2019t go past the first page or the local pack (the first three business
\nsnippets that appear when you search for local service). And this is your problem!
\nThe good news is you can increase your visibility, attract more customers and
\noutrank your competition just by tweaking your Google My Business page a bit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use Google\u2019s Booking Feature<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

If your business uses an appointment-based approach, you can take advantage of
\nGoogle My Business\u2019 booking button feature and combine it with scheduling software
\nto allow your customers to book your services or time right on Google\u2019s search page.
\nEasy, fast, and will help you stand out from the local crowd.<\/p>\n

Most people are looking for fast and easy communication routes. Give it to them.
\nYou should also use the GMB \u2018Request a Quote\u2019 or messaging app to allow your
\ncustomers to reach you easily. Pro-tip? Always be prompt with your replies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make Sure Your NAP is Consistent<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

NAP stands for Business Name, Address, and Phone Number. It\u2019s one of the most
\nimportant and overlooked factors. Take a quick look at your GMB listing and make
\nsure your NAP is accurate, up-to-date and consistent with your other business
\ncitations. Citations are online references to your business\u2019s NAP.\u00a0 And, Google
\nuses them to evaluate your business\u2019s online authority and credibility. They help
\nwith business discovery and Google algorithms reward local businesses with a
\ngreater number of citations by ranking them higher.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Plus, Google\u2019s voice assistant uses your NAP to pick up pointers about your
\nbusiness so it can relay them to the searches. Any mismatch in your NAPs
\nwill not only put you at a disadvantage with searchers using Google Voice
\nAssistant but will also have a negative impact on your search rankings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use Google My Business Post Feature<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your GMB posts are additional advertisements for your potential customers.
\nThey bring you exposure, help the customer understand different parts of your
\nbusiness, promote CTA, and boost your Google ranking factor. Post a minimum
\nof 4 times a month. When you post, Google shows your posts to mobile searchers.
\nYou can also use Google My Business\u2019 insights feature to find out keywords you\u2019re
\nnot ranking well for. You can create posts optimized around those phrases and
\ndrastically improve your rankings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Collaborate with Local Businesses<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another strategy that helps is collaborating with other local businesses in
\nyour niche or ones that compliment you. It can be a local event, a seminar,
\na joint offer. It shows Google you\u2019re popular in the local space.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reviews. Reviews. Reviews<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

I cannot stress enough on how important reviews are.\u00a0 According to a study,
\nconversion rates peaked when businesses attained 4.9 stars, and the conversion
\ngrowth spiked by 120% when the ratings improved from 3.5 to 3.7 Most people
\nlook at reviews first. They establish trust and provide the validation your customer
\nneeds before going in for a purchase. One bad review and you can lose customers
\nfor years to come. As a rule of thumb, aim for more reviews than your competition.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Visuals Make All the Difference<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Try and aim for 10x the photos your competitor has. I know that\u2019s a lot. But the results
\nwill be in your favor, I promise. Businesses with more than 100 images get 520% more
\ncalls, 2717% more direction requests, 1065% more website clicks, 520% more calls,
\nand 713% more discovery searches than the average business. Let the photos
\nprovide an enticing peek into your business.<\/p>\n

Spend money on a professional 360 virtual tour of your business place. And use more
\nvideo snippets and stories in your profile. Show your business place, show the process
\nbehind your work and customer testimonials. Use it to promote your brand value and
\nwhat you stand for.<\/p>\n

Occupying real estate on the first page is a difficult job. But Google listings are free.
\nIn the recent past, Google has been optimizing its search page and adding widgets
\nso people can find what they need on the Google page itself. This means, there\u2019s a
\nbig possibility most of your potential customers won\u2019t even visit your website. Therefore,
\nprioritizing your GMB listing will lead to a long-term increase in sales and visibility.<\/p>\n
