\nGoogle My Business comes with this handy feature of booking your appointments without
\nleaving SERP. A searcher only needs to click on a given URL, and they will be redirected
\nto the section of your website that manages your calendar.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Collect Online Reviews<\/em>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\nphotos and other criteria, the reviews create first impression. No matter if it is a good review
\nor bad, responding back to them creates trust and influence your customers. By this you get

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0DONT\u2019S<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ignoring or arguing with customers<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Try to answer every review, even small thanks will work. For negative reviews try to turn
\nthem into happy customers by offering something in addition or at a discounted price.
\nThis gives a feeling that you care for your customers and in no chance want them to
\nleave unsatisfied. This help in building trust among other customers as well.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Posting Low Quality or Fake Images<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Never underestimate how much powerful the images can be in enticing your customers
\nand to make them remain on your page for an extra minute. Don\u2019t put images from other
\nsites you may get into copyright issues.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Duplicate Listing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Duplicate Listing is against Google\u2019s terms of service and showing up twice in local
\nsearch becomes confusing and frustrating for searchers too.<\/p>\n

Most of the times when business opens to a new location or move to some new place
\nthey try to make a new page but it should not be like this, instead update the listing you
\nalready have. If you have a duplicate listing created by same email address remove or
\nreport them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\nMake sure you make your listing most accurate, informative, and wholesome way possible.
\nIf you have multi-location business up and down the country. Then seek some experience
\nhands to arrange this for you. The do’s and dont’s of GMB are something that is absolutely
\ncrucial and pretty much critical when you think of revenue and competition …<\/p>\n
