Have You Heard about Google My Business?
\n(Or Google Business Profile<\/em>)<\/span><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Google Business Profile is Google\u2019s new platform for <\/span>
\ncreating, managing, and monitoring business listings.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is a good first step for companies that are just getting started on the web;<\/span>
\nbut it has also become the main, one-stop-shop dashboard for businesses<\/span>
\nthat previously used Google+ Local and Google Places for Business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google My Business will help you connect with more local consumers, <\/span>
\nwhether they\u2019re searching for you on organic search, Maps, or Google. <\/span>
\nIt is a fast way to help your business show up across the board; <\/span>
\nultimately giving you more visibility and exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Google My Business is a service designed to get more Business Owners <\/span>
\nunder the Google umbrella. Its tools and features make it very convenient <\/span>
\nfor companies to manage their online properties in a single unified place.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With it, you can:<\/span><\/h3>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

Google can provide insight into how consumers are discovering your <\/span>
\ncompany, what they click on, and other interesting features that will<\/span>
\nprovide you with powerful data that can be used to grow your business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Businesses can access the platform on their desktop computer or through <\/span>
\nan iOS or Android app from a mobile device. This is a great enhancement \u2013 <\/span>
\nmaking managing your local listing even more convenient.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have the time to sign-up or maintain your profile, definitely<\/span>
\nseek the help of a skilled professional that can ensure your listing is fully <\/span>
\ncompleted, claimed, optimized, and even fully “decked out” …<\/span><\/p>\n

As you know, most consumers today are going online to search for local<\/span>
\nproducts and services; so this is one of the most effective ways to put <\/span>
\nyour business & brand right in front of these active leads.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But understand this<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Business Coaches, Marketing Consultants, and Marketing Strategists do<\/span>
\nnot sell you “tactics”, or methods … They teach you “strategies” that grow a<\/span>
\nbusiness … Those “tactics”, or methods, are figured out AFTER, to bring<\/span>
\nthose strategies to life … If you understand this, you have a chance to<\/span>
\ngrow the business and possibly the life that you have always wanted …<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h4>\n

Here’s To Your Success!<\/span><\/p>\n
