Boost Your Google Business Profile Presence

Google Business Profile plays a huge part in driving online traffic to your service area business. If your business is mission control, then GMB is the rocket ready for space flight.

What is Google Business Profile?

GMB is a free business listing service provided by Google. With it, you’ll get a business profile that helps you connect to customers in local search through Google Search and Google Maps, even if you don’t have a website online. 

Once you have claimed your business listing, customers will be able to connect with you by phone, messaging, or through customer reviews. Ultimately, if you don’t claim your Google Business Profile listing, you’re sending your potential customers straight to your competition.

Why would you want to have a presence on GMB? We’ll let the numbers do the talking.

According to Google, more people are searching for your business with a mobile device – like a smartphone or tablet – than they are on a computer. More than half of website traffic is stemming from mobile devices.  And for those searching on their phones? Thirty percent of their searches were related to their location.

How GMB Works?

A large portion of local Google search results are now dominated by map listings. If you’re a local business, the GMB platform is a crucial part of your marketing strategy. 

If you are not optimizing your GMB listing, you are leaving leads lost in space instead of sending them to your docking station: aka your business.

If you’re a small business owner, you may already have a GMB profile. And if you do, you’re one step ahead, but business owners still need a verified Google Business Profile account for that profile to be able to manage it. 

Whenever someone searches for something near them, relevant local businesses will display in the search results, and across the ads on the page. If you’ve ever seen the “map pack” or three local results on a map in a search, you’re familiar with GMB. 

The issue is, that just like you are battling competitors in the search query, you’re battling them for the spots in the Google local pack, too. And there’s where GMB optimization services come into play. Local SEO is a tough game, and you need to focus on what you know best: running your business.
