In the end, the most imporant thing is that the client discovered YOU.
Google My Business Listing
This is probably the most important factor when it comes to Local SEO. Imagine: You’ve been working without a break. You eventually get off work, hungry, and angry. Those angry rumblings make you want to find the closest restaurant, fast.
Where would you turn?
You’ll probably visit Google. Followed by a Google My Business list on your smartphone to discover a restaurant near you with great reviews and yummy photos of their cuisine. Now imagine that you own that restaurant. That means you just scored a brand new client!
Based on Google, each month gets more than five billion searches for restaurants, three billion for resorts, one billion for clothes shops, and another 600 million for beauty and hair salons.
As a marketer, it is your job to turn those hunters into new clients. When prospects are searching for a particular solution, service, or type of company, Google My Business helps them readily associate on both Google Maps and Search.

What is Google My Business?
Google My Business is a completely free tool that enables small business owners (and nonprofits) to market their enterprise information on Google Maps and Search. With Google My Business, you can join with your clients, tell of updates to your organization profile, and determine how customers interact with your company on Google. But, it is important to be aware that Google My Business doesn’t replace your site; rather, it is a complementary advertising profile to help drive more eyes to your own site.
Contemplate Google My Business and enjoy your piece of home in the Google neighborhood. When clients find themselves at a moment of desire (also called a micro-moment) they turn into Google search to satisfy that need as rapidly as possible. If you’ve got a Google My Business profile, then the prospective client might just find and get in touch with your company to fulfill that need.
With a confirmed Google My Business profile, it is possible to:
- Join with clients through telephone calls, messaging, or reacting to testimonials
- Watch how clients socialize and interact with your brand on Google
- Characteristic Goods, photographs, or menu items directly on Google
Now that you understand the potential that Google My Business supplies, let’s teach you how to make a new profile.
For people who prefer to read directions, follow the procedure below to build your organization profile.
Step 1:
Enter Your Company address
This screen is where you will enter your company address, so Google can confirm that your company is different. You could also just have one company per house.
Step 2:
Choose whether you are a storefront or an agency supplier
Here is where you select if you would rather your customers go to your storefront, or if you prefer operating at home. If you do not want your clients to see your workspace, you may select a mile radius around your business, a particular town or condition, or a set of zip codes.
Step 3:
Pick your Main business class
Selecting your principal category is quite important since it dictates where and if you may appear on Google searches. Google is all about value, s0 if a possible client specifically searches for “Italian Restaurant” but you own a pizza place, you might not appear. If the client searches for “Best pizza,” you would have a far greater prospect of your enterprise profile showing up in the search results.
Step 4:
Insert your telephone number and site
Both mobile calls and blog clicks are tracked by Google My Business, so ensure that your data is available. Create a button that allows them to call you and order immeiately with a single click of their mouse. Accesabilty and availability are key.
Step 5:
Confirm your Regional listing (probably using a postcard)
In order for Google to handle your enterprise data in Maps, Search, and other Google properties, you need to confirm your organization listing. The verification procedure helps Google ensure your organization information is true and that only the company owner or manager has access to it.
In the end the most important thing is that the client discovered YOU.
