You’ve claimed your  “Google My Business”(GMB)  listing which is great, now I need to help you get the best out of it and bring local search traffic to your website or physical door.

As you may or may not know these GMB listings are providing information for local results, especially if you use the “Near Me” phase.

Overview of the service;

As its all about Local Search, so all your NAP details need to be correct. Which is  “Name / Address / Phone “Number these have to be standardized across your website and other citations. 

Then we move onto the profile information and make sure that is fully utilized and populated correctly, adding new data or amending what you have already entered into the following sections

• Primary Category and subcategories
• Service areas
• Opening Times
• Description
• Photographs etc

Once we have taken care of that list we can move on to Products and Posts and how these can really make a difference.

I want to leave you with one thought;

Everyone spends a lot of time and money investing in Websites and that’s just the beginning, then you have to let Google rank it and that process can take up to 8 months for your web page to get to its optimum position.

So what if I was to let you into a little secret, all this time your entering your company information into the GMB is directly going into Google’s system.   That means your data is going to be processed and available in searches faster than anything else you can do!

I have seen a company show up in local results for products and services that they didn’t do only 24hrs earlier!!
