Who doesn’t want free advertising and exposure on Google?!
Google My Business (GMB) is a free tool that helps businesses manage how they appear on Google Search and Maps. It provides you with the ability to list your business location on Google Maps and local search results. You can display important information about your business, including the opening/closing times, contact phone number, and a link to your website.
Google Reviews
If you want to rank higher in search and map results, ask customers and clients to leave reviews. Google reviews are critical. They act as real-world signals of what people think about a business and are vital factors in ranking in local search. Not only this, but they act as social proof to your potential customers and help them decide on whether to do business with you. You can even send them a link to leave you a review. Here’s a sample of the one we send clients:
