Even if you don’t have a website, having a Google Business Profile (GBP) and map listing is a great way to maintain your online presence. Once you establish your GBP, you’ll be listed in the Google maps section of the search results when people search up your type of services in their local area. The profile also acts as a quick way for people to gather info about your business if they were to search up your company name. Your GPB is similar to a social media profile since you can add photos of your work and business location, add contact info and business descriptions, and post updates with pictures and text to promote sales and events. Additionally, your GBP is where clients or customers can leave reviews about their experiences working with you.
Since so many people rely on Google search and Google maps to quickly find the services they need, it’s curial to keep your profile up-to-date and present your best work so that viewers will be more likely to give you a call or check out your website.
The more five-star reviews and positive testimonials you accumulate on your GBP, the more Google will see your company as trustworthy and able to provide high-quality service. In turn, this helps you outshine and rank ahead of others in the Google Maps rankings. Additionally, reviews can be extremely helpful to potential buyers deciding on which company would be best to go with.
Post photos of your team, the work you’ve done, your office building, etc. so that viewers can get a glimpse at the type of services you offer. Out of the many profiles that come up in a Google Maps search, you want yours to stand out amongst the rest as the most trustworthy and eye-catching.
When people search for a service “near me,” they are more likely to choose one of the businesses in the top three spots that appear first in the Google Maps. If you’re not one of the top places that show up, you may get lost in the sea of other local competitors. We’ll help make sure your GBP is set up for success so that you can out-rank others and show up at the top in your area.
