Introducing Google My Business
Introducing Google My Business.
Google My Business is a free platform created by Google to allow businesses to create profiles containing information about themselves, such as their location, hours of operation, special events, and their website.
In addition to providing essential information about your business, you can also utilise Google My Business (GMB) to interact with those who review your business on Google Maps. Your profile will be published to Google Maps, allowing users to find your listing through a location-based search, and it will also be shown in relevant searches. If you’ve ever searched for “a ‘service’ near me,” it’s likely that Google served you a list of GMB profiles categorised as relevant ‘service’ providers in your area.
Since Google My Business has quickly become the go-to platform for users to find businesses in their proximity, the importance of utilising GMB to help customers find you cannot be ignored.
While it is free and relatively simple to set up a Google My Business profile, professional marketers know the importance of consistently updating information, selecting your Google My Business Categories, monitoring your categories for their effectiveness, and using GMB to interact with your customers in new ways as Google releases additional tools and features.
