What is Google My Business
Google My Business is the platform that features your business listing on Google. It's similar to a social media profile in that you fill out information about your business, add photos, and manage customer reviews
Odds are you have used the consumer end of Google My Business without even knowing it. When you look up a business on Google Maps, the results you see are Google My Business listings. Many business owners don't know that they have control over the information displayed on their listing.
Why Utilize Google My Business?
Attracting customers on Google is all about getting your name in front of their eyes. This means you want to cover as much of their screen as possible. Google My Business is great because when you search your business's name, the listing will take up the entire right side of the browser if done correctly. This is primetime real estate to deliver information to a potential customer.
As you can see here, we were able to fill the screen's entire right side with information about Alpine. This is sure to get the attention of a potential customer and point them in the right direction.
With the recent updates done to Google My Business, owners can feature their products, services, active deals, photos, videos, and more.
