Ever heard of "Google My Business"? Maybe you have. Maybe you claimed your listing six months ago and haven’t thought about it since. Or maybe you haven’t at all.
Either way, if you run a local business with or without a physical shopfront, having an up-to-date, fully optimised Google My Business listing is an absolute must, if you want to show up on page 1 of a Google local search for your business type .
Why is Google My Business so important?
Because, when used strategically, it makes sure potential customers find – and trust – your business without costing you a single cent.
That’s right. When optimised correctly, your business will eventually appear in what’s known as the ‘local pack’, the group of up to 3 business listings that appear alongside a map at the top of a localised Google search. And a localised Google search (such as "plumber in Toowong", "or Brighton electrician", etc.) is the first step most people take when looking to purchase local services.
