Google Map Listing Solutions
What do you do when you are looking for a new service or to buy something in particular? If you are like most people, you do one of three things: ask a friend or relative, do an online search (like Google), or search for it on the map app on your phone. The map app on your phone is like the Yellow Pages from the old days. Improving your business’ standing on this resource can be a simple but powerful method to attract new customers to your business.
This marketing tool goes by many names. It is most commonly known as Google Maps, Local Map Listing, Google Map Listing, Google My Business, or Google Business Profile. Just having a business profile listed does not mean that it is being used effectively or even being seen. Just having a listing does not necessarily mean that your customers will find it or that it will convince them to utilize your service. Just like with your website, there are many things we can do to help increase your ranking when someone searches for your services in your area. SB6 Solutions is excited to help you optimize this powerful marketing tool to bring more customers to you.
HOW DOES A GOOGLE MAP LISTING INCREASE SALES?
A listing on Google Maps is free so you can look at it as free advertising. A high-quality Google Map Listing can increase your sales in many ways. For example:
Improved competitive edge
The rankings are not based on organization size or money. This allows small businesses to be able to compete with some of the larger corporations.
Increased visibility
The information on your
Google Business Profile is taken into consideration when ranking your website on a Google Search. Having high quality and consistent information on the website and your local map listing increases the chance that either one will be seen by potential customers.
Convenience for your customers
A complete
Local Listing Profile
contains your contact information, location, and business hours. Many people search this information on their phone and the app can provide them step by step directions directly to your door. This allows new customers to find you faster and more easily.
Reviews
Many customers base their purchasing decision on the recommendations of others. A good review can persuade someone to try your service or product who may not have otherwise.
Google Maps is a great way to display those positive reviews. It also allows you to address some negative reviews which may alleviate some of the reservations potential customers may have otherwise had.
A second website
Your
Google My Business listing will have a link to your website which will allow customers to find it more easily. This listing is also a great place to showcase your product or services with pictures and other updates. It is basically another website that multiplies your online presence. Did we mention that it is free? How well is your Google Map Listing working for your business?
