Google Business Profile Marketing for Home Care
What is Google My Business and Why is it Important?
“Google My Business provides you with the ability to list your business location on Google Maps and local search results. You can display important information about your business, including the opening/closing times, contact details or a link to your website.” – InnovationVisual
Google My Business is a free and easy-to-use tool for businesses and organizations to manage their online presence across Google, including Search and Maps. To help customers find your business, and to tell them your story, you can verify your business and edit your business information.
Business Profile is a tool that helps your local business stand out on Google and attract new customers. Use the Google My Business app to connect with customers and keep your business presence up-to-date on Google Search and Maps.
Why is Google My Business Important for SEO in 2022?
“Google My Business has always been important because it’s often the first thing your customers notice when they search for your business. … A completed GMB listing can single-handedly improve a business’s local SEO ranking.” – Forbes
Google My Business (GMB) (now called Google Business Profile) is no longer optional — it’s an essential part of any business’s online presence and often the first place customers look for up-to-date information about your company. In the age of Covid-19, this is more true than ever.
If your customers want to find your new opening hours or want to call you to inquire about your health and safety protocols, you can bet they probably aren’t going to crack open the Yellow Pages. Instead, they’re going to Google your business’s name and check the right-hand panel for the information they need. If it’s not there, they might look elsewhere.
