Google My Business management Drives new business and increases your local visibility
Google My Business (Google Business Profile) is the information that appears in Google when someone searches a business’s name or generally searches for a type of business. It’s almost always someone’s first impression of your business and carries the most important information a potential customer needs to know. When it’s managed right, it leads to more business and ease of use for the customer. When it’s managed poorly your local visibility and conversions suffer.
Businesses that verify their information with Google My Business and have highly optimized profiles are twice as likely to be considered reputable by consumers (Google Support, 2021).
