Google My Business Listing
How Vital is a Google My Business Listing
To understand the importance of a Google My Business (GMB) listing, it is worth looking at how you now search online for things yourself. Depending on your search, do you go directly to a website like your own, or do you view a map, read a review, click to call, or view shop opening hours directly on the Google search results page?
The power of a Google My Business listing appearing in the search results with all this information means that many people no longer need to click through to a website. The Google results page is fast becoming the main event as opposed to the gateway.
This is why it is now critical that your enterprise has an optimised and effective Google My Business (GMB) listing.
Developing Your Google My Business Page
We can build and optimise your Google My Business listing so potential customers find you easily in the search results.
In the first instance, we can also help if:
- You have trouble accessing your GMB listing

Optimising & Protecting Your GMB Listing

- Telephone
- Hours
- Primary Category
- Website
- Being Live or Suspended

Posting on Google My Business
Google My Business Posts are essentially social media posts that expire after a certain number of days. They can be styled with photos as short blog posts or small advertisements, and will appear in your listing on the Google search results pages. Photographs can also be added to your profile by you or your customers.
We can write optimised content for your Google My Business Posts on a regular basis that will appear on your GMB listing. As well as optimising your GMB listing on Google, we can make sure your company details are accurate and match across other platforms such as Bing, Yelp, FreeIndex and Apple Maps etc – for business trust and credibility, it is essential to ensure your business info is identical across all listings.
