What's working today? Update your Google My Business Page.
Local SEO is important for any business that wants to get customers from their city, or maybe a city nearby. But this might be more important than ever while social distancing and quarantining has our communities shrinking to just our nearby surroundings.
Almost half of Google searches are for local suggestions, places, or services – even in Minneapolis – and we expect to see that number rise. How do you not get lost in the list? How can you stand out in the results? What can you do today?
Update your Google My Business. Why? Here’s 5 Reasons:
Even if you are a global business, your neighborhood needs to hear from you. What good news can you bring to your neighborhood today? Add it as a post.
Your business may have added features. Do you offer free delivery? Add it to your description.
Are you closed? Change your hours. Don’t get penalized with a drop in listings by having outdated information
Do you have reviews? Use this time for a reviews campaign since reviews help you come up in searches more often.
Keywords in reviews show up in searches – so ask previous reviewers to add the names of your products or services to their reviews
Add photos of your business – search your phone for images that haven’t been uploaded yet. Photos bring more viewers as well, and each one is worth 1000 words
