Now that physical maps are no longer in style, just about anyone can get their business up on the maps for the world to see. When people are searching for a particular service “near me,” their go-to is often Google Maps, which showcases each registered business’ hours, reviews, pictures, location, updates, and other useful info for potential buyers to consider before making a decision.
In order to increase your chances of being seen and picked by your target audience, we help out by optimizing your business profile, updating it on a weekly or monthly basis, and continually getting more citations (listings in online directories) over time to help the algorithm favor you.
Like your website, this is your time to shine! Your map listing profile is where you can post pictures of your business, employees, past work, etc… The more people can see, the more they will trust you and determine if you are a good fit. You can also list your open hours, as well as post updates with promotional offers.
One of the most critical aspects of your map listing profile is the reviews. Have you ever looked for a local business in Google Maps and chosen the one that has the highest star rating? This is a common practice for potential buyers since they are looking for quality service and the best experience possible. While you can’t always erase bad reviews, we’ll work with you to help you increase your good reviews by getting more frequent feedback from your clients or customers.
As we work with you over time to increase your business citations and posts to your profile, you will see your business rise in the map rankings, ideally to one of the top three spots where viewers’ eyes land first!
