Setting up and managing your Google Business Profile.
Use this tool to promote your business on both Google Search and Google Maps. This can significantly increase the number of people who will find your business, when searching on Google. Google Business Profiles (formerly referred to as Google My Business) are a free tool, which we believe all small businesses should be using!
Imagine you are looking for a local florist and you search on Google for ‘florist near me’. Google will pull up a list of local florists, prioritising those that are currently open and have a complete profile. That could be you!
With a Google Business Profile, you can connect with your customers, post updates and explore how customers are interacting with your business on Google – all for free!
What’s more, having an up-to-date, detailed profile can help improve your search engine ranking, making your business more discoverable. Google favours businesses with complete and accurate information, such as the correct business category, business hours, location, and contact details. The more relevant, complete and up-to-date your profile is, the better your chances of ranking higher in search results.
In today’s digital landscape, establishing an online presence is critical for businesses of all sizes and the Google Business Profile is one of the most effective and accessible tools for local businesses.
A Google Business Profile is free to set up and use, which makes it an incredibly cost-effective marketing tool. You can also upload photos, post updates, share offers, and encourage customers to leave reviews—all of which contribute to building trust and attracting more potential customers.
