Welcome to the exciting world of Internet marketing and “Local SEO” where success depends on many factors.
One such critical factor is the Google Business Profile. We would like to draw your attention to the importance of your Google Business Profile.
As you may know, Google is the most widely used search engine worldwide, and your Google Business Profile shows up when people search for your brand or your products/services. It is the first impression that potential customers get of your business, so it is essential to ensure that it is accurate, up-to-date and optimized.
With a detailed Google Business Profile, you can increase your visibility, attract new customers, and build your brand’s credibility in your local market. Furthermore, your profile makes it easier for customers to see your reviews, leave reviews and for you to respond to those reviews. Using a “Reputation Management” system automates review requests to build your reputation, Social Proof!
So, if you haven’t created or updated your Google Business Profile recently, now is the time to do so. It’s a simple task that can yield great benefits for your business. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to put your best foot forward.
If you have any questions or need assistance in creating or optimizing your Google Business Profile, please feel free to reach out to us, and we’ll be happy to help.
Another Local SEO Factor: Internet Business Listings and Citations
After getting your Google Business Profile set up, the other factor that holds you back from getting awesome results in local search is having incorrect or inconsistent citations. Next to having your website optimized, this is the #3 negative ranking factor according to David Mihms (SEOMoz) most recent ranking factors survey.
This can happen for a number of reasons:
- You move and get a new address
- You get a new phone number
- You have variations of your business name
- Aggregators just pick up incorrect information about your business and display the incorrect NAP (Name, Address & Phone Number).
Use our FREE “Local Listings Scan” to see where your business is listed…or not listed!
Ignoring this primary local SEO factor will result in poor search results and paralyzed rankings. Each citation you have is like a “vote” for you to rank higher. If these votes are going to different NAP combinations, there’s no way you can collect the SEO juice you need to rank higher.
These need to be fixed, and we are going to do it for you!
Fixing these issues isn’t an easy ordeal. Every citation source is different and as a result, a lot of manual labor is required to contact each site to correct the information.
