      What Is Google My Business?

      Google My Business (GMB) is a free tool which allows business owners manage how their business appears on Google Search and Google Maps. 

      When prospective customers or clients perform a Google search, they will see a map and a list of three local listings which are typically nearby and relevant to their query. This is called the Local 3 Pack and is the Google My Business profile of each business. You can see how much information your customers can attain about your business almost immediately. They have the option to choose your business or 2 others. They also have enough information to make a purchasing decision.

      The main information a business owner can showcase includes the business name, category, address, hours, phone, website, appointments, reviews, photos, videos, questions and answers, products, services, business description. Other information can be available for other industries such as hotels and restaurants which may have additional options. 

      Below is a Knowledge Panel which relays all the information you can provide in your GMB profile. The more the profile is filled out, the more information the Knowledge Panel will show.

      This is the Google Local 3 Pack. Most of this information is being pulled from the Google My Business listing as well. Ranking in the Local 3 Pack provides a huge boost in reputation, recognition, and sales for your business.

      Google My Business Listings Top Local Search Results

      A local search phrase includes keywords like near me, or a specific location like a city, district, or address. For local searches, Google no longer gives websites the prime real estate. Right beneath the ads, at the top, you do not see the top SERPs. You see the top local business listings. And that is a big deal.

      Local searches have become a qualified step in the buyer’s journey. Most of the time, consumers that look for more product information on their phone end with a local Google search.

      A whopping 82% of smartphone shoppers make a near me or local search before deciding on a business. You do not want to miss out on more than 8 out of 10 potential customers. Together with Google Ads for local businesses, this helps you cash in on local searches. And that is not the only benefit.

      Knowledge Panel for Branded Searches

      With a Google My Business listing, a knowledge panel for your business will show up on the right side of the search results for branded or relevant searches.

      You can see the same summary of your business available on Google Maps. Your address, average rating, business hours, directions, and some general business information.

      If competitors are running ads against your business name, the knowledge panel can be a great way to grab the attention of potential customers instantly. The panel helps draw their attention away from Google ads directly below the search bar, to your business.

      Features of Google My Business

      What does Google My Business offer business owners? Here is a few of the most popular features:

      Insights: Google’s dashboard provides key investigates customer activity and interaction, allowing businesses to learn what is working—and what is not—on their listing. In addition, it can help them understand their community better as they target new customers. How did searchers find your business? Where did they come from? How are your photos performing? Google My Business insights highlight the answers to these questions and helps businesses optimize and improve over time.

      Posts: Easily post custom updates and offers on your local listing, inviting customers to make return visits and engage further with your business. Updates can be made anytime from your phone, tablet, or computer for on-the-go maintenance. Not sure what to post about? Try a few ideas we
