Free Ways to drive more Website Traffic using your Google My Business listing.
A well-set Google My Business profile allows businesses to easily connect with customers across Google search and Maps and thus enhance business growth. So let’s quickly run down the best ways to accomplish this goal.
00:21 Add Current Photos of Your Business to Your Profile
No matter if you had your account for a while or just created one, make sure to have updated photos with variations to highlight your business in different lights. Remember what may work for one person may not work for the next. So, show off your building at different angles, etc.
Once you double check your contact page and if it works on mobile and desktop alike, have it added to your GMB listing. Now let’s move to COVID concerns.
