Google My Business Optimization

Google My Business Optimization (GMB) is the process of optimizing your GMB listing and leveraging it for more sales. While many companies claim their GMB listing, they tend to overlook the importance of optimization. This is like developing a website but forgetting to create product/service pages.

An optimized GMB listing helps Google find, crawl, index, and rank a local business. This plays a central role in helping your business attract high-quality traffic and build a wide audience base.

Google My Business makes it much easier for local web users to find your business. By sharing essential business information (name, address, phone number, website, business hours, etc.) and optimizing your listing, you can maximize your chances of appearing in the Google 3-Pack.

The Google 3-Pack displays the top three search results for a local search. Why does earning a spot on it matter? Because the top three search results on Google earn a whopping 75.1% of all clicks.

If your business is listed on the second or third page, your click-through rate will be significantly lower. In fact, 75% of people never scroll past the first SERP.

GMB Optimization has the best long-term return on investment because you do not pay for clicks from natural search results. This doesn’t mean GMB Optimization is free. Our GMB optimization specialists use a wide range of innovative, effective, and actionable strategies to help local businesses rank higher. Our state-of-the-art software, resources, expertise, and extensive experience enable us to deliver incredible results that can be easily sustained in the long run.
