It is an absolutely free and very easy-to-use marketing tool that immediately boosts your company s presence in Google Search results. It is the most important factor to rank your business on Google search engine result pages (SERP). As a small business owner, you can increase the number of your clients and gain additional revenue free of cost, without paying for any ads. According to research, well over 50% of local businesses do not claim their Google My Business listings, and nearly all local businesses do not have a weekly post to market their offerings. Every business, whether small or big, offline or online, should have its own Google My Business listing. If you are working locally, you can enter your category in the Google search bar and take a look at the results. If your business is listed, it will show up very prominently on a SERP. It will display the business address, contact details, website link, reviews, photos, posts, and call-to-action button, making your business look credible to potential customers. Many digital marketing agency provide Google My Business optimization services. DigiTroopers, one of the leading agencies, offers extremely flexible and affordable packages to suit tighter budgets.

The more information you share, the better. Keep in mind that your business description has a 750-character limit, and only the first 250 characters show up on the Google Search Result Page. Make sure you craft a solid and sharp description in the first 250 characters. Web development services like DigiTroopers can assist in creating an impactful business description. 2 Add Photos & Videos Add relevant keywords to your photo filenames. Photos and videos of your local business not only help optimize your listing on Google but also familiarize visitors with your products and services. Short videos of 30 seconds are highly effective for marketing purposes. Video marketing is easy to implement using smartphone apps or free online video editing tools. For example, share visuals showcasing your graphic design services or products. 3 Earn Positive Online Reviews

Positive reviews inspire trust among potential customers, so encourage your satisfied clients to leave honest feedback about their experience. A strong review profile can also promote your e-commerce management services effectively. 4 Use Google My Business Posts Utilize Google Posts to improve your ranking. These posts appear below your listing and act as advertisements, featuring an image, text, and a call-to-action button that directs visitors to your website or landing page. You can use posts to launch new products, promote offers, or announce events. For example, showcase your latest SEO management services through posts. 5 Question and Answer Potential customers can ask questions directly from the search results, giving you a chance to answer them promptly.
