How Google My Business improves SEO
Google My Business is one of the best ways to improve the SEO for your small business. Even better, it is free to use!
Despite this, it is one of the most underrated and under utilised online platforms when it comes to promoting small businesses.
For clients who engage Dynamic Websites to do SEO, Google My Business is usually integral to their SEO plan.
1. What is Google My Business
Google My Business is a free listing that you create on Google. You own the profile. This means you can add lots of information about your business. The type of information you can list includes opening hours, contact information, as well as a list of the products and services you provide.
A Google My Business profile is a great way to increase your visibility on Google’s platforms. This includes both search results and Google Maps.
2. Add Posts
One of the best ways to utilise Google My Business is to add posts on a regular basis with good quality photos. It is estimated that you can increase the chances of people clicking onto your website by nearly 50% just by showing good quality photos with your posts.
One great feature of Google My Business it that you can add a link to each of your posts to your website. This means you can direct potential customers to the most appropriate page of your website. This can really help with streamlining the path to purchase and significantly increase sales.
As with content you add to your website, your posts also need to be optimised for SEO.
3. Get reviews
All websites have a CMS (Content Management System), that you need to have administrator login details to use. WordPress is one of the most popular CMS’. It is also the one we use at Dynamic Websites when designing new websites. It is important to have the site administrator details updated to remove old access and ensure only you (or your appointed web design company) has control.
