Grow Your Business Online

In the first of our articles to help you grow your business by getting noticed online, we look at how Google My Business can help your business show up in local Google searches and on Google Maps

Google My Business (GMB) is a free and easyto-use tool for businesses and organisations to manage their online presence across Google, including Search and Maps.

When potential customers search online with a query containing a geographic location, GMB listings are often shown at the top of the search results, above the organic results.

Local SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is essential to the success of your digital marketing strategy, and your GMB listing is a key ingredient of local SEO.

As well as helping you get found in Google searches, GMB quickly provides customers and potential customers with information about your business, such as your opening times, your address, the products and services you offer, and a link to your website.

If you want to get found online, setting up and optimising your GMB should be at the top of your To Do list.
