What the GMB audit revealed
In this Google My Business Audit Review, I looked at some Massage therapist listings in Melbourne. One of the listings was Stable Massage in Melbourne. They showed their popular times in the listing. Also this part of the review looked at Blys Mobile Massage Melbourne. They were particularly good at showing products on the business listing.
Next I looked at restaurants in Delhi and there were some powerful competitors on here incuding AnnaMaya. AnnaMaya uses the Questions & Answers section well which is particularly useful for a restraunt listing. I also reviewed Indian Accent, they had some good use of Critic reviews in the Google Business lsiting.
The next industry I turned to on the map was for lawn care services in Belfast. One of the competitors there was Richie Trees Gardening. They were particularly good at showing some of the products they offered. Greenthumb Northern Ireland were able to show a 360 degree video of the premises which will always be useful for visitors wanting to know what the facilities are like and where on the road it is based. Additionally I looked at Treescapes NI which gave some evidence that you can have awesome reviews, in fact 113 5 STAR reviews, yet that isn’t the only factor Google My Business considers.
Tips To Get More Google Reviews – (The Right Way)
The next service I looked at were Photographers in Jersey City. This included amazing photo images from Danzi and Newborn Photography by Tanya. In their case they used description well in there business entry.
Finally I analysed competitors for a bricklayer in Keysborough. I found some great photos from MEetro Brick and Block. – photos. For a good range of products Bricksmart, Quality Bricklayers of Service & Excellence stood out. Then finally a quic look at Amazzon Bricklaying.This listing was owned but had no website which is so important.

Have you claimed your Google My Business listing?
Google My Business is totally free to claim but over half of the businesses out there have yet to claim this freebie from the big search engine giants. GMB is an incredibly cost effective way to be seen in a local business listing. Take advantage now, as you can be discovered locally, get a large amount of traffic to your website and still be found while the competition in your industry is still sensible.
