So with this in mind, I decided to put together a guide to the most common questions I get asked about Google’s Business tool and some useful optimisations you need to implement. Finally have you ever heard of Googles free website platform? No. Well later in this article I will answer the question “What is google my business website?”.
Why Google is even bothered about you updating Google My Business entrees
So lets take the first part of this by revealing our main SEO strategy. Google wants consistency, honesty reliability and dependability. How does it get that? By encouraging you to be consistent with your business information. Another way Google My Business accurately grows, is by asking others to review your business.
Allowing you to add information like opening hours, address and telephone number gives Google all the accurate information it needs to authenticate your business listing. Finally Google then encourages others to verify the genuineness of your business. If all these things match up, which for any genuine honest business they should, Google will reward you with a strong presence on its local business maps.
