Some helpful questions on Google My Business

Google My Business Help Plan Process

Insights Top 5

So the first part is to go to insights. This is within the Google My Business login area. The idea is to find out the keywords your customers are currently finding you under. So rather than guess this gives you a complete truth of the matter. If you haven’t done so already then you may want to read and watch the video on understanding, using and adding keywords within Google My Business.

Help From Nearby City and keywords

Next use a local city to get ideas from. Why a local city and not a small nearby village? You want there to be enough competition so you can learn from the top of the ranking. If these are in a large competitive market then they are being rewarded for doing the right thing. But if you go too far out of your area it may change, certainly stick within your country and category when you do this to make sure its relevant to your business, customers and thereby Google’s algorithm

Observations

This is just about taking notes. Ignore nothing. approach it without a biased point of view. you could even ask a neutral or a friend to do this for you. What your trying to do is look at the raw facts and not justify your current business approach. This is where most will fail, so don’t let yourself down!

Put your plan in writing

When I’m filming this, I have in mind the following Priority is thinking about the user Always encourage better branding Have products if possible (most don’t) Score on the website isn’t overly important Covid update is often not seen but still important

This is your basic plan above but it will vary depending on how Google My Business works for your business category. The plan is then to make it ongoing. Next month tackle this plan and add one photo and one post
