3 powerful small business tips

Nail your GMB on the things you can do. Just go through everything

Remember though, some businesses have a very different setup. For example, Hotels have extra facilities that need filling in – see video below. Also, restaurants have extra menus and booking facilities that need adding.

• Hotel support page https://support.google.com/business/answer
• Google My Business For Hotels https://youtu.be/aa4NwwVPB3w
• Optimize Google My Business LIKE A PRO https://youtu.be/411gT0LZ5u4

Most businesses fall into two areas. They are either a SHOP or a SERVICE. You need to be clear as a beginner, which one you are and then stick with it

Implementing the wrong SEO habits could harm a small business. In 2021 anything out there doesn’t make it right. The web is full of advice, but not all of it is correct or up-to-date.

SEO areas to be very careful of:

• Writing for Search Engines or Bots
• Overusing Internal Links
• Link farms
• Keyword stuffing
• invisible text – bg and text color same duplicate content
• The biggest one to avoid in Google My Business? Spammy titles

So what are spammy titles? It’s where the business name is registered using inaccurate keywords or location to get found ahead of all reputable business names. I blame Google here for giving too much credit to the title name of a business. Sadly for those who try to stick with the guidelines, it gives a massive gain. Though temporarily is the silver lining. As in recent times, Google has empowered business owners and users of Google Maps to be able to report and get them removed as spammy titles.

Check GMB insights regularly. It may be good to take some time out and actually understand how your changes are affecting your appearance in the results.

What way are customers finding you? Which keywords are proving popular? What words are your customers actually using? Are your recent photos really helpful? what is your traffic like compared to others in your business category?

All answered in insights if you know where to look. With insights, it’s simplified analytics of your business within Google. If you follow the basics and fill out what you can, accurately. Then monitor the results in insights, you are no longer a beginner!
