Google My Business is a program launched by the search engine Google to help businesses to be easily found in search results. When you setup your Google My Business pages, your business information is indexed in Google’s local business directory, on Google Maps, and in Google+. Your listings will now be available to users searching for your products and services, both on desktops, and mobile devices.
It’s free to sign up, and with Google placing significant importance on local search, it is imperative for all businesses with a local presence to sign up, build, and optimize a Google My Business page. Simply put, if you don’t sign up, you will not be found in local search results, or on Google Maps. When you do sign up, you have the opportunity to provide detailed information about your business, including product and service descriptions, special offers, location, hours of operation, and contact information. Your Google My Business profile also serves as your hub for Google reviews and ratings, one of the most valuable pieces of marketing your business can engage in.
Also when signing up for Google My Business, you create a Google+ profile, which gives you the ability to build and share content with a targeted audience. Growing your presence on Google+ can be an amazing way to grow your business’s search engine optimization, improving the chances that your business listings and website links rank well in both organic and local search results.
Google is always improving the way in which it delivers search results to end users. The Google My Business program is now an essential component of that goal. To sign up, simply visit the Google My Business website and register.
