FAQs
What is Google My Business (GMB)?
Google My Business is a free tool that allows you to manage your business information across Google Search and Maps. It's essential for local businesses wanting to be found by customers in their area.
Why is optimizing my GMB listing important?
An optimized GMB listing significantly improves your visibility in local search results and Google Maps, making it easier for potential customers to find, contact, and visit your business. It's a key factor in local SEO.
How long does it take to see results after optimization?
While some improvements in visibility can be seen relatively quickly (within a few weeks), significant changes in ranking often take time (typically 1-3 months) as Google re-indexes and assesses the changes. Ongoing management also plays a crucial role.
Is this a one-time service, or do I need ongoing help?
The initial optimization is a one-time project to establish a strong foundation. However, ongoing management (like responding to reviews, posting updates, and adding new photos) is crucial for maintaining and improving your local ranking over time. I can provide guidance on ongoing management.
Do I need to provide you with access to my GMB account?
Yes, to perform the optimization, I will need to be added as a user (typically a manager or owner) to your GMB account. I will guide you through this process securely.
