Google My Business - Changes you should know about!

Sarah Taylor • Nov 15, 2017

How would you like a competitive advantage over your competition?

Google has made some amazing and significant changes to Google My Business! These changes can have a positive impact on your business! Only if you are educated on it and know how to use it successfully.

Every single one of us is a consumer! Look at your own habits, when you want or need something, where do you go? It is safe for me to say, that 87% of you just said "Google!", I go there myself! It is has built the trust in us, as consumers, to be the "go-to" place when we want or need something, or we are just plainly curious. Having your business listed with Google is the number one recommendation I make to business owners who come to see me. Making sure you show up on the Google Map is the first way to get your local business noticed. It's also one of the first thing the Google "spiders" will look for - which makes sense, since it is their own platform!

I know, with the industry I am in, the first thing we learn in the Advertising and Marketing world is "Content is King" and when it comes to the online world, Google is the ruler of all! Let's say you are looking for a business and you don't know the name, however you know the product, service or category they belong in, you will type in "what and where" for what you want, however if it is not on the first page of Google or not in the "map" section, most people think well they don't exist or they have gone out of business or they are not real. We as consumers rarely check page 2 of Google, let alone go ALL the way to page 10! Unfortunately for your business, what we do is, we end up choosing your competitor, because according to Google, your business doesn't exist. No Local Business Owner wants that!

With all the changes and updates Google has made, especially with the new mobile features , business owners can try and figure it out for themselves (which can be very confusing and time consuming) that is why most business owners give up, because quite frankly, you have many other things to worry about that need your attention now! Most business owners prefer to talk to someone, in person, who is trained in the industry to offer a workshop to walk them through each new change step by step. While using their own laptop or computer. So they can learn it hands-on! Doing that kind of training is very successful and most of us are tactile learners anyways.

New Mobile Features Updated!
