If you're a business owner, it doesn’t matter how big or small your business is, and find yourself asking, “How can I help my clients find me on Google”? Then you're in the right place. I’m going to tell you the single best thing you can do to help optimize search results that’ll lead your client's right to you. Best of all, it's completely free!
What I’m talking about is setting up a Google My Business profile account. With a Google My Business profile account completely set up you’ll be able to help Google give your clients the necessary information when they Google you, or even other businesses like yours. It helps give interested clients information like where your business is located, your office hours, a link to your website, and reviews others have left.
Sounds good? Great! So, here’s what you’ll need to get started: a mailing address or phone and some patience. That's it, it’s completely free. Just go to the Google My Business website and log on with your Google account. It’ll ask you questions about your business and it’ll check the volatility of your business in one of two ways. Option one is you can enter your business shipping address and Google will send you a postcard in the mail within five days with a code. Go back to the Google My Business website and enter the code. Option two if option one isn’t an option for you or your business, is to have Google text your business phone with a verification code, however this method can be a little tricky so it’s best to with option one if you can.
Once you have your business verified, that's hard done. You can sit back and know your clients will have a much easier time finding your business when searching on
Google. But if you don’t want to stop there you don’t have to. You can enter additional information such as the products you sell, pictures of your business, your company logo, you can send updates to your clients to keep them informed, and so much more.
This is something you can do on your own or if you feel more comfortable living it in the hands of a professional you could simply hire a SEO specialist and then add them as a manager which would allow them to work remotely on your behalf. If that wasn’t enough reason to set up a Google My Business profile account you should know that just for setting up the account Google offers new business a free $500 credit for you if you chose to run some paid ads using Google Ads. If you’ve been looking for a free way to help your clients find your business on Google then look no further because setting up a Google My Business profile account is one of the very best options out there.
