It’s free to set up and will enable you to appear in local search results for queries specific to your products or services. 

Ultimately, it is an excellent marketing option for small business owners and is essential for customers to find you, in this modern day way of life.

The reasons why?

The two most popular resources consumers use today when making purchasing decisions are:

1. Customer Reviews
2. Google

Furthering this, customers inherently trust what other customers have to say about a business, and if we want to know anything at all, we Google it. It should be no surprise, then, that Google My Business — which incorporates the two together — is becoming one of, if not the most powerful tool for marketing. 

Let’s take a closer look at exactly how Google My Business helps businesses like yours.

1. Gain instant trust
2. Get more website visitors
3. Get more sales
4. Engage with customers
