Is it relevant to their search?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Is It Close By?:<\/strong> Local customers will find your listing if you\u2019ve linked it to Google Maps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Are You Prominent Online?:<\/strong> The more active you are online, the higher you can rank. Social media, blogs, articles, and updated website pages all tell Google that you\u2019re up to date and taking good care to refresh your content.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Win at the Google Game: The Top 11 Tricks and Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing how Google calculates rankings is half the battle. The other half is using this knowledge to beef up your Google Business Profile. These are the surefire ways to get noticed and get customers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">1) Claim and Verify Your Profile:<\/span> Chances are you already have a Google Business Profile, even if you\u2019ve never set one up. Sometimes other people have set them up for you or Google automatically creates it for you. Do a search of your company, and if one comes up, go ahead and claim it. If it\u2019s not already created, you can create one <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/answer\/10514137?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">following these simple steps<\/a>. You\u2019ll then need to verify it so that Google knows it\u2019s connected to your business; this usually takes less than a week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2) Fill Your Profile Out as Completely as Possible:<\/strong> The setup wizard will walk you through the entire process. Finish every section as completely as you can, and make sure you include location information so that you can be linked to and found on Maps. The more complete your profile, the higher your rankings. Your customers will appreciate having all of the information too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the fields. If you don\u2019t have a large amount of time in which to complete&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>them, you can phase them in as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Immediately (Takes 10 minutes or less):<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>When You Have More Time:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Category and Attributes:<\/strong> Carefully choose the categories that describe your business, and add your attributes (more on these in a minute).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Products and Services:<\/strong> Depending upon how many you provide, this may take a little while; it\u2019s imperative to list all of your top products and services (plus descriptions and prices) so that your customers know what you offer; these will also help your rankings for relevant searches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">From the Business:<\/span> Use this short section to sell your company and differentiate it from your competition. Use the full 750 characters and frontload the first third with the most important information. Do not include html or links in this section. Do add keywords wherever possible. These two Google tools can help you find the best keywords for your business: <a href=\"https:\/\/trends.google.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Trends<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/ads.google.com\/aw\/keywordplanner\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keyword Planner<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Questions and Answers:<\/strong> This section will help prospects answer any questions they may have, so it\u2019s a good opportunity to add your own questions and answers. Google encourages this!&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintain These Regularly:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Posts:<\/strong> Just like on social media, you can post updates and announcements here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reviews:<\/strong> As reviews roll in, you\u2019ll want to address them all\u2014the good and the bad!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Questions and Answers:<\/strong> Your customers can also add to your questions and answers section, so read them regularly to make sure you\u2019re addressing their needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Always proofread carefully so your information is correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">3) Pick Your Primary and Secondary Categories:<\/span> There are over <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/answer\/7249669?hl=en&amp;co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid#zippy=%2Cdepartment-categories%2Ccategory-specific-features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3,000 Google categories<\/a>, so be as specific as possible. Your primary is your best match, and then you can get more specific with your secondary, as in: \u201cGrocery Store,\u201d and then \u201cPharmacy\u201d or \u201cDeli.\u201d You can choose up to ten. Categories are powerful. A full 84 percent of GBP Google views come from discovery searches where the user searched by product, service, or category\u2014and just sixteen percent searched for that specific business or address. If your business name does not include the category you offer, it\u2019s especially important to choose a category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4) Leverage Category Tools:<\/strong> Many categories have specific tools to help drive business. If you own a restaurant, you can add a menu or reservation button. Hotels can have star ratings appear. Hair salons can show specific skill sets, explaining if they have experience with certain types of hair. There are booking buttons, orders, and more. Take advantage of these tools as they help attract more customers, and if you don\u2019t see what you want, try changing your category.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5) Set Your Location:<\/strong> If you want to be found, list your location. If your company is service-oriented and visits people\u2019s homes to install windows or roofs, you might not want to list a specific business location; however, including it here and noting that you want to select the service area will let customers in your area find you without viewing your location information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">6) Pick Important Attributes:<\/span> These are <a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/business\/answer\/9049526?hl=en-GB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">features that customers might seek out<\/a>, such as \u201cwomen owned,\u201d \u201cdog friendly,\u201d \u201cwheelchair accessible,\u201d \u201cfree wi-fi,\u201d or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">7) Stay on Top of Your Q&amp;A Section:<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"> Keep checking questions and set up alerts so you can see if anyone answers your Q&amp;A (and is correct). Don\u2019t forget that you can always add your own, so keep building a list as you think of good questions. Keywords are crucial here too! <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">8) Manage Reviews Well:<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"> Since Google understands that reviews are the biggest influence on customer purchases, reviews factor heavily into rankings. Generally, Google places the first three local results with many solid reviews at the top. Make sure to engage regularly with reviewers. Thank customers for good reviews, and use any negative reviews as a chance to dialogue with customers, learn how you can do better, and direct them to a phone or site for help. This devotion to excellent customer care also looks great to prospects.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-alt-serif-font-family\"><strong><a href=\"\/respond-negative-google-yelp-reviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Related: How to Respond to Negative Google and Yelp Reviews<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">9) Add Posts and Photos (and Videos) Each Week:<\/span> Google likes refreshed content, so regular posts through your dashboard are important. Don\u2019t forget to include links and CTAs here. Images are also very powerful, and they\u2019re always a fast (and emotion evoking) influence. Keep your images high quality. They\u2019ll aid in searches, as Google&#8217;s image recognition capabilities get more and more advanced. You can also geo-tag your photos for better search results. Google tells us that customers are 42% more likely to ask for driving directions to a business with photos, and 35% more likely to click on its site. The more photos and videos the better: a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightlocal.com\/research\/google-my-business-insights-study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bright Local study<\/a> found that profiles with 100 photos or more got 520% more calls, 2,717% more direction requests, and 1,065% more website clicks than the average business. Get clicking!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10) Get Text Ready:<\/strong> You can set up your account so that customers can text you directly with questions through an anonymous phone number (so yours stays private). Pick the \u201cmessaging\u201d tab on your dashboard, go to settings and check \u201cCustomer messages\u201d for alerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">11) Use Google\u2019s Free Marketing Tools:<\/span> Google does a great job of supporting businesses with a <a href=\"https:\/\/marketingkit.withgoogle.com\/?_ga=2.171556512.1459608232.1588626858-1319817477.1588626858\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free marketing kit<\/a> complete with stickers, social posts, and printable posters. You can even make a video for your company once you\u2019ve set up a profile. Use every tool you can to improve your listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Business Profiles can drive serious business to your door.
