What Is Google My Business?

(And Why Should Small Businesses Use It)

Google My Business is a free resource set up by the search engine giant to help businesses take control and ownership of their brand and location. Unlike Facebook, the platform offers a website and allows you to stand out for free. If you haven’t started using this invaluable tool already, you’re running the risk of customers either not finding you or reading incorrect information.

Google My Business Allows You to:

• Get noticed by genuine potential customers
• Manage your reputation
• Generate more business

Small Businesses Use Google My Business Because:

• 4 out of 5 customers use search engines for local information
• 70% of customers visit a store or make a purchase after a search
• 85% of people of trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations
