Do you need it? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The short answer is <strong>yes<\/strong>. No matter the size of your business, it\u2019s a great tool to have so that potential customers can immediately find you. When your name is typed in, whether it be to Google Search or to Google Maps, your business listing will provide all of the necessary details. This includes your industry, address, number, and hours of availability. It also links back to your reviews and social media channels, and allows consumers to add photos or questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically, your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Business Profile<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> does it all.

Businesses that implement this profile increase their chances of landing in the local 3-pack. The local 3-pack is the top three businesses a user sees when they attach the keywords \u201cnear me\u201d or \u201cnear [my location].\u201d This will indirectly help with your website rank. So, how do you get started? These are the steps that you need to take to start boosting your local business presence today.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 1: Create your Google Account.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to have a Google Account for your business, before all else.

If you are signed in to your personal Gmail, you should see a bigger version of your icon, a welcome statement with your name, and some privacy settings. However, we are wanting to make a new account. That way, your personal business is separated from your business business. To do this, click the smaller version of your icon in the top right corner, then press \u201cAdd another account.\u201d Now, go to where it says \u201cCreate account\u201d and hit \u201cTo manage my business.\u201d From here, you can make an account just as you normally would.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10020 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-2.jpg\" alt=\"Google Business Profile step 1\" width=\"721\" height=\"719\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-2.jpg 721w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-2-121x121.jpg 121w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 721px) 100vw, 721px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 721px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 721\/719;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Locate or add your business to Google.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will now move into the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/business\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Business Profile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> web page.

As you are setting up your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Business Profile<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you are going to be asked if you want to receive updates and recommendations for your business.

You have to verify the account. By verifying your business, you are claiming that you are the owner. This will allow you to promote, track analytics, and respond to your customers. Google offers multiple ways for you to confirm that you are who you say you are. You have the options to be sent a verification code either by mail, phone, or email. For physical stores, you are most likely going to have to go with the mail option, which arrives in approximately five days. This is because Google wants to prove that you are operating at the address you claim to be. Until you have been able to input the code, any changes made to your profile will be invisible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10025 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-6.jpg\" alt=\"Google Business Profile step 5\" width=\"819\" height=\"797\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-6.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-6-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-6-768x747.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 819px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 819\/797;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 6: Customize your Google Business Profile accordingly.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to fill out even more information about your business. First, you will be able to list your business hours. This helps customers know when they can contact you. If your hours of availability end up changing, you will be able to edit them later on. Regardless, make sure that it is accurate. Next, choose whether or not you would like to allow messaging. By clicking the slider on \u201cAccept Messages,\u201d you will be able to better connect with your audience when they engage with you. If you decide to go this route, commit to being responsive. Lastly comes the business description. Tell potential customers what they can expect from your business. Think of it as a mini homepage. You want to be able to convince them, in just 750 characters, that you are the solution for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10026 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-7.jpg\" alt=\"Google Business Profile WEBii\" width=\"569\" height=\"692\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-7.jpg 569w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-7-247x300.jpg 247w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 569px) 100vw, 569px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 569px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 569\/692;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 7: Keep your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Business Profile updated<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember back at Step 4 when we discussed Google loving updated content? You can\u2019t simply set up your Business Profile and be done with it. Otherwise, much like with if you don\u2019t change your hours of availability, how are people going to know what information is correct? It could absolutely cost you sales. Plus, Google really encourages fresh and frequently revised content. To combat this issue, keep maximizing your visibility. Consider adding photos and videos of your business using tools like Picsart Photo Editor to <a href=\"https:\/\/picsart.com\/photo-editor\">enhance your visual content<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you search for WEBii and click on the \u201cSee photos\u201d section of our profile, we have visual content from our website, our office, and events. Doing this allows people to get to know you better as your business continues to grow. And, if customers like what you have produced, encourage them to share Google Reviews. Then, let them know publicly how much you appreciate them. By regularly maintaining the profile, you are likely to increase you visibility in searches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10027 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-8-1024x539.jpg\" alt=\"Google Business Profile step 7\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-8-1024x539.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-8-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-8-768x404.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-8-1536x808.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.webii.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Google-Business-Profile-8.jpg 1840w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/539;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signing up for a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Business Profile<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is easy and free.
