Particularly helpful for local brands that are targeting local customers, this tool is an <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Amalgamation\">amalgamation<\/a> of Google Places and Google Maps which in turn is connected with your Google+ profile.<\/p>\n<p>This makes it easy for customers to find a business using the zip code, GPS coordinates or simply the name of the city. As a business owner here you can provide details about your work timings, line of work, contact info and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Here are three tips that can help you to get the maximum out of Google My Business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ensure all the information which you provide is accurate <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In order to start using the GMB tool, you will be required to provide your name, address and phone number. Make sure this information matches with the information given on your website. Apart from this, you need to specifically state what kind of business you operate. Apart from posting your own content, you can use user-generated content like a photo snapped by a customer. Along with this, you can list down other amenities which your business provides like wheelchair access, elevator, kids friendly atmosphere etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus on reviews <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-215\" src=\"https:\/\/blueantzin.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/03\/reviews-bluantz.jpg\" alt=\"#Reviews-Bluantz.jpg\" width=\"335\" height=\"223\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to make a mark in local searches, know that reviews work as the backbone of all local searches. Nearly 90% of people read reviews before purchasing any product. GMB heavily encourages reviews and you can send a link to your customers asking for a review. If you are getting negative reviews, try to resolve the issue and it is likely that more than half of your customers would reconsider your business for the second time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use the question and answer feature<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-216\" src=\"https:\/\/blueantzin.files.wordpress.com\/2019\/03\/google-q-a1.jpg\" alt=\"Google-Q-A1.jpg\" width=\"307\" height=\"148\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This feature in Google My Business allows customers to ask questions about your business, which you can answer. It is a great way to hear directly from the end-user. Google now sends notifications to businesses. If someone has really asked an important question, you can go ahead and upvote it for more views.<\/p>\n<p>With these three tips, you\u2019re likely to stay ahead in the competition and get more customers.
