As the centerpiece of your online presence, a strong website is essential to your credibility. Draw visitors in with a compelling value proposition and impactful, original, customer-focused content that distinguishes your business. Increase your value with a guided user experience that leads those visitors to relevant and targeted information.
While your website is the most important component of your online presence, it’s not the be-all and end-all. An online search for your name or business should identify multiple results in addition to your website — including industry and social profiles, press releases, published articles or blog posts and visual media.
Google Business Profile
When a prospective client searches for your business online, one of the key results on Page 1 is a Google Business Profile listing. Whether that listing is complete and credible may mean the difference between a new client and a missed opportunity.
Google Business Profile is a free tool for businesses and an essential component of a local SEO strategy. But many Google Business Profiles remain incomplete or unclaimed.
Optimizing your Google Business Profile will showcase your business in a Google Search. An up-to-date, comprehensive profile can improve your findability in a local search, drive traffic to your website and bring in new customers.
Did you know that a Google Business Profile can include client reviews, owner updates, photos and promotional offers?
