Make Your Business Easy to Find Online
Did you know that 97% of people look for local businesses online? Having an optimized Google Maps listing ensures your business appears when customers are searching. Not only that, but 72% of local searchers visited a business within five miles, making it essential to be present and visible.
How We Do This:
- Ensuring all business information is accurate and complete.
- Adding categories and keywords customers are searching for.
- Keeping the profile updated with current information.
Why:
This improves your ranking in local search results and makes it easier for customers to find you when searching online.
Be the Business They Call First
When people search for local services, 64% use Google Maps listings to find contact information. This means your Google Maps listing must be complete and up-to-date to capture these interactions. Plus, 16% of businesses receive more than 100 calls per month directly from their Google Maps listing. Are you missing out on potential customers?
How We Do This:
- Adding and verifying contact information.
- Ensuring contact information is consistently visible and easy to find.
Why:
Optimizing for direct interactions (eg. phone calls) helps convert profile views into immediate customer actions.
Never Miss a Customer Inquiry Again With AI
80% of customers expect instant responses when they contact a business, but most small businesses can’t reply 24/7. AI chatbots solve this by instantly answering FAQs, booking appointments, and capturing leads—even when you’re unavailable. Businesses using chatbots see up to a 30% increase in customer conversions. Are you losing potential customers by not responding fast enough?
How We Do This:
- Setting up an AI chatbot to handle common customer inquiries.
- Integrating chatbots with your website.
Why:
Quick responses keep customers engaged, capture more leads, and convert visitors into clients—without adding more to your workload.
Turn Searches into Site Visits
56% of customer actions on Google Maps listings result in website visits. This is a powerful opportunity to drive targeted traffic to your site and showcase your services. With our expert management, we ensure your Google Maps listing leads to increased web engagement and conversions.
How We Do This:
- Full website audit or a brand new website (if needed)
- Incorporating a prominent and accurate link to your website.
- Ensuring the user experience flows from Google Maps to website.
Why:
This drives traffic from your profile to your website, encouraging users to learn more or complete transactions.
Appear in More Customer Searches
More than 34% of local businesses are discovered in over 1,000 “discovery searches” each month. Verified and optimized Google Maps listings are critical for appearing in these searches and standing out from your competition. We know how to position your business to be found consistently.
How We Do This:
- Using relevant keywords in business descriptions and service offerings.
- Regularly posting updates, offers, or events through Google Posts to show activity and keep the profile fresh.
Why:
Regular activity signals to Google that your business is active, increasing visibility and ranking in local searches.
Build Trust and Stand Out
Profiles with photos are twice as likely to appear reputable, and a complete Google Maps listing is 7 times more likely to get clicks than an incomplete one. These details can make the difference between a customer choosing you or a competitor.
How We Do This:
- Adding high-quality photos of your business, services, and products to build credibility.
- Actively requesting and responding to customer reviews to showcase reliability.
- Verifying the business and keeping the profile complete to increase trustworthiness.
Why:
Profiles with complete information and photos are more attractive to potential customers and signal trustworthiness, leading to higher engagement and conversions.
