Let’s face it, if your business isn’t on Google, you don’t exist. Did you know that well over 90% of all search engine traffic is Google? Today, people don’t bother memorizing much of anything, and really why should they? It’s all on Google. True.
How many times have you searched for a business on Google, and off to the right is a box with a map of where the business is located, the phone number, hours of operation, picture, and even a link to their website. It’s like Google wants to give every business a free advertisement. Well, actually Google wants to make it as easy as possible for the user to find exactly what they are looking for in 0.000048763 seconds – so, we all keep coming back.
Mobile Search Traffic is Up
You see, Google knows that they will remain the number one search engine as long as they make the user’s experience simple and seamless. Did you know that currently in 2019 over 65% of all Google search traffic is mobile? Wow, right? What could be easier for a mobile user than “ALL” the pertinent information ‘front and center’?
How Do I Get a “Google My Business” Listing for My Company?
Okay so, now you are asking yourself, “how do I make sure my business has a box listing at the top of the Google page when someone searches my business?” Well, this is the easy part. In fact, it’s so easy you are going to ask yourself; “why didn’t I do this before?”
Let’s take you through the simple steps. But first you have to Google your business name on Google Maps and see if it shows up. If it does show up, it’s because the Google Search Engine algorithms have found information from other sources and put it there for you, and for your customers (the user).
