The 2022 Local Search Ranking Factors
Captivate Your Audience Through Posts
Keep your audience engaged and connected with fresh content added weekly to your Business Profile through Google Posts. A dedicated Account Manager works one-on-one with you to learn all about your business, current specials, products/services, and events to create unique and engaging weekly Posts that will make your business stand out on Google.
Increase Engagement
“With 82% of people turning to search engines to find local information” your GBP listing is the perfect place to showcase what sets your business apart. Google Posts allow you to engage with searchers directly in search results, the Local Finder, and Maps. We’ll create compelling content, and share videos/images, events, and offers, with direct calls to action to capture your audience’s attention, and help grow website traffic and conversions.
Actively Manage Your Reputation & Customer Relationships
Reviews and Google Q&A have a direct impact on your reputation, local rankings, and overall sales. Searchers are drawn to companies that have the highest ratings, the most reviews, and business owners that respond.
Exceed Expectations
Get a custom review strategy that aligns with your business, helps establish a connection, builds brand loyalty, and boosts your rankings as reviews grow over time. Your Account Manager will respond to all of your new Google reviews, will engage in conversations with customers, and influence searchers to convert into clients.
Anticipate and Address Customer Inquiries
Google Questions & Answers is a powerful feature with prominent placement in your Business Profile. We’ll make sure your customers’ frequently asked questions are answered in advance, track and respond to all incoming questions and answers, and engage directly with users; you can rest easy knowing that we’re on top of this for you.
Feature Your Products
Make it easy for your customers to get access to your products and services by adding them to your Business Profile. Add eye-catching photos of new inventory, specials, and display your top selling items directly in your branded search results.
*The Google Product feature is not available to all categories and regions, however, this feature is continuing to roll out and if you do not have access now, you should in the near future.
Fight the Good Fight Against Spam
The local search landscape is becoming more competitive and many businesses are engaging in spamming tactics like keyword stuffing, creating multiple listings or using fake addresses to manipulate results and get ahead of honest business owners who play by the rules.
Level the Playing Field
Your Account Manager will regularly monitor the search results to fight the good fight against these spam tactics and stop these businesses from advancing in the results. Removing competitors that hold top ranking positions, will open up new ranking opportunities for your business, and give your listing the chance to rank higher.
Align Your Website & GBP Listing
Included in our initial audit for the Google Business Profile Management Service, is a review of your websites homepage, service and product pages for search engine optimization of title tags, content, and site speed. We’ll provide you with our recommendations so that your website aligns with your GBP optimization efforts.
