It’s essential that your local mom and pop business is on the Internet. It might sound crazy, because you are dealing with only local customers. But this is the way the world works right now.
Your customer might be sitting in the park down just 100’ away from your business. But they will pull their phone out of their pocket and search for a business near them to fine the type of goods you’re selling.
Sure! They could just look up and see your business right there in front of them. They won’t, though. They’ll search.
So, is your business going to pop up in the search results? Or is that potential customer going to get into their car and drive for 20 minutes to visit your competitor?
Google My Business is Free
To ensure you are going to be found in search results for your local area, you need to start a Google Business Profile for your business with Google.
It’s free! So, no worries.
You can personalize your profile with pictures you’ve taken of your store, storefront, employees, customers, products and your employees working. Your business will be featured on the Google maps, customers’ reviews of your business will be shown and a lot more.
Google makes it easy to get noticed when you’re a local business. You don’t have to complete with the entire world. You’ll compete only with your local competitors right there in your own area.
