RANK LOCALLY: WITH GOOGLE
To increase local traffic to your business site, “Google My Business”, also know as “Google Local or GMB” is a trend that is vitally important for businesses that want to gain local traffic without spending tens of thousands for search engine optimization on their website. Yes, both SEO and Google Local can both be used together and synergistically, but Google Local is more specific towards your local neighborhood, where SEO is more specific towards ranking your website regionally and nationally.
Google wants to “fine-tune” their searches for those products or services that time or location is vital to your search: “24hr Emergency Plumber Near Me”. Some plumber on the other side of town is irrelevant and could cost you more money in damages to a time sensitive problem needing an immediate remedy.


Understanding GMB
Google My Business
How to find “Google My Business” business listings is easily done within Google Maps and also in the local results section of Google Search. This is often referred to as the “Map Pack or 3-Pack” because it generally includes the 3 closest businesses, or the websites with the most “domain authority” or local rankings, near your search. When potential clients search within a metro area, city area, or township with the name or nickname of that area in the search it helps to be closest to the center of these areas.
Adding a place to Google Maps seems a simple enough task, but requires a Business Profile to be set up. Going into Google’s GMB admin panel you will notice a completion percentage of how much work you will need to do to complete 100% of the information. The higher the better obviously. After you submit your new GMB Listing Google will need about a week to send you a postcard so you can confirm that you are definitely at the mailing address as reported. The postcard will include a code that you type into your telephone. With all this information Google will also confirm that your listing is not duplicate. After such, your Business Profile for that location will be listed on Google Maps. You still may not show up until you can show locally that you are a legitimate business in your community. There are many notions on how to bypass this and one that we recommend is by adding relative content to your Google My Business page (services or products). Also, it will definitely help if you petition old or present customers to leave reviews, comments, or images on your GMB page. Lastly, your site may be over-optimized or be included in the dreaded “Google Sandbox”.
A location that will not help your ranking until Google sees fit to release your website to the general public. Many of these websites are found to be overly optimized or suspected to be not important for the Google Public.
