3 Quick Tips For Better Google My Business Results
Getting your business to rank in the Google Maps 3 pack is one of the best places to be if you’re a local business. If you’re a roofer or dentist, most of your customers are local. If you’re a local business with most of your customers around your location, you want to be doing everything that you can to help rank your business.
Here are a few quick tips to help you:
1. Provide all the details that you can in your Google My Business profile
Claim your Google My Business listing and make sure that it’s 100% complete. The more complete your profile; the higher you will rank. Your profile is a ranking signal for Google, so the more consistent information that is online about your business, the better.
2. Build business citations
A citation is a mention of your business on the web. The citation includes your business name, address, and phone number. Citations are generally found in business directories like Yelp, Yellow pages, and Apple Maps. Don’t confuse search engines by having different information about your business online, keep it consistent and up to date.
3. Build quality links to your website
Google uses links to your website to help rank it. The more quality links that you have the easier it is to rank. By “quality” I mean sites that have authority such as news sites, government sites, and trusted organizations. There are so many ways to get quality links, so be creative and place your business where it makes sense.
Professional tip: Don’t use bad tactics to cheat the system to get higher rankings. Not only is it wrong, but when Google finds out your business may get blacklisted.
