[Webinar] Google My Business: Growing with Statusbrew

If you're familiar with the term Google my Business, you may be aware that GMB is the most effective one-stop solution for businesses to manage their online presence across Google Search and Maps. Google My Business has made it easier for businesses to interact with old and new customers and convey how their business is one-of-a-kind.

It is one of the most powerful ways to improve a business' local search engine ranking and online visibility. If you're a local business, claiming your Google My Business profile is one of the first steps you should take to increase your company's online presence. Once you have your page live, Google lets you add several details like photos, videos, business hours, a description of your company, frequently asked questions and answers, customer reviews, appointment bookings, response to online reviews and more!

Let's discuss a few ways to grab your potential customer's attention using features offered by Google My Business:

The first and most effective way is by creating Google My Business posts. Google My Business posts are just like mini-ads for your business. Posts on GMB have been shown to increase traffic and improve search rankings. These posts can include a combination of images, text, and call to actions (CTAs) to creatively display your message to potential customers.

However, the fact that these Google My Business posts automatically expire after 7 days means that you have to continually go back into Google My Business and post something week after week, again and again.
