Google My Business Management Services

Google is the biggest marketplace for businesses in today’s date, and that’s precisely why you need to take special efforts for your Google listings, including Google My Business Account Management. Whenever a local customer searches for a product/service that you offer, your Google My Business listing is the first thing they see.
Socinova can help you turn a simple glance into a potential business lead. With our expert Google My Business management services, we manage your profiles efficiently, help you reach customers faster, and experience healthy business growth.

What is Google My Business?

Google launched a Business Profile feature for businesses to increase their visibility a few years ago. Your profile is listed to appear in the local results of Google Search and can also be navigated through Google Maps. Getting your listing done is a simple procedure, and all it needs is the name, location, and category of your business to set up your profile. Once it’s all verified by Google, your business profile is open to customers, and they can drop their reviews, add photos, or even ask and answer questions.

But, to use it to its full potential as an effective SEO and lead generation tool, every business needs to understand its capabilities. Google My Business (GMB) is a unique and free tool that helps promote businesses and use their ‘Google Business Profile’ to its ultimate advantage – getting more inquiries. It is particularly beneficial for promoting local businesses. The tool can be distinguished from others because of the number of details that go into the listing.

You get to attain management rights to your profile, customise and manage information, use additional free features, and enhance your visibility. If you aren’t using it to engage your customers, you might miss some great opportunities.

Here are a few exciting features of Google My Business that your local business can take advantage of with Socinova’s management services.

Business Category

The category of your business is the most critical factor in terms of ranking for a particular search term. Users can see the primary category with the location just below your name and will know your product/service instantly. e.g., It shows “Art studio in Montreal”. If you offer multiple services, you can always try entering different categories and test which category leads you in the most search appearances.

Reviews and Q&A

Google Reviews and Google Questions and Answers are powerful features, which are quite underrated. These two have prominent placement on your profile and can be great ways to know your customer. It helps if there are recent and descriptive reviews instead of just stars. We also help you by publishing some of the FAQs, even before a potential customer posts them.

Google Posts

The opportunities a post can present are endless. You may highlight your products, services, specials, events, or any upcoming launches. You can also make announcements for flash sales, exclusive discount codes, and even promote competitions. Every profile usually looks similar, but this feature helps you stand out. In addition, Socinova can create rich posts with catchy content and designs for your potential customers. This helps you in getting more engagement and business.

FAQ On Google My Business Management Services

Yes, if you’d like, we can switch Twitter for LinkedIn or something similar. We can support any 3 social networks from this list for the Starter package: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest and Google My Business. There will be no additional fee for this. Please get in touch with us in advance, so we can customise the package for you.
That’s fine. We can either skip them or replace them with any other social networks we support. We generally can’t provide a discount even if you’d like to include fewer networks in your package. The reason being – we still have to create equal amount of content as per your package, whether for one or six social networks.
Yes. They are yours, after all! We’ll take care of your social media, but you can always engage if you would like to!
As we give you direct access to the social media posting dashboard (Regular plan and above), we don’t send content separately for review. You or the client can log in to the dashboard anytime to check all the scheduled content and let us know if any edits should be made. One round of edits is totally fine and if there’s any mistake from our side we’re happy to do additional revisions.

Photos

As the saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words. In this case, you also have control over them because photos can be uploaded both by the business and the customers. Photos on your profile give a glimpse to your audience and can make a huge difference. We also follow the crucial guidelines set by Google so that the photos are not taken down.

Attributes

Attributes are simple statements or phrases that give a little more information about your business, which can help users take a quick decision. e.g., If a place has outdoor seating or is pet-friendly, ‘outdoor seating’ and ‘pet friendly’ can be important attributes to be considered. 

There are two types of attributes – factual and subjective. Factual are those which are set by you and cannot be meddled with by customers. Important examples of factual attributes are a specific mode of payment acceptable by you, if there’s valet parking, or if your business is wheelchair accessible. Subjective attributes are those that come from customers who may have answered questions about your business on Google Apps.

Google My Business Insights

The Insights section is a wonderful feature that helps you look at the performance data centre. Check out how people find your business and which actions they take after landing on your business. This comes in handy when you’re analysing your performance while you’re trying on different features.

How do we use Google My Business as an effective tool?

We start by optimizing your listing with essential elements like a custom description, correct map location, etc., and then move on to more details mentioned below. Not only do we target top ranking factors, but we also cover a few off-page optimisation techniques that are becoming important in today’s SEO game.

Here are a few benefits of choosing Socinova’s Google My Business management services.

Direct Customer Engagement

GMB listings are an excellent opportunity for you to interact with your customers and show them who you are. You will be judged by your posts, the frequency of your updates, and whether you are listening to them or not. Your target audience may land on your business profile and hence may ask questions or upload reviews. You, as a business, can interact with them, answer their questions, enable direct messaging, set up alerts, and respond to their reviews.

Leave these worries to us. We will ensure that your target audience landing on your profile is given all the information and responded well on time. We will keep your brand reputation up and work towards solidifying customer relationships with our personalized response strategies. We will also curate rich posts and publish them on your profile to engage your customers periodically.

Get the Right Attention

A Business Profile will display limited information, but you can always provide more information through the Google My Business account dashboard. The dashboard enables us to add work timings, products and pricing, links to your website, and other details. We want your customers to get all the information at a single glance. We will monitor these details and make timely edits or updates to the information as per your need. 

Tracking Made Easier 

The Google My Business dashboard also gives an insight into the local search performance and activity of your audience. We can check if a customer has found you on Google Search or Google Maps and how your uploaded photos are performing compared to your competitors of the same category. We can even see the keywords that help customers find your business and a breakdown of actions taken on your listing. We can use all these analytics to your benefit and use a suitable strategy to promote your business. Not only that, but we’ll also share the reports with you and compare results to mark the growth.

Better Local SEO

Similar to how Google has algorithms for ranking its ads and websites, Business Profiles also rank similarly. We can use this as a benefit by using the right keywords in your profile and optimize to rank better in local results. We make sure to increase your online reputation and rankings with the right strategy!

Guidelines Followed & Reduced Spam 

We will always make sure that we are following all the guidelines set by Google while we are promoting your business. Not only that, but we will also be reporting your competitors if they are violating the policies or participating in GMB spam. We will keep reviewing the Google Maps landscape and check for tactics like fake addresses, multiple listings, keyword stuffing that are used to manipulate SEO results. We also update user-suggested and automated changes periodically so that there is no threat to your listing. There won’t be any need for you to worry about dealing with all the location issues or other problems coming from the ‘Suggest an edit’ option.

Ranking Benefits

Google Local Pack is another feature where three business listings are shown in response to search queries. These listings are other than the organic search results. They are taken from the Google My Business directory and include a map of the relevant area. The ‘More Places’ link opens up the Google Local Finder, which has the whole list of local businesses. 

Ranking in this section is important and depends on the relevance of the business to the query and the distance between the person’s and the business’ location. Hence, we make efforts to increase the prominence of your business by working on your profile.
