Most customers see your business first on Google.
Having a great Google presence is crucial because most people will see your business first on Google, and chances are they will be using a mobile device. You should treat it as importantly as your profile elsewhere on the internet, since you are rewarded for how much user-relevant information you provide.
Google’s “See Inside” feature is one of the most important components of making sure people’s impression of you is a good one, and it allows you to shine where it matters most: local search results. Hundreds of thousands of businesses across the U.S. have already added this feature, millions worldwide, and we are adding more every day.
Types of businesses we have added: restaurants, hotels, stores, medical offices, churches, auto dealerships, beauty salons, funeral homes, schools, bars, charter yachts, and more.
Why would a business owner want this?
You should regard your Google Maps Business Profile just like any other business profile you may have on the internet, such as a LinkedIn account. But this profile is special because it is the one used by Google and Google Maps to display your business in an interactive way to web users and, even more importantly, mobile users.
This is extremely important because mobile searches are one of the most widely used platforms today. If you want success in the growing market of mobile searches, you need to develop your presence within those search results.
Google keeps track of how much of your Google Maps business profile you have completed. The more you have completed in your business profile, the more that can show up in search results. It is a simple and powerful visibility advantage.
How much does it cost?
