We came across this infographics by Headway Capital who have produced a infographics about how to stand out on google with a google my business listing. They say: ” Google Listing has been around since June 2014, Google My Business has truly coming of age at the start of 2019, in part due to the closure of Google+ on April 2nd. But with brands utilizing social media and other forms of online marketing to make a splash, small business owners may be wondering what Google My Business can do for them – and how to go about establishing a profile.
The fact is that 4 out of 5 customers use search engines such as Google to find out local information, and 85% trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations.
So for business owners having the power to manage what comes up about them in search results is a big, big deal. Small businesses can catch customers’ attention in the search results, manage their own reputation, and reap the rewards of cleaner, bolder web presence.”
