Local Search Engine Optimization St. Petersburg, Florida

Google My Business also known as GMB is a free social media profile for your business that includes Google Maps and local search results. When this profile is set up and verified your customers will start seeing your business in their local searches. GMB also has a status post feature similar to other social media platforms, that allows you to post updates and sales that searchers will see under your profile .

For local businesses GMB can make a huge difference and bring you more walk in clients. I’ve seen it first hand. If you’re ranked high in local searches and the maps section, you’re going to get calls and visits to your site. If you have things set-up properly and optimized it only gets better. Just having your local business categories entered in GMB, will get the ball rolling.

Google also includes insights (reporting) so you can see how many times you’re showing up in the results, what terms people are finding you under, if people are clicking to your website, calling or looking for directions.

This is great since you don’t even need to leave the GMB interface to see it.
