GMB (Google My Business) optimization is the process of optimizing your GMB listing and leveraging it for more sales. While many companies claim their GMB listing, they tend to overlook the importance of optimization. This is tantamount to developing a website but forgetting to create product/service pages.

An optimized GMB listing helps Google find, crawl, index, and rank a local business. This plays a central role in helping your business attract high-quality traffic and build a wide audience base.

At Search Berg, we use an innovative GMB optimization process to improve your company’s online presence.

Google My Business makes it much easier for local web users to find your business. By sharing essential business information (name, address, phone number, website, business hours, etc.) and optimizing your listing, you can maximize your chances of appearing in the Google 3-Pack.

The Google 3-Pack displays the top three search results for a local search. Why does earning a spot on it matter? Because the top three search results on Google earn a whopping 75.1% of all clicks.

If your business is listed on the second or third page, your click-through rate will be significantly lower. In fact, 75% of people never scroll past the first SERP (Search Engine Ranked Page).

In a nutshell, Google My Business is a powerful asset for your business. By optimizing your listing, you can easily expand your audience and enjoy high sales.

Our GMB optimization specialists use a wide range of innovative, effective, and actionable strategies to help local businesses rank higher.

Our state-of-the-art software, resources, expertise, and extensive experience enable us to deliver incredible results that can be easily sustained in the long run.

• Ensuring NAP accuracy and consistency

Cornerstone works with English speaking clients all over the world. There may be some restrictions on what we can do depending on your location, but our savvy team will always provide you the best solution attainable.

Some clients have had an immediate impact within a few weeks, but this is a long-term strategy, so it takes on average 3-8 months. This will depend on your location, your other digital marketing strategies, and a few other factors.

While most local SEO companies charge an exorbitant sum, we’ve taken a different approach at Cornerstone. Our local SEO services start from as little as $199.

We take the time to assiduously understand each client’s specific requirements and goals. Our local SEO experts create an individualized strategy based on our analysis. This helps each business dominate their respective industry instead of receiving a one-size-fits-all plan. By focusing on creating and executing niche-specific solutions, we help our clients attract qualified local traffic and establish a winning online presence.

Yes! Whether you’re a home-based business or a service-area business, you can list your business details to appear on Google with or without a physical address.

Any business owner can claim a listing via Google My Business. There is no cost to have a Google My Business listing, and there is no cost to set it up. The key is knowing the best practices, having a process for implementation, and saving your valuable time. That’s where experts, like us, can take away the frustration of trying to figure it all out.

Yes, it is. And it all comes down to time and expertise. The time and expertise needed to fully and properly set it up and manage it can be daunting, especially if digital marketing isn’t your strength. If you have time and have a measure of comfort with technology, you can find videos and PDFs and lots of Google support pages and communities that will help you do all of this with only your time commitment. Add to it that your Google Profile is reasonably intuitive. That said, it’s still going to take you hours on top of hours of YouTube watching and document reading to accomplish what we’ll do with you in a quick 2-hour session. In the end, it’s totally up to you.

Google My Business gives you the power to attract and engage customers when they search for your business on Google. Your Business Profile gives you a presence on Google Search and Maps, allowing you to respond to Reviews, post photos of products or special offers, and add/edit your business details. Your Google business website lets you present your business professionally online, showcasing your photos and business details in a beautiful way. Insights show you how you can optimize your customer engagement for better results, and you can encourage more engagement by interacting with your customers from the Customers tab.
