What Is Google Listing • Google refers to its Local Business Listing Platform as Google My Business. The resulting Google My Business listings include a Business’ Name, Address, Phone Number and Website. This business listing information is available through a variety of Google properties — including Google Maps. • In fact, Google My Business offers everything you need for a potential customer to find and use your services, buy your products or visit your business. Once you’ve registered or claimed your local business listing via the Google My Business dashboard, you can respond to customer reviews and add images to help your business stand out.
Google’s local listings are intrinsically tied to local SEO. • When users search for localized keywords/terms using Google, they will be presented with relevant local business listings, all tailored to the search term used.
Google My Business • Google My Business, which used to be known as Google Places, is a free online platform that Google provides. It has two purposes: to help business owners increase their online visibility and to help people find and review businesses in their local area. It’s effectively the most comprehensive and accessible business directory ever created.
When clicking on a business’s Google My Business listing, people can see the following: -- The business’s name, address and phone number. -- The business’s location on a map. -- The business’s opening hours. -- A link to the business’s website. -- Photos related to the business. -- Reviews of the business left by previous customers. -- A rating out of 5 for the business (based on scores given by previous customers).
