Getting Started

Google might have already started it for you. This could be good or bad for your business. There may be inaccurate information up there that is inconveniencing customers and killing online leads.

Does a My Business listing pop up when you Google search your business name? If so, you’ll have to claim it when you fill out the My Business account form. There may be a delay, as Google will have to verify you as the business owner.

Your online presence is essential for enabling customers to connect with you. Make sure your information is accurate and available, effortlessly and immediately, when its your businessthat people are searching for.

Once your card pops up, everybody who searches your business will instantly know the hours, address, and phone number for your business.They’re also one click away, literally, from getting directions, saving the info for quick reference, or jumping to your business website.

The My Business card does what all SEO does,what all effective marketing does. It connects your product and/or services to the people who need it most. The best part is just how little it requires from them. Prospects, naturally, are going to move further down your sales funnel if they don’t have to put in effort and time.
