By building a strong Google Business Profile and managing it effectively, you will positively contribute to your local SEO ranking efforts, which helps your business become more visible in local search results. To rank as highly as possible, it is important to first verify your account and then update all information regularly to make sure it accurately reflects your business.

Using the analytics tools provided by Google Business Profile, you are able to gather useful insights about the people who are searching for your business. For example:
Not only are reviews important to attract new customers and establish a friendly and approachable business, but Google tends to favour and rank higher websites with positive reviews. It is crucial to stay focused on encouraging reviews from recent customers and respond to those you receive, to boost your social appearance and authority.
