On the web. On social networks.<\/span><\/p>\n Now we have to wait for you to enter our online store.<\/span><\/p>\n And we wait.<\/span><\/p>\n Enter our cousin the web designer. He’s not buying.

Yet.<\/span><\/p>\n Google My Business allows your business to reach the place where your customers are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It is another free platform from Google.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With Google My Business, businesses can create informative profiles with:<\/span><\/p>\n This is the help that Google will give our business to increase online visibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When users search for local businesses or services on Google, businesses that are registered with Google My Business will appear in the SERPs (search results), providing important information about the business and its services.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]Pause for…<\/span><\/p>\n Why appear on Google?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Google dominates with 94% of all organic traffic on the internet.

It <\/span>tops<\/span><\/a> the list – without much competition – of search engines, followed by Amazon and Yahoo!<\/span><\/p>\n Are there more search engines? Of course, there are. You can and should use them. DuckDuckGo, for example, is recognized for prioritizing user privacy.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the case of our company, Super Legging, we are not looking for privacy, but for <\/span>reach<\/b>. And customers. And sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And so we turn to Google My Business.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Never forget to keep all the information up to date! It will help improve your company’s visibility in Google searches. Imagine what it’s like to think your favorite restaurant is open on the May 1 holiday. You go there and… closed restaurant. Knowing that many business owners do not communicate the exceptions to the rule, Google has already launched a warning, complete with red lettering, that there is a possibility that your search results for ‘Restaurants in Braga’ will be closed on May 1st.<\/span><\/p>\n How to optimize your Google My Business profile in 6 steps:<\/b><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I can see that you have some resistance to creating a profile on Google My Business because of the previous point 3: (public) customer\/user reviews. <\/span>Reviews<\/span><\/a> from your customers can provide valuable feedback for your business. You can respond to the reviews, which can help you gain the trust of customers.<\/span><\/p>\n Let’s not be pessimistic: there won’t always be complaints. A 5-star rating, a positive and recommended review for Google users, can make a difference for your company. Ratings and reviews influence customer decisions, increase visibility, and are useful feedback. Encourage your customers\/users to leave ratings and reviews on your Google My Business page.<\/strong> When you receive notifications of ratings posted on your profile, don’t panic!<\/span><\/p>\nSandra Caravana
