Professional Google Maps Marketing & Optimization

We see an increasing number of people using Google Maps to find the nearest brick-and-mortar stores. Now, more than ever, it’s important for businesses to capture the opportunity to make themselves prominent on Google Maps so that customers can find them easily. Failing to act could mean that businesses find themselves losing customers to rivals listed on the navigation platform.

People today look for their favorite stores on Google Maps when they’re already out and about. This lets customers drive to their destinations without needing to plan ahead.

This is very important as it allows businesses aware of this trend to tap into the market where customers aren’t planning ahead. This is a stark contrast to where other online marketing techniques such as search engine optimization and pay-per-click campaigns. Both target customers who plan ahead by doing their research online. In other words, Google Map marketing & optimization campaigns are effective at tapping into an online market that is hitherto, for the most part, untapped.

Local Map SEO helps businesses retain existing customers and attract new ones.

Being listed on Google Maps allows businesses with brick-and-mortar stores to capitalize on this opportunity to attract customers to their stores and increase sales. This helps businesses with their goals of retaining customers.

But Google Maps optimization isn’t only good for retaining customers. It can also help potential customers find you. Sometimes, it can also help you convince your rivals’ customers to shop from your business instead.

Google local maps SEO, as some call it, takes a number of things into consideration for a business to get listed. We’ve listed a number of them below:

• Is a client’s Google My Business page verified? Google loves it when a business has their Google My Business Page verified.
• The client’s ratings evaluation on their My Business page, as well as whether it’s optimized.
• “Location, location, location!” That is to say, where is the business located in relation to the center of the town or the geolocation?
• The website’s domain authority and whether it’s linked to the My Business page.

There are, of course, a number of other factors that play a pivotal role in getting businesses on Google Maps. All these elements can help us plan a client’s overarching Google Maps marketing SEO campaign.
