10 Tips for optimising your Google Business Profile
1. Fill out ALL of the sections, phone number, website link, map locations.... every section!
2. Be specific, for example: select 'women's hair salon' instead of just 'salon'
3. Use targeted keywords matched to your services and location
4. Write a compelling description, remember this is an advert for your business
5. Ask every happy customer to leave a review.... everyone! bribe them if you have to, reviews are crucial
6. Don't use to many business categories, pick your main 2-3 services
7. Respond to positive reviews with a thank you
8. Respond to negative reviews professionally even if the customer is in the wrong
9. Set up messaging to help customers contact you
10. Update the profile regularly, photos, posts or events. Monthly posts work well to keep things fresh
TIP: Be cautious when changing a lot of information on your GBP at one time, changing things like location, address or main category can often lead to revivification notice which mean you will need to do a live video call with Google at your premises or send a video to Google with certain criteria.
