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
