As you may have already observed, there are quite a few methods to search engine optimization. The power of these methods continues to ebb and flow as Google modifies its algorithm and ranking factors. For example, once upon a time, multiple backlinks on websites with high domain authorities were the most effective way to get your website to rank higher. Now, consistently posting keyword-infused content and regularly optimizing your Google My Business listing is helping more and more businesses get noticed.
We know accomplishing this isn’t as simple as some make it sound. It can take a lot of time and dedication to thoroughly research, create, and update such items. A digital marketing company that stays well informed on Google’s algorithm can help you tackle these methods the right way. But first, you need to register your Google Business Profile and make sure all of your info is completely and correctly filled in. Keep reading to find out how doing so can positively affect your ranking and how we can help.
Essential SEO Ranking Factors on GMB
Perhaps you already have a Google Business Profile and you’re wondering why that hasn’t helped your SEO ranking. Optimizing your Google My Business listing and continuing to update it is the only way to harness the platform’s full potential. In order to fully optimize your GMB profile, each of your profile’s features needs to be filled in. These essential SEO ranking factors for your business include:
- Claiming your Business Profile.
- Completing each and every section of your account.
- Adding all of the ways customers can contact you.
- Selecting both primary and secondary categories.
- Filling in a complete ‘from the business’ description.
- Providing adequate hours of operation.
- Adding all of your products and/or services.
- Setting up messaging.
- Answering questions sent through your profile.
- Publishing posts on a weekly basis.
- Adding new images on a weekly basis.
- Collecting reviews regularly and responding to reviewers.
- Updating your Google My Business whenever anything in your business changes
All of these things will help Google to recognize you as an operating business that is customer approved and a good resource for your products and services. This is especially important if you’re looking to engage your local community and rise above the competition on search engines.
