Why It's Critical for Local Businesses

1

Show Up in Local Map Pack

When someone searches "plumber near me" or "dentist in Spokane," Google shows a map with 3 top businesses. An optimized Google Business Profile gets you into that coveted top 3 spot, putting you front and center for local customers.

2

Build Trust Instantly

Reviews, photos, and complete business information create instant credibility. Customers are 2.7x more likely to consider your business reputable if you have a complete Google Business Profile with positive reviews.

3

Get More Calls & Visits

Your profile includes a "Call" button, directions, and your website link. Make it easy for customers to contact you, and you'll see a dramatic increase in phone calls, driving directions requests, and website clicks.

4

Track Your Performance

See how many people found you through Google, what search terms they used, and what actions they took. These insights help you understand your customers and refine your marketing strategy.
