Is your business on Local Maps? 82% of consumers use search engines first to find information.

Google research tells us that 4 in 5 consumers use Google to find local businesses and that these consumers typically visit a store or business within a day of searching for that business online.

Yet, according to Google, approximately 40% of local businesses have not claimed or optimised their Google My Business (GMB) page.

Many of these business owners don’t realise that this simple oversight is costing them customers.

Google only sends traffic to highly rated and optimised GMB profiles.

The businesses that have not claimed or optimised their GMB are losing customers and, as a result, they are losing business and income to competing businesses that do show up on Google My Business.

Are you happy that your potential customers are going to your competition?
