The Power of Google Search
Think about it.

“There’s an economic impact to Google Maps. Its rating and recommendation system, targeted at restaurants, stores, and even government institutions, allows users to rate the quality of said places…Google Maps is big enough to decide the economic fate of a business… “

The “Gold” happens when your listing attracts customers!
Having a Google My Business account lets you claim ownership of your business and verify it truly is a business. The fact that you have claimed and verified your business, enhances your legitimacy, authority, and expertise. More significantly, you then have ownership of the listing and can manage how your business appears in Google Searches and Maps. Your ownership allows you to post valuable content, monitor and reply to customer reviews, and add photos and videos. By managing the content posted on your business listing, you increase the visibility of your business and as a result, get found by more potential clients.
Your consistent involvement increases the number of people who find you.
You control the information entered into your business account with a few careful tweaks of the keywords used and business descriptions displayed. With this in carefully researched control you improve where your business ranks on the page in a search in comparison with competitors in your niche. Your marketing message can be directed to the customer you want to attract.

Is your business account on Google set to go? Your Google My Business listing is as good as the content you post and optimize.
After working with several clients, I’ve discovered a few tips and ideas that I want to share. I cannot guarantee these will put you at #1 in the search engines; search components keep changing and your competitors will be working on their sites as well.
What I can do is give you a running start. I can help you tweak several things you may not have realized affect your Google page ranking and ultimately getting new clients. When you own your Google My Business listing you are able to add additional relative items, manage the reviews (I’ve got a suggestion), and increase the amount of content that is attracting new clients. You take control.
