How to Post to Google My Business

Quick and Easy

Many people would jump at the opportunity to market their business and advertise products, promotions, specials, events, and offers all for free. That is precisely why businesses of all kinds are jumping at the opportunity to create a Google My Business profile.

With GMB, you’ll obtain increased visibility for the most essential search phrases for your business and promote your brand to a larger audience – all without spending a cent. If you’re not utilizing GMB for your social media advertising efforts yet, what are you waiting for?

What is GMB?

If you’re not familiar with Google My Business (or GMB, for short) you should be! GMB is a free tool for companies and organizations to manage their online Google presence. It uses search queries and maps to help customers find what they are looking for—YOU! By authenticating your business, you can make it easier for consumers to find you, learn your story, and contact you.

On GMB, you can choose what all you want Google users to see when they search for your company and/or the services and products you provide. Details such as operating hours, street address, and website links may all be included. Customer reviews are also incorporated, where other users can read past reviews and you, as the business owner, may even reply to these reviews.

Why GMB Posts Are Important

GMB also allows you to post photos to your Business Profile. In fact, according to Google itself, businesses with pictures included on their profile receive 42% more inquiries for directions on Google Maps and 35% more clicks through to their websites than those without.

Regular posting can also drastically increase your Google ranking and thus, the engagement you receive from potential customers. These photos can show off anything from your building or office, employees, products, and so forth.
