Everyone knows when it comes to Internet searches, Google is King.

You know you need it but have no clue how to manage it. That is why having a customized online business listing management program is becoming an essential part of everyone’s marketing strategy.

Let’s Break Down What Online Business Listing Management Is

When you’ve searched for a service, product, or company on Google , you most likely have seen an online business listing, otherwise known as Google My Business. This is a convenient widget on Google that allows customers to easily call your company, visit your website, see your hours of operation, find your business on a map, and more. The problem is, not every business has its online business listing properly set up. A mismanaged or missing online business listing frustrates users, make your brand invisible and even worse, can make your business appear illegitimate! The end result, sending customers to the next option that they CAN FIND online.

Some may assume that someone who’s searching for a product or service on Google is looking specifically for online-based vendors. While yes, Google does show eCommerce results, local businesses also can successfully rank on Google’s first page, especially if that business has an online listing.

As a business owner, you know how valuable a positive five-star review is for your company. Not only does that positive experience increase the chance that you’ll get repeat business from that individual, but these endorsements can also draw in new business. Now, what does this have to do with online business listings?

Well, business listings make online reviews more accessible. When a customer is shopping around for different businesses that do what you do, having your online business listing up to date and in working order will help your company attract more leads.
