Google My Business is great for local businesses that serve customers in a certain geographic area. They can be easily found through local searches on Google (e.g. coffee bars near me) or searches in Google Maps.

Google My Business can be a great resource for local SEO if you take the time to set it up correctly. By creating a complete profile for your business, including photos, descriptions, and ratings (if applicable), you will improve your website's visibility in search engines. In addition to this, Google My Business can help you connect with potential customers and suppliers through communication features. However, there are some caveats associated with using Google My Business for local SEO. First of all, make sure that all information is correct and updated regularly – mistakes can lower your website's ranking considerably. Secondly, don't expect miracles – while online reviews might boost traffic temporarily because they appear as targeted ads on your page(s), they are not indicative of long-term rankings success or growth. Finally, keep in mind that Google is constantly changing its algorithm so vigilance is key if you want to continue seeing positive results from using Google My Business!

I do private coaching (in person) and for this, Google My Business has been invaluable. People can see exactly where I operate and learn more about what I do. It also means locals can find me as easily as typing my services into Google Maps. Super easy to get reviews and testimonials, and easily linked to your website. The analytics are good for my purposes as well.
