The list here is by no means exhaustive but provides a quick glimpse into valuable ways to ensure your business starts showing up on Google’s local listings and in all the places that prospective customers might be looking for your work.
Google My Business
The first major thing to do once your business is up and running is to ensure you are set up on Google My Business. Google My Business gives you tools to ensure that your new venture starts showing up in Google Search results and Google Maps, along with Analytics and a platform to engage with your clients. Setting up your profile is a free, painless process that involves a quick verification process before you’re up and running.
There are some best practices to keep in mind when building out a business profile. First, be sure to be consistent with your business name, address, and phone number. These are important identifiers for local listings across the board, but it’s especially important to be consistent in the way your business is referenced as it helps both users and search engines to avoid confusion!
