GBP is:

  • The 2022 Yellow Pages – where your profile is viewed, then judged on its professionalism before the consumer “Let’s their finger do the walking ” and hits you up on the click-to-call feature.
  • Your online directory – with its consistent layout, consumers know where to see pictures of your location or fleet, and can immerse themselves in the content you have presented.
  • Your source for referrals – reviews are embedded into GBP and there nary a consumer choosing a new service provider, restaurant, repair facility or other company without reading a review first. 
  • Your Local SEO tool – GBP will drive new phone calls and website visits if your page is dynamic and inviting, or drive them to the competition if it’s not.
  • And so much more!
