**If you didn’t already know, Google changed the name of Google My Business to Google Business Profile a little over a year ago. The only reason I used the term “Google My Business” in the title of this article is that the number of people searching for “Google my business” is way higher than the number of people using “Google Business profile”

Since the title of a blog article is a very important ranking factor, it just made sense if I wanted my article to rank high and attract more visitors. AND this is your very first Google My business SEO lesson**.

    Welcome to the first installment of my 10 part blog series on effective Google Business Profile (Google My Business) management! In this series, We’ll explore the ins and outs of managing your Google My Business profile to enhance your online presence and attract more customers.

    In today’s digital world, establishing a strong online presence is vital for businesses of all sizes. That’s where Google My Business (GMB) comes in.

Local businesses that optimize their Google My Business profile, have increased their visibility in local search results, ranking and gained a competitive edge in their industry. Our clients see an average increase in local search rankings of 70% per location. This means that businesses with complete GMB profiles; photos, videos, respond to reviews, etc are 70% more likely to appear higher in search results.

    Why is effective GMB management so important?
