Thankyou to the team at Local Edge Advantage. As a small business owner, I've heard about every pitch from marketing agencies claiming to flood my business with high quality customers.

I reached out to these guys for advice on the most impactful actions I could do for my business for GMB listings, they laid out their best advice, gave me a framework I could use myself and didn't even pitch their own service. That's someone who's got the best intentions at heart and not focused on making money from everyone.

Why you Need a Google Business Profile showing on Google Maps and Google Search

Reliability of Search Results

Given that 91% of business searches happen on Google, with users often looking for the best local services, it’s vital for tradesmen to be prominently visible on this platform. Google not only helps in finding customers but also builds trust through reviews and ratings.

The Local Advantage

The trend of choosing local services over big brands is growing. Studies, like one from Birdeye, indicate that 67% of consumers prefer local businesses for their weekly needs. For tradesmen, being discoverable via Google is critical to tapping into this local preference.

Having a Google Business Profile is essential for tradesmen aiming to be easily found by local customers seeking their services.

Understanding Google Business Profile (Formerly Known as Google My Business)

Google Business Profile offers a no-cost, straightforward platform for tradesmen and small trade businesses to manage their online presence effectively across Google, including both Search and Maps. This essential tool allows tradespeople to share crucial business details, engage with potential customers, and improve their visibility in search results.

With millions of profiles across a wide range of categories, Google facilitates a significant opportunity for tradesmen to connect with their target audience and establish a strong online presence. It’s noteworthy that despite the rebranding to Google Business Profile in 2021, the term “Google My Business” remains widely used.

Maximizing Your Google Business Profile

Why It Matters for Tradesmen

A Google Business Profile goes beyond a simple listing; it becomes a pivotal tool for growth. It enhances your SEO, making your business more discoverable, provides a platform for customer interaction, and allows you to showcase your services and projects effectively.

Getting Discovered

Optimizing your profile can significantly boost your business’s online visibility, helping Google accurately present your services to potential customers, which is especially beneficial for tradesmen looking to stand out in local searches.

Engaging with Customers

The profile enables tradesmen to share up-to-date business information, communicate directly via Google Messages, and even let customers book appointments straight from Google, offering a seamless interaction that can significantly enhance customer satisfaction.

Services and Special Offers

Tradesmen can use Google My Business to announce special offers, new services, or updates, directly reaching those searching for local trade services, thereby increasing engagement and business opportunities.

Building Trust with Reviews on Google Maps

Active engagement on your Google Business Profile, including generating and responding to reviews, establishes credibility and trustworthiness, encouraging more customers to choose your services over competitors.

For tradesmen, leveraging Google Business Profile effectively means not just increased visibility, but also an enhanced reputation, better customer engagement, and ultimately, business growth.

Top 10 Optimization Strategies for Google Business Profiles to Show at the top of Google Maps and Google Search

1. Refresh Business Information Regularly

Your digital storefront’s first impression is based on your Google Business Profile. Keep your business name, address, and phone number current to ensure clients can locate you. Update your profile whenever there’s a change in business hours, services, or contact information.

Photos and videos significantly enhance your profile. Upload high-quality images of your work, team, and premises. Google states that profiles with photos receive 42% more requests for directions and 35% more website visits.

Ensure your service list is comprehensive. This improves your visibility in searches and can enhance the click-through rate to your website.

If applicable, use the Product editor to showcase your products. Detailed descriptions help customers understand what you offer.

Keep your audience engaged with updates about your services, offers, or events through Google Posts. This direct line of communication is invaluable for promoting your trade services.

Monitor and respond to questions on your profile. Providing clear, accurate answers helps build your reputation and ensures potential clients receive reliable information.

Reviews enhance your profile’s visibility and credibility. Promptly and professionally respond to all reviews to show that you value customer feedback.

Use the Chat feature to directly communicate with clients. Timely responses to inquiries can improve customer service and engagement.

For services requiring appointments, integrate booking capabilities. This feature simplifies the process for clients to engage with your services directly from your profile.

Review your profile’s insights regularly. Understanding how clients interact with your profile can guide your marketing and service offerings.
