What is Google My Business?
Google My Business (GMB) is one of Google's many tools used by businesses and other organizations to manage their online presence in both Google Search as well as Google Maps. You simply claim your business if it's already added by someone to GMB or you can create a business listing for any business. As with many Google tools, this is FREE.
Why Use Google My Business?
Google is already an established search engine and widely used across the globe. This free online tool helps people find your business or organization. When doing a Google search for your keyword, Google will display all businesses with that keyword including your own business or organization. Being in GMB also helps improve your website's ranking!
Registering in Google My Business also helps you interact with your customers. You can personally reply to reviews plus you can post promos and updates about your business. Adding your business to GMB also increases your exposure for your company.
