Keeping up to date with your Google Business Profile (GBP) is extremely important for your business. This gives Google all the information they need to know in order to display your business in the local pack (map pack).
When searching for a service in Google, you will see this map of businesses before you see the organic rankings (websites):
There are many factors that factor in ranking in the local pack, but the one that will be first and foremost is proximity of where the user is located while searching.
Another big factor is your business's star rating and number of reviews. The higher the rating, and the more reviews your business has, the better chance your business will be ranking higher than your competition.
Other factors include your address, website, hours, services...there's so many! But the biggest factors will be proximity and star rating/reviews.
TMS is dedicated to making sure your GBP is filled out to the best of completion and with the right keywords just not to satisfy Google, but to be more useful for those searching for your business - your potential clients.
New! We also monitor your Google Business Profile and will be able to detect if Google has made edits to your profile. If there are important changes, for example, your hours, we will reach out to you right away to confirm that you wanted these changes or if we should discard the changes made by Google.
