Google Business
The Challenge
Businesses and non-profits that are not registered on Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) face significant disadvantages in today’s digital marketplace. This free tool from Google allows organizations to manage their online presence across Google, including Search and Maps. By not leveraging this platform, businesses and non-profits miss out on several key opportunities:
Visibility: Without a Google Business Profile, organizations are less visible in local searches, which can significantly limit their discoverability. Most consumers turn to Google to find information about businesses and services near them. A profile increases the chances of appearing in these searches, directly influencing foot traffic and local engagement.
Credibility and Trust: A Google Business Profile provides essential business details like location, hours of operation, and customer reviews. Potential customers often gauge a business’s credibility based on this information and the presence of recent, positive reviews. Organizations without such a profile may appear less credible or outdated, deterring potential clients or donors.
Customer Insights and Engagement: Google Business Profile offers valuable insights into how customers interact with the business online, including how they found the listing and what actions they took. These insights can help businesses and non-profits understand customer behavior better and refine their marketing strategies accordingly. The platform also allows direct customer engagement through Q&A and review responses, fostering a community feel and demonstrating active customer service.
SEO Benefits: Having a well-maintained Google Business Profile can also enhance search engine optimization (SEO), making it easier for organizations to rank higher in search results. This is particularly vital for local SEO, where the aim is to appear as high as possible in the search results for local queries.
In the end, not utilizing Google Business Profile can lead to reduced visibility, lessened trust and credibility, missed engagement opportunities, and a disadvantage in SEO efforts. These factors combined can mean missing out on potential customers, donors, and opportunities for growth and impact.
