Are You Taking Advantage Of The Google My Business Listing Benefits?
If you are not, now is the right moment to consider creating and optimizing a business listing. A lot of local business owners underestimate the power of this small but incredibly beneficial tool. Or they just create a Google My Business listing and leave it as it is – without any business information or without photos, without posting updates or without monitoring the reviews. This can cause enormous damage to your online reputation. Thanks to our experience of more than 7 years in Google My Business we create, verify and manage your listing, so it supports your business growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can anyone really make changes to my Google My Business Listing?
Yes. Even though it doesn’t seem fair to most business owners, random people can suggest a change or an edit to your business listing, including your competition. These user-generated changes can be made live on your listing, and you might not even be notified the changes have been made. This includes changing your physical business location.
Can you remove a fake review from my listing?
If it is really a fake review and not a bad review you just don’t like, there are a few things we can do. However, bear in mind Google has the rights to deny the review removal. In this case, we have to think of a workaround action.
Can you show my listing on Google’s first page for the whole city?
It depends on your business field and your physical address. The idea behind Google My Business is to show the searcher the closest local business to their location. If you are a restaurant in a large city and someone is searching for “restaurants near me”, but this person is on the opposite side of the city, the chances are, you won’t rank.
How much does this service cost?
We will analyze if you already have a Google My Business listing and if it is optimized to some point, or we need to start everything from scratch. Then we will discuss how many locations does your business have. Do you have only one physical address or you are a chain with a few locations? This will affect the price and we aim to give our customers the most accurate price for our time and effort.
If I rank with my listing, should I care about my website?
Definitely yes! Your listing’s performance is tightly connected to your website’s performance. If you have a good and optimized website, your listing will show on more search queries. If you neglect your website, it will be very difficult to rank your listing. This is why we recommend optimizing both simultaneously.
