Everyday a new website goes live on the internet creating more competition for your business, making it harder for your company to show up in search results when people search for services you provide. This means that your business has to work overtime to find new ways to make it stand out from the crowd.
A simple yet effective tactic your business can use is to create a Google Business Listing. A Google Listing is a free listing where you provide information about your business ranging from:
- Services you provide.
- Operation hours.
- Discounts and promotions.
- Pictures of your business.
- Your address, email and phone number.
- Your business website.
- Reviews from customers.
- Directions to your location.
It basically showcases your business and highlights everything about it.

When you create or claim your business on Google you make it easier for your customers to find you. You create a brand for your business and are able to manage your reputation more easily.
Recently there has been an increase in the use of mobile search. When anyone searches for anything online Google and other search engines customize and localize search results based on a person geographic location.
