Fulfilling a prediction in our previous blog The power of local marketing,<\/em> Google has launched their latest small-business marketing package; Google My Business<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What does Google My Business\u00a0do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Essentially a consolidation of several small business online tools, Google My Business builds on the idea that there\u2019s always someone looking for your products or services; it\u2019s just a matter of bringing the two parties together. Complementing your existing online presence (or lack of), the all in one package replaces Google Places for Business and Google+ Pages Dashboard to connect you and your customer in the simplest means possible over a variety of channels.<\/p>\n

How does it help your business?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To \u2018Get on Google\u2019 (as the action button says) is simple, enter your business details and you\u2019ll be set up in Google search, maps and Google+. Whether you\u2019re a \u2018Storefront\u2019, \u2018Service Area\u2019 or \u2018Brand\u2019 all businesses are catered to with customer insights and Google Ads Express included.
\nHere\u2019s where you\u2019ll see your Google My Business working for you:<\/p>\n

Google Search:<\/strong> Your next customer is always a click away and a successful search will yield all necessary information; hours, contact info, directions and images all controlled from the one online portal.<\/p>\n

Maps:<\/strong> Verified business information will appear in Maps, meaning customers can find you easily and access reviews and ratings on the go.<\/p>\n

Google+:<\/strong> Your business can connect with customers via the insights tool and share news, events and photos as well as read and respond to reviews.<\/p>\n

\"Fulfilling<\/a><\/p>\n

Customer Insights: <\/strong>Understand how your customers find and interact with your business. Whether it\u2019s via one of the channels above or other means, insights as well as the integrated Google Ads Express will let you know.<\/p>\n

Feel a bit overwhelmed? You shouldn\u2019t. Designed for small businesses, not digital marketing agencies, the Google My Business dashboard shows all the relevant information on one page. Allowing you to identify and build upon what\u2019s working best while remaining relevant and visible.<\/p>\n

Of course everything you see here is accessible via a smart phone and tablet app so you can update your hours or upload photos while you\u2019re out of the office. The Google My Business App is available on Android<\/a> and is coming soon to iOS.<\/p>\n
