Attention business owners! Are you overlooking the importance of verifying your Google Business listing? Let's dive into why this step is crucial for your online presence.
Hi, I'm Kelsey, an Entrepreneur and Google Certified Expert. Today, I want to emphasize the significance of verifying your Google My Business listing.
You might think, "Why bother? It's a hassle, and my listing exists anyway." But here's the thing: Google holds considerable sway online, commanding around 93% of the search engine market share. Your customers likely do even if you don't use it as your primary search engine. And to ensure Google treats your business right, you've got to play by their rules.
Google emphasizes that verifying your listing boosts accuracy and credibility, affirming your business's legitimacy. This enhances visibility and search rankings and grants you control over your business information on Google. By verifying, you prevent unauthorized changes to crucial details like your hours or address and gain access to valuable features like photo uploads and review responses. Plus, only verified listings can appear on Google Maps.
From an SEO standpoint, verification is a game-changer. It boosts your relevance in local search, ultimately contributing to better rankings.
