Reaching Local Customers with Google Business
Google Business listings help people find your business when performing an online search for your products or services. The information located in each listing is prominent in Google search, often being the first result appearing at the top of the page. Some basic business details are automatically included; however, it is up to the business owner to review their listing and address any inaccuracies. Incorrect details in your listing could lead to customer frustration and potentially lost revenue.
