Optimize your profile

Now that you’ve created your Google MyBusiness listing, it’s time to optimize it. You can do this by making sure your profile photo is professional looking and consistent across all social media platforms. Your business name must also be the same on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as it is on Google MyBusiness.

Keep the address of your business up-to-date so that customers can find you easily when they search for information about where to eat in their area.

Make sure that all of the necessary information about your business (hours of operation, phone number, etc.) is included in its description as well as any special offers or discounts available for customers who visit either online or in person at one of the locations closest to them via GPS coordinates displayed below each entry within each category (i.e., Restaurants).

Create an enticing call to action using words such as “Coupons Available Here!” “Free Delivery!” Or something similar so people know exactly what they can expect once they click through to more detailed listing pages

Tips and Tricks

Here are a few tips and tricks for getting the most out of Google MyBusiness:

Make sure your business name is clear and easy to find. If you have multiple locations, make sure each location has its own page (that's why we use mybusiness.google.com/addresses).

Use the correct category—this helps people find you when they're looking for something specific in your industry or area.

Provide the accurate address and phone number information so that customers can easily get in touch with you by phone or email if they need anything further than what's already listed on your site (don't forget about other ways people might want to contact you like social media).

Add photos of your business location(s) so potential customers can see what they're getting into before they walk through those doors!

Add a video tour of one of your stores/locations where possible; this really helps people feel connected with who runs the place! You could also add footage from inside some of these locations like an employee talking about what it's like working there too—you could even interview them beforehand if needed just so everything goes smoothly during filming time itself! Another great tip would be adding any special deals going on right now such as discounts on food items currently available only at certain times during weekdays only until next Tuesday 9 AM-noonish PST then again after lunchtime until closing time 5 PM PST...

Conclusion

Although the process can be time-consuming, it’s worth the effort. Imagine being able to track your business’ progress and have a better understanding of where your customers are coming from. You can also optimize your website so that people searching for local businesses will find you faster than ever before!
