90% of smartphone users say they search online to find a local business, making your Google My Business profile extremely important. Did you know that your profile shows up before your webpage on Search?
Hence, as a business owner or marketing manager, your Google My Business profile should be familiar to you. No matter how big or small your business is.

Through Google My Business you can connect with your customers in a meaningful way and thereby also boost inquiries, calls, website visits, and calls.
