Key Takeaways

✦

Audit your Google Business Profile (GBP) for consistency in name, address, and phone number (NAP) across all online listings, as inconsistencies signal untrustworthiness to Google.

✦

Regularly update your GBP with new photos (weekly is ideal), showing team members, processes, and finished projects, to signal relevance to Google and potential customers.

✦

Utilize the 'updates' or 'posts' feature on your GBP like mini social media posts, tagging locations and services, and linking back to your website to boost your visibility.

✦

Respond to every Google review promptly (within 24 hours), whether positive or negative, to demonstrate customer care and professionalism to future clients.

✦

Integrate asking for Google reviews into your project closeout process, making it a standard step when customers are most satisfied, to consistently gather feedback.

✦

Delegate GBP management tasks like photo uploads, post creation, and review responses to a VA, office manager, or admin to ensure consistent activity without burdening yourself.

✦

Challenge yourself to get three new Google reviews within the next seven days by proactively calling past satisfied customers and sending them direct links.
