Attracting new customers online is not always an easy task. Finding your audience and ranking higher in search results<\/a> can be more complicated than you expect. However, with organic search driving 53% of web traffic<\/a>, maximizing your online presence is crucial if you want to grow your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are many steps you can take, creating a strong Google Business Profile<\/a> is one easy way to boost your digital visibility. A fully-optimized listing can help you reach potential clients, scale your business<\/a>, and generate more quality leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This post will discuss what a Google Business Profile is and how an optimized business listing can benefit your web presence. Then we\u2019ll describe five of the tool\u2019s newest features and how they can fuel lead generation. Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Google Business Profile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Google Business Profile is an online tool that allows you to take charge of how your company appears on Google. This platform was formerly known as Google My Business (GMB), but in 2021 Google announced that it was updating GMB and rebranding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This change is still in progress. Overall, it aims to simplify profile management and make Google Business listings more accessible for small businesses. However, Google Business Profile still helps all<\/span> business owners to create an online presence and connect with customers:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

A Google Business Profile allows you to list the name and location of your company on Google Maps and Search. These listings can display further relevant information, such as your hours of operation, phone number, and your website’s domain name<\/a>. The top Business Profile listings appear when a user types a query into Google Search, Google Maps, or Google Shopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All businesses that have a physical location or come in contact with customers can create a listing. Unfortunately, online-only businesses don\u2019t currently qualify. However, if you meet the minimum requirements, it is completely free to create and maintain a listing. This makes it one of the great tools for small businesses<\/a> with minimal marketing budgets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you sign up for your Business Profile, you can edit it to provide essential information and media in the knowledge panel<\/a>. This is an automatically-generated information box that appears on Google when you conduct a search. A fully-optimized Google Business Profile will typically look similar to this:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Google<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Google Business Profiles\u2019 extensive features help advertise your business<\/a> and find more customers online. You can also save time and energy by providing important details ahead of time. For instance, if you post your business hours, you\u2019ll likely reduce customer questions about what hours you\u2019ve available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When creating your listing, it\u2019s wise to include as much information as possible. That way, you\u2019re answering customer questions before they arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We highly recommend including all the basics, plus anything else that makes your business stand out. You can also provide information for special attributes, such as accessibility, activities, and dining options:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"King<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Furthermore, you can upload photos and videos of your business\u2019s location, products, and services. There is also a feature that allows you to accept orders, quotes, and bookings directly from your listing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your profile is also a place to interact with potential customers. They can use the Ask a question<\/span> button or leave reviews about their experiences. The instant messaging feature even lets you chat directly with users to quickly answer questions and assist with any concerns directly from your account. However, you will need to enable this feature<\/a> before you can use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How a Google Business Profile Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Generate More Leads with a Google Business Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Google Business Profile improves local Search Engine Optimization (SEO)<\/a> for your business. If your listing is fully-optimized, your business is more likely to appear when customers make a related search using Google Maps, Google Search, or Google Shopping. That alone can generate plenty of new leads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Google holds most of the search engine market<\/a> share, it\u2019s extremely likely that potential customers will see your Google Business Profile when they search for products and services. For listed businesses, Google\u2019s search rankings are determined by relevance, distance, and quality. Therefore, ensuring that your listing includes the correct business name, location, and phone number is critical. You might also want to encourage customer testimonials<\/a> in the review section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way people shop. Many consumers now plan ahead and conduct a Google search to ensure that products are available before leaving their houses. In fact, the number of \u201cAvailable near me\u201d searches has grown by more than 100%<\/a> since 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google Business Profiles appear in the \u201c3-pack\u201d area of local search results. This is comprised of the three business listings Google displays when a user conducts a \u201cnear me\u201d or \u201cnear [location]\u201d search:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Local<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If your listing is optimized for your Google Business location and you have solid reviews, the 3-pack feature can send leads your way. In fact, customers are 70% more likely<\/a> to visit a business and 50% more likely to consider purchasing from it if it has a complete Business Profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 New Google Business Profile Listing Features for 2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Along with general improvements, the updated Google Business Profile account offers several new features. Google should continue rolling out more developments over the coming year. In the meantime, let\u2019s take a closer look at some of the latest updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Simplified Profile Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most prominent characteristics of the new Google Business Profile is the way it is managed. Previously, most Google My Business listings had to be created and maintained through your account or the GMB mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Google Business Profile is designed with local businesses in mind. Now, you can verify, edit, and manage your business profile<\/a> directly in Google Search and Google Maps. Simply search for your company\u2019s name, and you will see an option to claim and verify your Business Profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new feature makes it easier to get your business on Google<\/a>. Once your profile is verified, you will be able to edit your details by clicking on Edit your business information.<\/span> From this page, you can list important information, such as your address and business hours. You will also see options for uploading photos and responding to customer reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This simplified management option can also help you edit your profile faster. Since an updated profile signals to Google that your listing is more relevant, you can more easily improve your SEO<\/a> and improve your chances of appearing in Google local 3-pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving forward, the website for Google My Business will be renamed Business Profile Manager, and its primary use will be for larger businesses with multiple profiles. Google My Business profile management will be available through Search and Maps. Google also plans to retire the Google My Business app in order to streamline account management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Customer Engagement Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The new Google Business Profile includes additional ways to engage with customers. Business owners have always had the ability to message customers and respond to reviews through GMB listings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Google has created a call history feature for businesses in the U.S. and Canada. This will allow you to see a list of calls you\u2019ve initiated, answered, or missed, right from your Google account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will also be able to send and receive messages directly from Search (with read receipts). As a result, customers will have a more direct way to reach you. With this tool, you may be able to provide a better customer service<\/a> experience and convert more prospective visitors into customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Opportunities to Display Your Inventory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If your business sells products, the new in-stock feature<\/span> is a great way to display your inventory and advertise to potential customers. This filter allows shoppers to see specific items that are in stock at nearby stores. When users see that products are available, they\u2019ll be more likely to visit your store and make a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to take advantage of this new feature, you\u2019ll need to sign up for Pointy<\/a>. This is a free tool that connects to your point of sale system and automatically updates your inventory<\/a>. Pointy uploads a product\u2019s title, image, and description directly to Google, by simply scanning the barcode:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

To do this, navigate to your Google Business Profile listing, click on Edit Profile<\/span>, and then select Products <\/span>from the drop-down menu. You can either add products with Pointy or upload products manually with Pointy\u2019s Product Editor<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Adding<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Automatic product uploads work best with items that have standard barcodes. If you sell products with non-standard barcodes, adding them manually is likely the best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Promotional Opportunities with Performance Planner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can also connect your Business Profile account with Google Ads<\/a> to take advantage of the new Performance Planner<\/a>. This tool enables you to create advertising plans and illustrates how campaigns affect your key metrics and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Performance Planner analyzes billions of queries each day and simulates relevant ad auctions to collect data and create forecasts. You can manage your budget, see campaign forecasts, explore possible outcomes, and gauge seasonal opportunities directly from the Performance Planner:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"The<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Once you connect your Business Profile to your Google Ads account, you can use your inventory to create local search campaigns<\/a> that display your ads in search results. These ads include images and product descriptions based on your inventory. This can help you easily generate leads by putting your relevant product ads in front of more prospective customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Expanded Attributes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When creating or updating your listing, you\u2019ll want to complete all applicable profile attributes<\/a> to be sure potential customers understand your business. Attributes are personalized descriptors and identifiers that show what your company offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attributes can vary depending on your Google Business categories. The most common attributes include Accessibility, Amenities, Payments, and Service Options. For example, if your business location is wheelchair-accessible, you can update your Accessibility attribute so customers will be aware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Health & Safety attribute is a relatively new option that was added due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This allows you to share important details, such as your mask guidelines and whether you have a temperature check policy in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a category titled From The Business, which allows you to share more about your leadership. In this section, you can highlight additional unique details about your company. For instance, if your business is women-led, veteran-led, or black-owned, you might want to include that information here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customers can then conduct a Google Search for a specific attribute. For example, when a potential customer searches \u201cblack-owned restaurant near me,\u201d they will only see results with this attribute:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Adding all applicable attributes to your Google Business Profile can optimize your listing and influence your local SEO. It can also help potential customers narrow down their search results, making it easier for them to choose your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get Started with a Google Business Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Getting started with Google Business is straightforward. However, Google has several guidelines<\/a> you must follow to avoid getting suspended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, you\u2019ll want to sign in to the Google Business Profile Manager and search for your business on Google or in the Google Maps app. If you do not immediately see your company, you can select “Add Your Business”<\/a> to Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will then be prompted to verify your business<\/a> using your real physical address. Physical businesses will receive a postcard by mail, while service-area businesses can verify their details through email. Once your business is approved, you can edit the listing to add your details and important information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like building a website, setting up a Google Business Profile can be somewhat challenging for beginners. Fortunately, you can hire industry experts to create and optimize your listing. Doing this will ensure that your profile is properly managed, so you can focus on running your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Attracting leads to your brick-and-mortar location can be difficult. Therefore, maximizing your online presence should be critical to your overall marketing strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Google Business Profile can organically promote your products or services. Let\u2019s recap the five newest features that can help you generate leads:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
