Page Text: When I get started, why can’t I touch my GMB for 30 days?
Any changes made within that time can negatively affect the performance of the Boost. We want to ensure your information is accurate and optimised, but if you continue to make changes our technology can’t give you results the way it normally would.
How is this different from Google ads?
With Google ads, the pay structure, content, and delivery all differ from what Locafy offers.
For one, we offer our packages in a monthly or annual subscription style structure instead of paying for clicks or impressions. Our content that we deliver includes landing pages (and we can programmatically build hundreds) that deliver the business content on a template that you choose. Oh! And we have a custom template option as well.
Locafy’s landing pages are designed to take up search engine real estate for the keywords and the geographic neighbourhoods that matter to your business. Unlike Google Ads, they are designed to reach organic ranking rather than show up as an ad.
Why is the Google Business Profile (Google My Business) so important?
With a Google Business Profile, your business can be listed on Google Maps and business listing data can easily be accessed on search results without having to go into the business’ website. Important data like the address, phone number, hours of operation, website, and reviews populate when someone is searching.
Google Business Profile is more than just a listing. Google regards this information highly and will show the top GMB results above the main search engine results.
What is the purpose of the listings that are created?
When the business information is present across different listing sites consistently and accurately, search engines respond by bumping the business up in rankings. Basically, optimising listings works towards optimising SEO.
When the business is ranked higher, customers can find it easier. On top of improving search engine results rankings, being present on the listing sites customers trust is a great way to build awareness and credibility.
