How to make the most out of your GMB listing:

The key to a good Google My Business listing is to include as much information as possible. For instance, If your listing includes photos, trading hours, contact information and a website, a potential client is more likely to use your service or product over a competitor who has little or no information on their listing. Google My Business allows you to really flesh out your information, with options for letting users know whether your business has wheelchair access or free wifi. More information makes your business appear well established and helps build trust and credibility among potential customers.

Updates to usage from Google:

Google is constantly updating and working to further improve Google My Business. It’s important that you keep up to date with the latest changes and new features to make sure your listing has the best chance of attracting new business.
