The business card in Google search

Google MyBusiness optimization

The profile on Google My Business is like a business card for the company. The user sees at first glance the route, opening hours, telephone numbers and much more. Google My Business acts like a social network. The owner can present his company using different variants and provide a comprehensive overview of his locality.

Other users can write reviews that are directly visible to others and can provide a positive image. Also, the entrepreneur can write posts himself which can even be shared by other users so that the image of the company is positively enhanced. In this way, the company remains virtually in contact!
