Google My Business page – website SEO
News!

Google My Business is one of the most important off-page SEO strategies for your website
Before wondering how your website is doing in a search, please take these steps and add your website and business to Google My Business.
Your business listing in this directory will give Google trust and a confirmation that you are a business and that you operate where you say you do. Google will try to match your business profile with data from your website and if the match is successful, your website will be more “trusted” and Google can feel more secure showing your website higher up in a search, so to speak.
Once you have your listing with Google on Google My Business, then you can consider taking further steps in off-page SEO.
Google My Business for your online visibility
Just type in a Google search “Google My Business” and the page will come up. You need to follow the steps and fill in all the information you are asked to provide about your business. Google My Business is free. It will take a while to get it activated, as you have to wait for a confirmation code to be sent to you by post. However, the wait is well worth it!
