Your Google Business Profile is the most important piece of local marketing real estate you have. It appears before your website in local search results and it is often the deciding factor in whether someone calls you or your competitor.
Your primary category is the single most important GBP ranking factor. Choose the most specific category that accurately describes your business. Then add relevant secondary categories. A dentist should be Dentist as primary, not Healthcare Provider.
Businesses with photos get 42% more direction requests and 35% more website clicks. Upload photos of your storefront, interior, team, products, and work. Aim for at least 25 photos total. Add new photos weekly, because Google rewards active profiles.
Google Posts are a free way to show up in search with fresh content. Post weekly with updates, offers, events, or tips. Each post stays visible for 7 days. This signals to Google that your business is active and engaged, which helps your local ranking.
Reviews are the second biggest local ranking factor. You need a systematic approach: ask every happy customer for a review, make it easy with a direct review link, and respond to every review within 24 hours, positive and negative. Google explicitly states that review responses improve local ranking.
