Can your business be found on Google Maps?

It may sound obvious, but your business needs to be found when people search for it.

Many organisation know they can be found, but the bigger question is what search finds you?

Trying to find the local Church

Recently I created a video about my experience trying to find a local church. I did a quick voice search to take me to this Church I had not attended before and it was not found.

Google could not find an address to take me too. Lucky for this organisation I was invited by friends to attend so I knew the place did exist. I asked my Wife who was in the car with me to try and get an address for the church and we were able to get their within time.

So the story ended well in this case but how many people do a search for your business and never arrive from similar issues?

How many are given directions only to arrive and find you are closed?

I have actually not gone to a location because I thought it was closed, only to find I was mistaken because the Google Maps list was not up to date. It had the incorrect Business operational hours on it.

Google Maps – The number 1 place for driving directions.
Google Maps is the number 1 navigation software in the world. Its smart too, so if your business is closed a customer will be made aware of that before the start driving to your location. This will mean that your Google My Business Profile should be up to date.

If your hours are wrong. Your address out of date or even your website is not linked to the profile you could be losing significant customer traffic.

Its not hard to get your maps listing fixed. Once you know how to use your maps listing, it can actually drive alot of traffic to your stores.

So make sure that you get your Google Maps listing claimed.
