Google Business listing

Your most important entry for SEO.

You're familiar with Google Business. It's the listing that appears in Google search results—on the right side on desktop and usually at the top on mobile phones.

Chances are, you already have a listing created by Google. You can claim your listing and enhance it with your logo, photos, offers, etc. If anything is incorrect, you can also correct it. The Google Business listing is free.

How can I claim my entry?

Click on the link "Are you the owner of this business?" to claim the entry for yourself. After answering a few questions about your company, you can have a code sent to you by e-mail, telephone or post. As soon as you have received and entered the code, your entry is under your control.

Reply to reviews!

If you have your entry under control, you can also respond to reviews accordingly. Respond in any case, regardless of whether the review is good or bad. Google measures your activity and judges your entry based on your response. Say thank you for a positive comment and apologize for a negative comment. It doesn't matter if the criticism is justified, what matters is how you respond.

Fake comments

If a review is completely out of line, you can report it to Google, but the chances are very slim that the comment will be removed. It's better to write something like: "We're sorry that you had a negative experience with us, how can we make it up to you? Please contact us on your next visit".

Feedback is important

Encourage your customers to give you feedback. For example, with a note on your homepage: Your feedback on my services always makes me happy!

The more feedback you collect, the better. Don't forget the local platforms. These are also displayed in your My Business entry. Entries in local platforms are good for SEO but also to collect even more feedback. 65% of all customers decide today based on feedback but not all your customers only search on Google or want to comment on Google.

Will I be informed about new comments?

There is an app for your smartphone: iPhone | Android. I recommend that you install it. Once installed, you will always receive a message when someone writes a review and can respond within a short time. You will also receive an e-mail when someone writes a review.

Keep your customers up to date!

Post news and offers directly on Google. It's free and you can reach your customers where they are looking for you. What could be better?
