Google My Business
As a copywriter with years of experience preparing copy for online marketing, I
understand local SEO. Most notably, I know the impact healthy content and
optimisation has on websites and rankings.
Customers (and Google) need to know:
- Where you are.
- How to contact you.
- If you have contactless options.
- How you take payment.
- Who to ask questions.
- Your services.
- Where you source materials from.
- When you are open.
- If you take appointments.
- How to get help.
- If you accept online orders.
- How to get more information.
- Your business values.
- If you take pre-orders.
All of the above information must be easy for both customers and search engines such as Google to find.
