Google continues to dominate the search engine market worldwide. While you might not be concerned with how your website ranks in search engines around the world, your local search engine rankings are key. Small businesses thrive when their sites appear in the top search results for local services. When local users make a specific search query in Google, you want them to find your business. Research has shown that search engine users are far more likely to click on the first few results generated from their query.

One easy and affordable way to begin improving your local SEO rankings is to start or update your Google Business Profile. Creating a Google Business Profile is completely free, and business owners can even add pictures, offers, and posts in addition to the basic business information that is typically included in a Google business listing. If you have an existing business profile you can simply claim it and begin updating it with the latest information. If your business isn’t listed, you can add it easily by creating a profile. Remember, it is crucial for you to keep this profile up to date with the latest information, addresses, contact information, etc.
