What You'll Learn Over the Next 5 Days

Over the next five days, we’ll dive into the most common mistakes small businesses make with their Google Business Profiles and provide you with the solutions to avoid them. Here’s what we’ll cover:

Day 1: Mistake #1 - Leaving Your Business Profile Unclaimed

Why You’re Showing Up Last on Search Results

Many businesses fail to claim their Google Business Profile, resulting in poor visibility on search results. We’ll explain why claiming your profile is crucial and how it impacts your search rankings. By the end of this lesson, you’ll know exactly how to claim and verify your business on Google.


Day 2: Mistake #2 - Leaving Your Business Profile Unfinished

Why Customers Can’t Reach You

An incomplete business profile can frustrate potential customers and drive them to your competitors. We’ll show you how to fill out every section of your profile thoroughly, ensuring that customers have all the information they need to reach you easily.


Day 3: Mistake #3 - Ignoring Customer Reviews

Why This Sets a Bad First Impression

Customer reviews are a critical component of your online reputation. Ignoring them can set a negative first impression. We’ll teach you how to manage and respond to reviews effectively, turning them into a powerful asset for your business.


Day 4: Negative Outcome #4 - Failing to Set a Call to Action

Day 5: Mistake #5 - "Setting and Forgetting" Your Profile
