Introduction
This case study is about how I elevated the ranking of a Google Business Profile from nowhere to the #1 position on the Google search result page.
Significance of this case study
Google My Business is a free tool from Google that helps local businesses manage their online presence. It’s a simple way to create and update your business information—including your hours, location, and website—and make it easy for customers to find you on Google.
We optimize our local business to rank for keywords that people search for when they need reliable products or services. By ranking for these keywords, we can make more sales.
Why should we rank our GMB in the top three positions?
You might want to rank your Google My Business in the top three positions on the search engine results page.
First and foremost, it’s great for business visibility. Being at the top of the search results means more people will see your business when looking for the products or services you offer.
It also helps with customer engagement. People are more likely to click on a link if it’s higher up on the page, so ranking in one of the top three spots can help you generate more leads and customers from your online presence.
Finally, it helps with website traffic. The higher your Google My Business is ranked, the more visitors you’ll bring to your website. And that means more opportunities to make sales and grow your business.
