5 Reasons Why Google My Business is Essential
Having a well-maintained Google My Business (GMB) profile is crucial for any local business aiming to increase its online visibility and attract more customers. Here are key reasons why GMB is essential, supported by compelling statistics:
-
Local SEO: Improve your local search rankings and attract more local customers. According to Google, 46% of all searches have local intent, meaning potential customers are looking for businesses like yours nearby. A well-optimized GMB profile ensures your business appears in these searches, driving more traffic to your physical location or website.
-
Customer Trust: A well-maintained profile builds credibility and trust with potential customers. Statistics show that businesses with complete and accurate information are 2.7 times more likely to be considered reputable. By keeping your GMB profile updated, you present a professional and trustworthy image to prospective clients.
-
Increased Engagement: Engage with your customers directly through reviews, Q&A, and posts. Businesses that respond to reviews are 1.7 times more likely to be viewed as trustworthy. Regular interaction on your GMB profile fosters a sense of community and loyalty among your customers.
-
Convenience: Make it easy for customers to find your contact information, read reviews, and get directions. Research indicates that 84% of consumers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. Having positive reviews and easy access to contact information can significantly influence a customer's decision to choose your business.
-
Enhanced Visibility: Appear in the coveted Local Pack, where 93% of local searches with local intent show the Local Pack at the top of the first page. This prime visibility can drive a substantial amount of traffic to your business.
Compelling Statistics to Consider:
-
76% of people who search for something nearby on their smartphone visit a related business within a day (Google).
-
28% of searches for something nearby result in a purchase (Google).
-
70% of customers look at multiple reviews before making a purchase decision (BrightLocal).
The Cost of Ignoring Google My Business
Ignoring Google My Business can have significant negative impacts on your local business. Here’s why:
-
Missed Visibility: Without an optimized GMB profile, your business may not appear in local search results, causing you to miss out on potential customers. Considering that 46% of all Google searches have local intent, failing to utilize GMB means losing visibility to nearly half of all searches.
-
Lost Trust and Credibility: Businesses without a GMB profile or with incomplete information are often viewed as less credible. Customers are 2.7 times more likely to trust a business with a complete GMB profile. Ignoring GMB can erode trust and drive potential customers to competitors with well-maintained profiles.

-
Decreased Engagement: GMB allows businesses to interact with customers through reviews, Q&A, and posts. Without it, you lose a direct line of communication with your audience, reducing engagement and customer loyalty. Businesses that engage with reviews are 1.7 times more likely to be considered trustworthy.
-
Reduced Local Traffic: Studies show that 76% of people who search for something nearby on their smartphone visit a related business within a day. Without GMB, you miss out on this critical local traffic, which could otherwise drive significant foot traffic to your store.
-
Financial Impact: Ignoring GMB can directly affect your bottom line. Local searches often lead to purchases, with 28% of such searches resulting in a sale. Not being visible in local searches means missing out on these potential sales, directly impacting your revenue.
By neglecting Google My Business, you risk losing visibility, trust, engagement, and ultimately, revenue. Investing in GMB setup and management ensures your business remains competitive, accessible, and credible to potential customers.
