Google 4 Business

This is the first step for all start-up businesses.
 
1. Create a free Gmail Account to use for business, ie. yourbusiness@gmail.com, or link an existing *Google Workspace business email
2. Showcase a professional Email Signature 
3. Activate business profile on Google Maps
4. Boost website rankings with Google Search Console
5. Create Google Analytics account
6. Link Analytics and Search Console accounts
 
When you search businesses in Google you will notice active businesses have listings pop up on the right-hand side of your search screen. These business profiles help customers and potential clients (regardless of your SEO ranking) validate your business information at first glance.
 
- website
- trading hours
- directions (optional)
- service area
- products/services
- business reviews
- links to social media

Once listed you can make sudden or planned changes to your operating hours direct from the Google Maps app on the fly. It’s the most beneficial thing you can do to boost business search rankings on the world wide web.
