Google Local Listing Management?
- Do you know who manages your Google local listing?
- Do you even have one?
- Do you keep it up to date?
- Do you respond to reviews?
Over the years Google have tried their hardest to keep users ON their website, instead of people searching, finding and leaving Google to learn more about the thing they initially searched for. You will notice things like featured snippets;
Also things like Google Shopping;
Additionally, when someone searches for local businesses google presents their users with local listings;
And when you click to interact with one, it keeps you on Google and tries to facilitate the conversion from within their own ecosystem, as opposed to sending the user to your website;
So it has never been as important as it is now, to keep your Google Local Listing up to date.
