For starters, you want to know what Google My Business is before you decide to invest your time into trying it. As the name implies, Google My Business allows you to create a listing for your business on Google.

When a consumer researches your business on Google — or even searches for terms related to your business — you want to ensure they have all the information they need to visit, make a purchase, or contact your company.

My name is Mac Frederick and I used to work for Google. In 2016 I left Google and started my own companies, Phone Repair Philly and Momentum Digital. Since then have I dedicated my marketing to Local SEO and Google My Business. I focused tons of time and efforts on optimizing my Google Business Profile and getting 5-Star reviews. This has drastically increased my business by ranking all my locations at the top of Google Local Search results. This organically drives me more clicks, calls and customers. There is $0 marketing costs and $0 advertising costs. This means by ROI is insane.

I started both companies with $10,000 in 2016. Now both companies make well over $100,000 per month in revenues with profits ranging from 10-40% because we have very low advertising costs and CPA costs.

Google Local SEO Marketing is by the best form of digital marketing for small and local businesses. I know this personally because I have 3 companies that grew from $0 to over $1,000,000 within a few years from this 1 tactic.

1. Example 1 = Phone Repair Philly
2. Example 2 = Momentum Digital 
3. Example 3 = Momentum 360

You’ll notice from these 3 search results that each of my business ranks at the top of Google and has hundreds of 5-star reviews. So how did I do it?

1. Create a Free Google Business Profile
2. Update & Optimize Your Business Profile
   1. Photos, description, keywords, services, amenities, etc
3. Start posting to your Google Profile
   1. Events, photos, updates, promotions

Next you might want to consider hiring a marketing agency like Momentum Digital to market your business using Local SEO tactics.

Once you create and access your Google Business Profile you can actually retrieve a Google Review Link you can share with customers. You can find and access this link within your Google Profile.

Now most review platforms don’t want you to incentivize customers with gifts, discounts or other methods. However, they have no way of testing or reviewing this. What we do is we ask every customer in person or a follow up text. We also create a sign in the stores with a QR code and links.

• Create a QR Code with a LinkTree
• Ask customers in person with a discount
• Give them a free small gift

Hopefully this will increase your Google Reviews which will then increase your SEO rankings in the local search results.
