The Importance of Keeping Your Google My Business Local Business Listing Profile Updated

Keeping your business’s Google My Business profile updated is crucial at any time, but especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is important to keep your listing updated with adjusted operating hours, in-store policies that have changed to adhere to safety guidelines, takeout options and procedures, and more. With Enspire for Enterprise’s local business listing management services, you can ensure all of your information is up to date so that it can easily be found.

How does my Google My Business listing help customers find me?

When a potential customer performs a Google inquiry for curbside pickup, takeout food, or delivery near them, any business that offers those services will want to make sure they appear in those search results. If a business has updated their profile with this information, it will be readily viewable when a web user clicks on their Google My Business listing. This could be the difference between a potential customer choosing to patronize your business, or someone else’s!

The same goes for providing current information about your hours and COVID-19 policies. If someone sees your hours on Google and visits your business within those hours only to find that you are not open, you could potentially lose a customer, along with potentially losing customers if you are open but have not updated your hours.
