What Negative Factors Affect Your Shop’s Google Ranking?
November 3, 2015
Did you know that 75% of search engine users use Google? According to DMR, a digital marketing resource company, Google owns an overwhelming 75% of the U.S. search market and 89% of the U.S. mobile search market. There are over 100 billion searches performed per month on Google and your customers are most likely a part of that.
All of our websites are search engine-friendly so your customers will be able to find your shop online. But there is still more that can be done for your website to improve your search ranking on Google.
Google has created Google My Business and this is where you need to get your shop listed. It’s a fast and easy way to help get your business found on the most popular search engine. If you are our customer and you have the Pro+Connect or Pro+Engage package, then you don’t have to worry about your Google My Business listing – we take care of this for you. But if you don’t, then you need to make sure your shop’s Google listing doesn’t have the following items, as they can negatively affect your shop’s Google ranking:
- A 1-800 phone number.
- Negative customer ratings on your reviews.
- Multiple listings with the same business name.
- Multiple listings with the same address and phone number.
Make sure to look up your shop and see if any of the above items are on your Google listing. If you don’t get these items fixed, your customers are going to have trouble finding your shop.
If you do need to update your Google My Business page, you don’t need to worry because we can help you fix this with our Pro+Connect or Pro+Engage website packages.
