Google. It’s just a word right, however it brings up so many different emotions in different people! For me, I get excited every time Google releases a new tool. Why, because the majority of these power platforms assist my team and I to grow, and really provide for what our clients demand.
More people use local search engines like Google (82%) than any other media to find local information.
This new tool is a must for small business and it’s a free listing! Welcome to the Google Local Business Centre.
Knowing how to establish numbers and metrics is key to all business models. Google has developed a killer tool that can help us do just that, plus it has made some updates to the way Google Local works. The new added power tool is metrics. What this means is that you can now control how you want to be defined on Google plus you can see how visitors are finding your information. Soaking up these metrics and making changes that reflect these results can be the difference that makes the difference with you and your competitors.
- Google local Business Centre enables you to:
- See who’s searching for you on Google.
- See how they are finding you
- See where they are coming from.
- Plus so much more.
This information can help you make smart decisions that can bring in more customers. You can see trends in what your customers are searching for before they find you – eg. if you are a massage therapist and shoulder massages are being searched frequently, then you could enhance your services to cater for these trends. You can continuously keep changing the listings in Google based on the results you see in your dash board. Woola!

This is a great tool, have been using it for a while with some success (the clients think it is great!)
Shame the Coupon option is only for US businesses, it is a very nice additional option to draw in new customers!
