Why spend time setting up and optimizing a Google My Business Profile?

If you want to market your business for free, SEO is one of the best places to start. There are a lot of methods to practice SEO, but most of them revolve around gaining the coveted #1 ranking on Google.

What’s so great about Google? Well, the search engine processes 8.5 billion searches every day, and you don’t have to pay anything to show up in those search results.

Some common SEO methods to show up higher in the search results include regular blogging around targeted keywords, paying for advertisements and optimizing your website – all of which take time and sometimes even a full blown marketing budget!

But there’s one often-overlooked feature of Google – Google Business Profiles. Setting up and optimizing a Google My Business Profile listing is like cracking the code to Google’s search engine optimization algorithm.

Why is setting up an optimized Google My Business Profile important?

You could be missing out on daily Google searches and hundreds of potential customers a month! And while that’s a HUGE lost opportunity, that’s not all… If you’re not the one managing and optimizing your Profile and being intentional with what is put on there, the internet will do it for you! Really… Anyone can “claim” your business and this could leave you with misinformation publicly posted about your business. I know you’ve put blood, sweat, and tears into building your business and brand, so let’s not waste all that effort by letting Google do its own thing.

Plus if you’re a business relying on local traffic for your business, this SEO tool was literally made for you.

Ready to dive in and boost your business without spending a fortune on marketing?

Now, I know some of you may say…

“Setting up a Google My Business Profile can’t be that hard…”

Nothing on the internet is that hard… If you know what you’re doing 😏 But let’s be real – time is precious, and you already have a million things on your to-do list. I want you to spend less time reading Google’s support articles, and more time doing the things you love. So I’ve done the legwork for you, with an easy to follow 6-step process that many of my clients have used to ensure they get monthly leads from Google. Plus, I’ve thrown in some easy-to-use templates to make the process faster and your life simpler.

“How do I know this will actually put me on the first page of Google?”

It’s natural to question whether setting up a Google My Business Profile will actually help improve your position on the search engine results page but the short answer is: it will! You see, Google Business Profiles are specifically designed to enhance local search results. By claiming and optimizing your business listing, you are telling Google that your business is relevant to local searches in your area. This can help you appear in the “Businesses” or “Places” section that typically appears at the top of search results for location-relevant queries. Just search “[your occupation] near me” and see who comes up to see it in action. PLUS by creating a Google Business Profile, you’re essentially establishing an additional online presence for your business. This means that when people search for your business or related keywords, your listing has a higher chance of appearing in search results as a credible company, leading to greater visibility and trust among potential customers.

"I’m already doing so much, why do I need to do this too?!”

I know, I know. You write a weekly newsletter. You blog regularly. You’re on YouTube, Pinterest, Threads, Facebook AND Instagram. What more does the internet want from you!? Just talking about it, I can feel the sense of overwhelm sinking in… But I promise you, the few hours it takes to set this up is so worth it!

Setting up and optimizing a Google My Business Profile is actually really cool in that it is a “set it and forget it” type of thing. Spend three hours now and potentially get 30+ new client leads every month thereafter. Seriously, I’ve set up and optimized Google My Business Profiles in less than 2 hours before. And if you want even more from it, like any marketing there are opportunities to really run with this tool.

“Why should I spend my hard-earned cash on this course?”

While other resources may leave you feeling overwhelmed with SEO jargon and complex strategies, I’ve stripped it down to the essential foundational steps. This course is designed to give you the knowledge and tools you need to consistently show up on the first page of Google without getting lost in a sea of tutorials and support forums. But here’s the real deal: I’m not just about theory. I’m all about getting shit done and delivering immediate results. The actionable steps stacked with tips and tricks will empower you to set up and optimize your Google My Business Profile with confidence. No more guessing games or endless research. Whether you’re a small business owner on a tight budget or a local business relying on walk-in traffic, this course will guide you through the set up process with ease. I’ll show you how to leverage the power of Google to attract more leads, increase brand visibility, and build trust effortlessly.

FAQ

What is a Google Business Profile?

A Google Business Profile is a free service offered by Google that uses location-relevant searches to link up location-based businesses with nearby customers. You can learn more here.

Are Google Business Profiles free?

Yep! Google Business Profiles are free. All you need is a Google account (also free!)

Who can get a Google Business Profile? Do I need to have a public address?

As Google suggests, “You can have a profile if your business doesn’t have a physical address as long as you make in-person contact with customers. You can also have a profile if you’re a hybrid business that serves customers at your business address and visits or delivers directly to customers. You may also have a profile if you’re a service-area business that visits or delivers to customers directly, but doesn’t serve customers at its business address, like a plumber or cleaning service.”

If you’re unsure, I recommend doing a Google search of “[your occupation] near you” to see if your local competitors are using the Google Business Profiles. Most likely, they are!

Will I need to buy anything else (like other tools or systems) in order to complete the course?

Nope! If you buy the course, the methods taught are completely free. However, I do mention some tool alternatives that have a minimal cost – None of which are required to set up and optimize a Google Business Profile.

How long does the course take to complete and for my Business listing to appear in search results?

All course participants follow different timelines, but on average, setting up and optimizing a Google Business Profile takes 2-5 hours. From there, the verification process on Google’s end takes 3-4 days.

Can’t I just Google how to do this?

Do you want to? If the answer is yes, then by all means, go ahead! But if you’re like me and you prefer to spend your time moving the needle forward in your biz, then spend the $$$. (The cost is probably less than what you pay for your monthly streaming services!)

Will I actually be #1 on Google?

Setting up and optimizing a Google Business Profile will not actually get you to be #1 on Google search results, but I’ve seen clients show up on the first page of search results using Google Business listings. This works because Business listings typically show up before any other rankings, so if you can optimize for your target audience, you have a good chance of showing up before #1.

Note: This is a self-guided course, and I cannot guarantee you will be the first to appear in your local Business listings. Please read the course disclaimers and policies listed at the bottom of this web page before purchasing.

What’s your refund policy?

Hiya! I’m Kelsey!

Designer and consultant for professional branding, graphic, and web design. Over the years working with my clients on their brand and web projects I found that I was constantly asked by clients how they could make the most of their new websites and get them found by their audience. I kept giving the same advice – organic SEO and authentic marketing!

I know from my own experience and theirs that setting up and optimizing your Google My Business Profile is a simple way to build organic SEO and authentic marketing that can also make a huge difference to your business and website traffic – almost immediately! (And that’s before you add in any other marketing tactics to the mix!)

As a fellow entrepreneur I know how difficult it can be at times to do *all the things* in your business. And after spending so much time, effort, and money on your brand and website, it would be such a shame for your work and talent to sit in some dusty corner of the internet! So please, make sure your business gets seen.
