What is Google My Business?
Google My Business is a registry that Google uses to create a profile for your business. It gathers all kinds of information about your business together into one place: phone, email, address, Google reviews, etc. All of this information helps consumers make a purchasing decision and interact with your business.
You’ll often see a box of information on the left hand side of your screen when you google a specific business. This is your Google My Business page. It is important to keep all your information in sync as to not affect your business’s page rank.
Uniformity in Information
Google when ranking your business wants to make sure that you are not confusing your customers. That means they want to see that all the information across all your online presence is the same. This allows customers to easily get the correct information. Without these rules, many businesses might confuse you with multiple email addresses or phone numbers.
For example, many businesses have a clickable phone number at the top of their menu. That makes it very easy to locate and use your phone to call the business. If however, this phone number does not match the number listed on your Google My Business page, you are in trouble. The ranking algorithms will not look kindly on this behaviour. You may even end up in Google’s sandbox.
Google takes the uniformity and consistency of information across the online community very seriously. It is important that you’re presenting your brand as uniformly as possible. There is even some talk of Google consulting your branding colors for page ranking.
What am I saying? When you want to rank high in Google, make sure that everything you do conveys one clear message.
