Updating your Google account? They need to know the right information.
I have been hounded, well not really hounded by Google but there have been a lot of calls over the last couple of weeks for me to verify my Google information.
So finally I did wait for the next available representative to get on the phone with me.
When I finally got on the phone, he was talking about my Google listing and how they wanted to verify all the information they had in their files.
I did this, all was good.
Then he told me that remember Google wants your SEO to be the best and they want you to be on the first page when looking for your services.
“OH BOY” I thought here comes the sales pitch.
He then told me that he was looking up Desert Sun Home inspections and didn’t see me on the first line. I told him Duh...If I'm not on the first line then I must not exist...not so fast I told him.
Just because I'm not on the first line looking for Desert Sun Home Inspections.
How many people even know who to look for?
They want a home inspection in Carlsbad they will enter Home inspections in Carlsbad New Mexico.
So the nice guy at Google says this “ Let's see if you come up on a search for home inspections in New Mexico”.
“No I don't see your company. I finally found you on the third page of the listings”.
I told him “Really? If your looking for a home inspection company then your going to enter the city as well”.
“Like this, enter Home inspections in Carlsbad, New Mexico and see what comes up”.
He did this and WHAM there I was all over the place.
He told me what I already knew about the Google searches I have made.
There needs to be a city in your searches. Not just a generalization of what you are looking for.
No SEO can compete with the world web sites. There are so many you need to refine your search so the web knows what you are looking for and where.
So eliminate the choices and enter a city.
Have a great day every one.
