Monday Reminder: Don't neglect Google My Business

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with M Bee Creative

Hey You! 👋 Don’t forget to add one update and one review to your Google My Business page this week!

🌟 Here's why:

✨ Boost Your SEO: Regular updates and reviews on your Google My Business page send positive signals to search engines like Google. This helps improve your SEO ranking, making it easier for potential customers in your area to find you when they search for products or services like yours.

👁️‍🗨️ Increase Visibility: By consistently updating your Google My Business page with fresh content and encouraging reviews, you increase your visibility in local search results. This means more eyeballs on your business and more opportunities to attract new customers right in your neighborhood.

📈 Stand Out from Competitors: An active and well-maintained Google My Business profile sets you apart from competitors who may neglect theirs. It shows potential customers that you're not only open for business but also actively engaged with your audience and committed to providing excellent service.

⏰ Consistency Pays Off: Remember, if you do this once a week, you'll thank yourself in a year. It's a small effort that can lead to big rewards for your business in terms of SEO, visibility, and reputation! Keep shining! ✨

Yep, anything you can add to social media can be added there. I use a tool called Metricool to post several social media accounts at once, and it does Google, too.

Congratulations on becoming a member of ActiveRain. None of us realized how valuable ActiveRain could be for our business and life when we first joined.


If you are serious about your business and want to know how to make the most of this platform, may I recommend you check out this link to "Getting Started On ActiveRain".  There's a LOT more to it than initially meets the eye.

One thing you might want to know, as a "Rainer" (free membership) your posts do not get indexed to the public. That requires a paid membership. When you reach the 500,000 point level, your membership becomes free with all the benefits of paid membership.

Tell us what you're hoping to get from your membership here, and we can help guide you.

Welcome aboard The Rain Train.

Welcome the Rain Melanie Bocock I had no idea about adding anything to my BP.  I do however ask for reviews!  Always be learning I say.  😎

I would suggest you follow everyone that has commented on your posts and follow them.  Many are seasoned writers.  Many of us lurked around before posting.  

Check in daily  (100 points) with Q/A to get a better pulse.  Kathleen Daniels will remind you about our Tuesday 2pm eastern zoom gathering weekly.  George Souto will highlight the presenter on Sundays in his blog post.  We also host monthly Challenges.  Check the Contest link

I so need to get this going as I am lazy about this and yet it controls the SEO we seek.

listen, I do this stuff for a living, and I'm my worst client.  Do as I say not as I do.  It's hard to carve out time for it.

You are absolutely right about this!   It took me two months to get my google page revalidated but I am happy to say that it is now open and I am here!  I just sent out two requests for reviews this morning thanks to your post
