Setting up and optimizing Google My Business (GMB) is crucial. By claiming your listing, you ensure that prospective customers find accurate and consistent information about your business.
Utilize geo-targeted keywords in your GMB description and posts to associate your business with local searches.
Customer reviews improve your business’s credibility and influence your ranking on Google Maps. Encourage satisfied customers to leave a review and acknowledge each one.
Use local structured data markup (Schema markup) to help Google better understand, index, and display your content in local search results.
Leverage Google Maps ads to highlight your business directly on the map interface and attract local customers.
List your website on local directories to strengthen your local SEO strategy and improve your Google Maps ranking.
Regularly update your GMB listing with new photos, posts, and special offers to keep potential customers engaged and informed.
Embed Google Maps into your website to send local signals to Google and amplify your local SEO efforts.
Ensure your website is mobile-friendly to align with Google’s preference for seamless mobile experiences and improve your ranking.
Monitor your Google My Business analytics to understand customer behavior and peak activity hours, guiding your local marketing strategy.
Implementing these strategies consistently can significantly enhance your local business’s visibility on Google Maps. Improved visibility leads to increased foot traffic, boosted sales, and a thriving local business.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
