Google My Business (GMB) is a helpful, easy-to-use, and powerful tool that roofers and exterior home remodeling professionals can use to showcase their company information and boost their placement in search results.
As you know, having a digital presence is crucial to the success of any exterior home remodeler. Millions of businesses have found GMB to be a powerful way to increase traffic to their business websites for years, and it is time you put this free resource to work for you!
If you aren’t familiar with GMB, you are not alone; at least 30% of the exterior home remodelers we talk to don’t have a GMB listing. While this is almost as bad as not having a website, creating your GMB listing is a great opportunity to stand out in your area and apart from your competition too.
If you’re just starting to build your exterior home remodeling business and online presence, start by searching Google maps for your business to make sure that someone else didn’t set up a GMB account that you aren’t aware of. (It isn’t uncommon for exterior home remodelers that have been in business for several years to have a listing.) If this is the case, you’ll simply need to claim the existing listing instead of creating a new one.
If you find that your company doesn’t have a local listing, you can create a free account by visiting the Google My Business page. Once you provide all the necessary information, Google will create a Google map location that will synchronize with traditional Google Search functionality to make it much easier for those looking for the services you provide to find your business.
