Here’s what you need to do:
Share photos, updates, and offers on Google My Business every day.
Sharing photos of your inventory on Google My Business is a smart move, especially if you want to pique the interests of your target audience. From your listing, they can swipe through your images to see what your store offers.
Sharing updates on Google My Business is no different than sharing a post on Facebook. Just type in your update (you can include an image) and give people a link they can click on to learn more about whatever you’re promoting in your update.
Sharing offers on Google My Business will help you increase your website traffic from people who are looking at your business listing on Google.
You can also upload your products to your Google My Business listing! So, be sure to do that and include a product description that makes people say, “I WANT THAT!”
Offering 10% off for new subscribers? Share it on Google! Do you have a special discount you’re running for a short time? Share it on Google!
