Overall Satisfaction with Google My Business

We use the Google My Business network to do a couple of things, but primarily it is to appear closer to the top if not the top of Google search results. Since we are an organization that has more than a dozen individual locations, being able to track all of them in one interface is paramount to accurate information when people search for the organization.
  • Location updates such as hours, phone number and location
  • Uniform and UX friendly layout
  • East to use backend for setting up listings.
  • It needs to be easier to edit. This is one of the worst run around websites out there that does not allow any easy, controlled edits.
  • Allow our locations to be found eaisly
  • Integrates with Google and Google Ads
  • Direct over 10000 calls a year and over 17000 searches for directions to be handled
  • Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads)
The way Google My Business is easier to understand (intuitive) on both the owner of the business side as well as the customer-facing portion gives it an arm over Microsoft Advertising. GMB started the business listing trend and has left Microsoft only to copy the layout that every already likes and knows.
