Overall Satisfaction with Google My Business

We use Google My Business to boost our SEO efforts. We use GMB for our company and share updates, photos, operating hours, our location, and other information with potential customers. We also recommend GMB for others, and we always suggest that your marketing and SEO clients use this great free tool.
  • SEO
  • Providing quick information to customers
  • Reputation strengthening
  • Operating hours could be easier to change
  • Only-online businesses can't really use GMB without a location
  • Having to verify your location with a code sent via mail isn't the most convenient
  • GMB helps us to get more calls
  • GMB is free to use so it is worth it
  • GMB is definitely a net positive for us
We use Google My Business in combination with other tools to boost our SEO and the SEO of our clients. Google My Business does something that the others cannot, since it is owned by Google and its results, therefore, show up first in search results. The other products are very good, but they cannot replicate what GMB can.

Google My Business is especially great for local businesses that are targeting consumers (B2C), as it allows the public to search for the service they need (like a "plumber near me" or "air conditioning expert in my town") and get the best or most-SEO friendly companies returned to [the] right on top of their Google search.
