How To Use Google My Business To Get More Sales

When google introduced Google My Business(GMB) the aim was to connect customers with local businesses. GMB makes your business highly visible to searches.

Every time a user searches for a product or service that you offer, your business pops up with all details a potential customer needs to reach you.

These coffee shops have listed their businesses( This is basically free traffic to your website/store).
