What Is a Google My Business Account?
(GMB)

Google my business is a tool created for businesses to manage their online presence, specifically for the Google search engine and google maps. This is perhaps one of the most important factors when it comes to local lead generation as google maps use the location of the searcher to show relevant businesses that are close to them. To explain this simply, if you search for a dentist, google will show you the dentists close to you. It would be of little to no use if it showed you a dentist that's several hours away!

So, Why Is It So Important To Have A Google My Business Listing?

There is no real need to get technical with statistics and numbers on this one as plain old common sense will answer it.
Ask yourself the question: when you search for any business whats the first thing you look at on google? 

If you're like the majority of people you will look at the map listings that show up first
Now besides being at the top there are a few main reasons why this position draws so much attention,

1- Business reviews are easily seen
2- Business hours, and whether it's open or closed
3- Their phone number is easy to see
4- Shows how far each business is from you

So you can quickly see how valuable this is, not just to your business but for any customer looking for your service. These listing will also feature a 'click to call' when using a mobile making it even easier for any customers to get in contact with you.

There are several factors Google takes into account when deciding whom to display in the 3 given positions, two common factors are, proximity to the searcher and 'citations' listed for that business. Citations are simply the business name, address and phone number (NAP) listed anywhere besides their own website. You see the more places your address is listed, in Google's eyes, you appear to be a legitimate and well-known business. The biggest ranking factor will always be proximity to the searcher, simply because Google would be providing a terrible service if they were to show me a dentist in the Gold Coast when I'm searching from Brisbane.
