The one most important platform that a local business should not overlook is __cout__Google My Business.__cout__
<blockquote>68% of local marketing experts believe Google My Business is more important than it was a year ago .</blockquote>
Once known as Google Places, then Google Plus my Business, GMB, now Google Business Profile, offers the best single location to list all of your business information, while displaying images and videos of your business.

Why this matters is that the top 3 listed GMB businesses in the map, often get listed in the 3 pack at the top of the default Google results. Even above the organic, commonly called SERP(search engine results page).

The Google Map Pack which is the top 3 GMB Map listings get the bulk of the phone calls because it shows up at the top of desktop and mobile searches. Especially mobile searches. And mobile gets 70% of the traffic these days.

Consider that 92.59% of mobile, worldwide searches use Google.
<ul>
<li>66% of desktop searches are through Google and..</li>
<li> 4 out of 5 consumers use search engines to find almost all
local information</li>
<li>50% of local mobile searches resulted in a store visit within a
day of the search</li>
<li>34% of computer & tablet searches also resulted in a store
visit</li>
</ul>

because they offer more opportunities to appear in multiple
locations within the general search results.

Plus, GMBs can help with your organic rankings so you get a double pop on page one. Or a triple if you are doing <a href__equalto____cout__https://www.spiderjuicetechnologies.com/adwords__cout__>Adwords</a>. Which typically comes first on the Google page.
