Since most small businesses have a service address or a defined service area, it’s important to dial in your Google My Business (GMB) listing first.

Once this step is done, you can with 100% confidence ignore all of those "Google" calls, letting you know you aren't verified!

Once your address is verified with Google, (the steps to do this are in the post above,) you have what is called a “NAP” defined. 

  • NAP = Business Name, Address, and Phone Number.

The next step is to duplicate that “NAP” on additional sites that will list your business for potential customers. These listings are called a citation.

You can learn most of the the important citations you need to acquire in this post.

Additionally, you can learn the SEO’s in the Springfield area that perform citation services here.


Once you have consistent business info on these citation websites, take your “NAP” info and add it to your own website.

Note:

If you don’t have a website yet, you can learn how to build an affordable website for your small business here.

With your “NAP” on your website and citations, you create a web of consistent information for Google, Bing, Duck Duck Go and other search engines. This will improve your rankings because the search engines will know beyond a shadow of doubt, who you are, where you are, and what you do.


After you have a website, citations, and are getting reviews via systems or a review management service the next step in your marketing is to get traffic.

You can get free traffic from Google to your website.

Optimizing for traffic from Google is called SEO which stands for search engine optimization.

The foundation of SEO is ensuring Google knows your website exists and this post will show you how to connect Google Analytics and Google Search Console to your website which is the first step.
