One of the most important things that any local business can do is set up Google My Business. Google My Business allows you to create a listing for Google Search and Google Maps results and gives you the best chance to appear when people are searching for you or businesses like yours. With Google My Business listings, you are able to add all of the important information that someone searching locally would need, including your Address, Phone Number (click to call button), Opening Hours (& any special hours), Website, Services. This means that when people are searching locally, perhaps on Google Maps on their phone and come across your business, they have all the details that they need.
