What is more important for any local business than ranking on GMB? Whether it is to rank at number one, or to rank at the top.

By the way, three mistakes always appear in the results of google my business listings. But listings ranked at number one cost five to ten times more than listings with number two or three. So the difference is not only of one or two positions, but of living and dying.

This rank will decide whether your business will be running after one year from today or it will be closed. If you are a local seo then this rank will decide whether a client will stay with you even after six months or not.

So in today’s article, we will see some such neet tricks by which you can bring a listing to number one or to the top in a very short time.

So in today’s article, we are looking at a way to get any google listing as soon as possible, number one, or on top in a very short time.

Google divides all listings into different categories, and every business can select a primary category for itself. No additional categories can be selected. What kind of business will your listing compete with?, How many queries will it rank for? How many leads will you get? It depends on these categories only, it is decided by them.

What will be the way to use categories properly? Select the primary category as broad as possible. The more broad you can go, the more you go while staying in your industry. So that you can cover most of the queries on the listing. If the listing is of a dentist, then do not select the primary category dentist, select the doctor.

If you are a dentist then you are a dentist, but you are also a doctor. If your primary category is narrow then you will loose the search for a lot of queries. If you have a restaurant of Chinese food, then your primary category will be restaurant. Chinese restaurant or dentist or cosmetic or cosmetic dentist or Chinese noodles restaurant are all specific, you can put them in secondary categories or additional categories. But to go very broad in the primary category.

Google gives the option to connect the listing to the website, but it is not written anywhere that you have to add a link to your homepage there. i mean if your homepage is perfectly optimized for local SEO then its good to use it but mostly it is not so you should create a new page on your website as landing page for your listing specifically for your business listings .

The main thing that is here in this whole article is that the webpage which is connected to your listing should be a complete information package in itself. 

 After seeing your page, visitors should know

Where is your business? 

What products do you offer? 

What services does he have? 

How long have you been in this business? What is the reputation of your business? 

Where are you located? 

How to reach there? 

What time does it open? 

What time does it close? On what days does it close? 

What are the payment methods? 

Pictures of that location, etc., 

you have to put all this information in your web page. No matter how long this page may be, but you have to easily give all the information related to your business listing here. And this page should be linked to your homepage, indexed so that google can associate this page with your listing. Only then you will get full benefit of it.

And one thing that is most important to take care of, is that this information should match. Whatever information is given on this page, it should match with the information of your listing, if there is a difference between the two, then there may be a crisis in your listing.

I mean you do not need to tell people the importance of backlinks but for the one you have just created a dedicated landing page for listing, a right backlink campaign also needs to be created.

You need to give an internal link to your listing page from the important pages of your website, whichever page of your site is most externally linked or say that you are getting the most link juice, this page should get a link.  So that the link juice is passed on this page as well.

And also you should get links from the websites which are related to your industry.  This page should also get a link from the website which is also location specific.

Just classified, social submission link of all these will not work. Actually, focus on gaining links from industry specific websites. Top 10, best 5, focus on taking links from articles of this type and such backlinks will boost the performance of the landing page of your listing, increase its rank and also this page will increase the rank of your listing .

One of the important ranking factors or signals of Google my business are reviews.

Reviews have two advantages, one gives a good rank to your listing and secondly, when someone looks at your listing carefully, they select your business only because of good reviews. Then he will call you, visit the store or shop.

But in order to increase the reviews, you do not have to get caught in fake or spam reviews. You have to guide your client’s to give reviews in the right way, what does a good review contain? A good review contains the name of your product or services and the details that the user has purchased from you. There are details of their experience, one or two photos or videos. In this way detailed reviews rank your listing.

Now, a practical tip here I would like to give that if you yourself are a business owner then you know how difficult it is to take such a detailed review from any customer, from any client. And you can’t even pay the customer to give a review but you can pay your staff. You can target your employees that whoever brings so many reviews in a month, whoever brings the most reviews will be given a bonus. and usually these things work. We have written an article a few days ago about how to get good reviews, more reviews? , the link of which is here. 

There are many fields in a Google my business listing, there are many options and most people do not fill in a lot of information. With google you have to play nibba-nibbi game. Did my babu eat food or not? Give as much information as you need. Every field of the listing has to be filled, give attributes, fill the information in the brief description box also. Also give the link of appointment booking. Even if you do not take an appointment, please give the link. google is always hungry for more information and you have to feed him that.

At this point everyone knows that if you use keywords in google my business listing, if you use keywords in its name, then the rank of your listing increases. If there are two listings in which everything is same but the keywords of the listing are added to the business name of one and not added to the other. So the listing with the puzzle will rank higher. it’s a face. But on adding keywords to google listing, there is also a fear of suspension of listing. google will suspend the listing if not today or tomorrow. But if there are keywords in the registered name of your business, then what will google uproot? 

That’s why these tips are only for those people, or else say that these bonus tips are for those people who can either change the name of their business now, can take so much trouble or else they are in the registration frame right now. If you are deciding the name, then add the keyword to the registered name of your business itself. Build a board with the same name, take a photo, add it to your listing and then see how Google suspends this listing. Your registered name is 😀. 

So these were those 5 tips along with a bonus tip that can help you get your listing to the top position quickly or rank it. Act on these quickly and get your listing to the top. 

Thank you!

Take care!
