Locksmith Google Maps Optimization

Word of mouth has always been a key component to helping lock shops around the country grow and obtain new customers. While this is still true, it is taking shape in a much more digital form.

Google Business Profile provides customers with an easy-to-digest, simple glance at a business. With it, potential customers can find out your address, phone number, view photos, see reviews, your products, and find quick answers to their burning questions.

Google Maps Is Very Powerful

It is from this snapshot that potential customers use to make quick decisions. Local searches lead to 50% of mobile visitors to visiting storefronts or utilizing searches within one day of the search.

A study showed that 88% of consumers trust online recommendations just as much as they do the personal recommendations that they receive.

These quick glances and judgments should not be viewed as any kind of attack on your shop or website, but rather a call to action to make sure that you have a Google Business Profile listing that is worthwhile and compliments your business.

Benefits Of Google Business Profile Optimization:

If someone is searching for the exact name of your lock shop, they probably are already aware of you. They might even be a returning customer. However, what if someone is searching for a specific locksmith service they need? What if they are searching for phrases such as:

  • Automotive Locksmith
  • Car Key Programming
  • Lockout Service
  • Residential Locksmith

You’ve probably searched Google for a specific service and seen a few businesses pop up for that term on the map. Those details that you see are pulled from their Google Business Profile listing.

Sometimes, just by having a Google Business Profile listing, your lock shop can get pulled into that list. The sheer fact these businesses pop up is crucial to organic searches and makes them fundamentally important.

Your primary website could very well be helped in rankings just by making sure you have a filled-out Google Business Profile listing.

Display Your Services/Reviews:

You can also utilize your GBP listing to help advertise basic information about your business such as specific lock services, your business hours, payments accepted, and more. By doing this, you are adding your business information into Google’s Local Search Index. These simple actions can help attract customers.

Another way to raise your lock shop’s profile in the eyes of Google is to have customers add reviews to your GBP listing. 5-Star reviews from your customers can increase the visibility of your shop which will increase the likelihood that customers searching for you or your service will give you a call.
