If you're not appearing in local search results, or not appearing at all, it can seriously impact your business. Google is very stringent in its listing guidelines, so you must follow them to the letter. Getting listed can be a bit of a process, but it's easy to fix if you follow instructions. Some business models are ineligible for a listing, including those that don't make in-person contact with customers.

It's low-tech, I know, but it's Google's way of asking business owners to prove they are who they say they are. Just follow the instructions on the verification card to complete the process. Your site should be listed and ranked in no time after that. You need to fill out your business introduction as fully as possible. Your profile photo, in particular, needs to be eye-catching.

People always like to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of how businesses operate. Photos add character and life to an online business. If you don't have any reviews, you won't show up in local search results for your business. Reviews are a highly coveted piece of the Google Local puzzle. Your "star" rating will appear with your business listing, along with review excerpts, when somebody Googles your company name.
