Google launches new feature-Google My Business for SMBs

NEW DELHI: To further empower India’s small and medium business (SMBs) communities, Google said that it has launched a feature for “Google My Business’ customers that allows business owners to manage their business listings right from Google Search.

It has built a simple, easy-to-access business dashboard within Google Search. All that business owners need to do is find their business on Google Search, and complete and enhance listing, share photos and posts related to their business, and see how many views they are getting.

Businesses succeed and grow when they reach new customers online. With more than 80% of people searching the web to find local information1, it’s important to have a high quality presence that showcases what makes your business unique. When people get to know your business, they are more likely to become customers; and businesses with complete listings on Google are twice as likely to gain customer trust2, 38% more likely to attract in-store visits, and 29% more likely to see a purchase.
