You can draw more traffic to your blog posts and other announcements about your business via your Google Business Profile! Interested in learning more about Google Updates in 2023 for better Business Profile Marketing? Read on and we'll tell you more.
Similar to a social media post, a Google Update (formerly known as Google Posts) consists of a photo and a caption, with a link to a page or post on your website. Updates show in your Google Knowledge Panel when someone is searching for our business on a desktop, or in Google Maps on mobile.
Benefits of using Google Updates include:
- More views and clicks than from only posting on traditional social media
- Cater to a different audience than traditional social media
- Anyone Googling your business is able to view it while on a desktop, no need to click away from Google
- Potential guests viewing your property on Google Maps will see your Updates
- Create a more visually dynamic profile for your viewers
- Optimize every tool that Google allows businesses to utilize by investing in Google Updates.
