3 Easy Ways to Turn Google into Your Best Salesperson
Verified Google Business Profiles (GBPs) average 200 interactions every month. Verified profiles also show up more in searches and build trust. Businesses with verified GBPs get 1,803 monthly views, and 84% of those are from customers who find you by searching for what you do—not your business name [Birdeye, 2024].
That's the power of showing up in discovery searches. It’s like having a neon sign on Main Street—but smarter.
Businesses with photos on their GBP get 42% more direction requests [Search Endurance, 2025]. And when you post updates regularly, your profile stays active and visible—turning searchers into new customers.
The average GBP generates 595 customer actions per year—calls, direction requests, website clicks [Birdeye, 2024]. Getting just 66 new reviews a year can boost your local search rank. Even better? Replying to reviews shows you’re active, and active profiles rank higher.
Here are 3 things to do this week:
Claim and verify your Google Business Profile. This takes minutes and unlocks visibility.
Add 3 new photos of your location or work. Show customers what you do.
Ask 2 happy customers for a Google review and reply to any you already have.
Why it matters: 88% of people who search on their phone visit or call a business within a day [Think with Google, 2024]. Make sure they find you—not your competitor.
