Ebook Google My Business: a complete guide for entrepreneurs & retailers

I understand that for the majority of merchants being on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter can very often have little interest, and that managing a website requires time and knowledge.

Google My Business, on the other hand, is the perfect tool…

… For a merchant to appear in Google’s local search results (maps / google my business – profile) and show the satisfaction and seriousness of his establishment or business.

My ambition is to give you all the tips and knowledge you need about Google Business Profile (formerly known as Google My Business), so that you can master this free service from Google. And let’s face it, Google’s ergonomics and vocabulary aren’t the easiest, so this PDF e-book, readable on PC/MAS, mobile or tablet, will answer all your questions.

Warning!!! This version of the E-book does not contain future updates! If you’d like to receive the new version of the e-book every time I update it (every 3 to 6 months – for a one-off fee), and be part of the PRO network (newsletter and Discord) to keep up to date with the latest Google tips and news, please prefer this version of the e-book: > click here!

From now on, this e-book will make a real difference to the online content available, as I’ll be giving you the keys to getting positive reviews on a regular basis! Indeed, the mistake we often make is to believe that there are only one or 2 methods to get reviews. I’ve listed 11 different methods that can be combined. The aim is to make you understand that the context and timing of the request are crucial, and I’ll illustrate this with several practical customer examples that work for Google My business, but also Tripadvisor, Facebook Page/Reviews and so on.

• Identify the best times to ask for advice
• Contactless QRcode notification retrieval
• Presentation of 17 scenarios and case studies for collecting positive customer reviews
• How to filter out negative reviews
• How to make your google rating shine on other digital media.

What’s more, thanks to this Ebook, you’ll have access to other tools and tutorials such as :

• Graphic mock-ups (Word format) to ask customers to leave a review
• How to generate a QRcode to ask your customers for feedback
• How to generate an RFID (contactless) card or chip for your customers
• and many more to come…

Thanks to this method, which reads like a recipe, you’ll be able to quietly make one or two optimizations a day in just a few minutes, and see the full benefit in just 1 month.

Remember the three simple benefits of the method presented in this Ebook:

1 /The more positive reviews you have, the more visible you will be in Google and the more customers you will have = Increase your monthly income #lesvitamines

2/ The more customers you have, the more you’ll increase your annual sales, and optimize your purchasing volumes and costs = Increased annual profits / dividends #legras

3/ The more positive the reputation of your establishment, the more buyers you will have for your business and its associated reputation. = +5% to 15% of the value of your business #lebongras
