different businesses that fit the description
3. It shows a map detailing location, hours of
operation, phone numbers, addresses, links to
their websites, and more

Reviews as Much as Personal
Recommendations
Here’s a Snapshot of Your Google+ Listing

Insert a Picture of
Their Incomplete
Google+ Listing
and/or How Low it
Ranks
Potential Profit Leaks
Here are the 3 Main Problems:

Your company’s listing is unclaimed and
incomplete
Your company’s listing is buried on page 6 or
higher with relevant local keyword terms
You have 2 reviews – one good and one negative,
which could hurt credibility
Here are Your Competitors Listings

Insert a Picture of Their
Competitors’ “Better” Google+
Local Listings and/or Rankings
Competitor Analysis
Here Why Theirs is More Profitable:
Consumers will see their listing before they see
yours due to higher rankings
They have all of the pertinent information that
consumers would be looking for during a search
They have several positive customer reviews that
will grab more attention than your listing
Consequences
Pitfalls of Not Using Google+ Local:
 You miss out on an opportunity to
generate new local leads
 You miss out on an opportunity to gain
more online exposure for your brand
 You let your competitors out-do you in
terms of trust and credibility
What Next?

 Create a plan to claim and
complete your Google+ Local
profile
 Incorporate conversion-boosting
features such as videos, photos,
images, special discount offers, etc.
 Make sure your listing is welloptimized to show up higher in the
search results
