Having a digital presence is very crucial for a business these days. By saying digital presence I not only mean having a website or a landing page but a Google business profile as well. This business profile shows whenever someone googles your business. This can possibly help you reach more audience and potential customers.
If you don’t have a business profile, you can create one with Google My Business and list your business on Google. Back in June 2014, Google released Google My Business app to manage the business profiles on mobile devices. This app recently got updated with new options and features to make it more easy to create and update a business profile. Let’s check it out.
