Tips to Maximize Your Google My Business Presence

Leverage Your Bio for SEO
Use your GMB bio to load up on keywords:
For example, if you're in real estate, make sure to include “Realtor” and “Real Estate Agent” in your bio. Also mention neighborhoods, service areas, and achievements relevant to you.
Google uses this to recommend YOU.
Post Consistently = Stay Relevant
Post closings, listings, market updates, and client stories regularly.
Upload 30+ photos and name them with keywords!
Aim for 1–2 fresh reviews per month (or more!).
Create Local-Focused Content
Post blogs or social posts like:
- “Best Time to Buy in Schaumburg”
- “Compare Arlington Heights Schools”
Build Website Authority
Add 400 to 600-word blog posts monthly:
- “Moving to Des Plaines in 2026”
- “What to Expect in Barrington’s Market Next Year”
Optimize ALL Online Profiles
Ensure bios, photos, and contact info match across:
Zillow, Realtor.com, Yelp, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram.
Get Quoted – Become a Local Expert
Write for local blogs, join Chamber lists, and get featured in media.
Google notices when others recognize your authority.
Stay Consistent Everywhere
Use the same name, phone, address, and hours across all platforms.
Even small differences hurt your Google visibility.
