How To Use Queries Used To Find Your Business To Your Advantage

In order to trigger your Google maps when a customer is searching for a product or service like the one you offer, Google uses a list of signals to tell if the business is the right fit for a specific keyword or keyword phrase. These signals are usually: Your website, Pictures in your Google maps listing and reviews. Google looks through your listing into your website to understand what pages/products/or services are there. If the keyword the user typed in was in your local service area and the keyword matched information on your website, Google will show your maps listing. Furthermore, if you have pictures in your map listing with the keywords the user typed in, that can trigger the maps listing as well. Lastly, reviews have all kinds of keywords in them. Having a review from a customer that has your most important keywords in it will also help Google show your listing. They will even bold out keywords in your reviews that match the phrase the user typed in.
