Just started a new business and need help with setting up your Google Business Profile? Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Create a Google account: If you don't already have one, create a Google account that will serve as the foundation for managing your Google Business Profile. You can sign up for a Google account by visiting accounts.google.com.

2. Visit Google My Business: Go to the Google My Business website (google.com/business) and click on the "Manage Now" button to begin the process of setting up your business profile.

3. Provide business information: Fill in all the required information about your business, such as the business name, address, phone number, website URL, category, and a brief description. Ensure that the information you provide is accurate and consistent with other online listings.

4. Verify your business: Google may require you to verify your business to ensure its legitimacy. The verification process typically involves receiving a postcard with a verification code at your business address. Follow the instructions provided to verify your business and complete the process.

5. Optimise your profile: Once your business is verified, take the time to optimise your Google Business Profile. Add relevant details like opening hours, services or products offered, high-quality photos, and a compelling business description. Include keywords that are relevant to your business to improve your chances of appearing in relevant search results.

6. Encourage customer reviews: Reviews play a crucial role in building trust and credibility. Encourage your customers to leave reviews on your Google Business Profile. Respond promptly to reviews, both positive and negative, to show that you value customer feedback and are committed to providing a great experience.

7. Use additional features: Google offers various additional features that can enhance your profile. These include adding posts, sharing updates, uploading videos, and enabling messaging. Explore these features and use them strategically to engage with your audience and keep them informed.

8. Monitor and respond: Regularly monitor your Google Business Profile for any updates, questions, or reviews. Respond promptly and professionally to any inquiries or feedback from customers. This demonstrates your commitment to customer service and can help build positive relationships with your audience.

9. Utilise insights and analytics: Take advantage of the insights and analytics provided by Google My Business to gain valuable data about how customers are interacting with your profile. Monitor metrics such as views, clicks, and customer actions to understand how your business profile is performing and make informed decisions to optimise your presence.

We get that it can be tricky and time consuming coming up with posts and a lot of our own clients have admitted that they completely abandoned their socials because of how long it took to come up with content.

We recommend always having a strategy in place when it comes to social media but if you're feeling a bit stuck or just need a bit of inspiration then we'd love to share this free download with you!

Hello, it's the face behind the account and the business 👋

If you don't already know me, my name is Mary and I am the super proud owner of The Marketing House. When you choose to work with us, you'll work directly with me (promise, I'm super friendly!)

We often get asked what our process is and we like to make sure we're super transparent so we're all on the same page.

1. We get to know each other through a free 30-minute consultation. This is a casual chat where I get to know your business, what you need help with and understand some of your ideas and goals for the short and long term. We can do this virtually or if you're located on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane, we can meet over a coffee.

2. We provide a detailed proposal and quote with all of your options based on our chat. We're super transparent so it's the perfect time to review all of the details we've provided and let us know if we can clarify anything.

3. Once your proposal has been approved, it's time to get to work and pitch our ideas to you! Depending on the scope of work, we'll schedule a detailed strategy meeting and provide mock-ups and ideas to help you visualise the end result.

4. We'll work with you consistently to ensure we are all on the same page. We've got an open door (or phone) policy and will be on hand to answer any questions and make sure we're on track to provide your deliverables.

If you've been wanting assistance with your business (no matter how big or small), please let us know. We'd love to help! ✨

With all the exciting things happening here at The Marketing House, I thought I'd pin this post so you can get to know a bit about us and how our team can help your business!

✨ I started The Marketing House after working within various industries as a Marketing Coordinator. I loved everything that it involved and I was often the all-rounder who could go from assisting in a photoshoot to running an event, booking bus, radio and billboard advertising, designing magazines, scheduling social media content and everything in between.

✨ As my career naturally progressed, I saw an opportunity to work directly with small businesses and be a resource to those who didn't have the kind of support that larger businesses had. I found a real passion in being the person to call if someone needed help with something they didn't have experience in but knew had to be done to help achieve their goals within the business.

✨ Whether it's for one task or you're wanting help in the longer term... Or you want someone to meet every month to get things ticked off your list or are happy to have someone on call to help - we work within your business, the way you want.

Ultimately, our goal is to drive meaningful results and we'll do that by working with you and being a part of your team - on your terms. If you'd like to chat or book in a free 30 minute consultation, please message us. We'd love to help and can't wait to connect with you!

Looking for ways to increase your engagement rate? Try the tips below or let me know which ones you already implement for your business.

- Consistency is key! This applies to all aspects of your account - consistency in posting, branding and how you interact with your audience. Utilise scheduling apps that let you plan in advance and ensure you have a consistent feed.

- Engage with your followers by liking and commenting on their posts. This helps you build a community and creates relationships with others.

- Understand your audience by seeing what they resonate with. Do they love seeing your story updates or are they engaging with your reels a lot more? Tweak your strategy to suit what your audience loves.

- Utilise different content and take advantage of different features e.g. stories, reels or lives. See what works best for you and like the tip above, see what resonates with your audience.

- Use a strong call to action. What is it that you want people to do after they've seen your post? Do you want them to visit your website, sign up to your offer or leave a review? Be clear and let them know what they need to do.

- Don't forget to check in on your insights to see what's working and what isn't. There's no point in wasting time creating a specific type of content when you're not receiving the engagement you had hoped for.

If you need help with increasing your engagement rates, feel free to get in touch with us using the link in bio. We're here to help ✨
