Our clients, "Merseyside Loft Conversions" asked us to create a website to bring in more local cleints for their Loft Conversion company. We did so, but we also helped them set up their "Google My Business" account. By doing so, and with our help in configuring the account correctly, they were able to, after a short period of time, appear on page one of Google.co.uk for their main search terms, "loft conversions Merseyside" and "loft conversions Liverpool". This led to regular enquiries for their services both by telephone and via their contact form.

By creating a "Google My Business" account you are letting Google know that your business exists and you are letting them know where you are located. So, when someone located in your area searches for the services you provide, Google knows that you provide those services and will return you in the search results.
