Alright, so in this video we are going to discuss why posting on your Google My Business is so important. So in this query here we see on Google someone searched for digital marketing company Germantown, Maryland and if you notice they provide a bunch of results over here, move me out of the way. So in these results, obviously Flash Consulting is one of them. And if you notice right here we have this. What does a digital marketing company do every month? This is a video that I've created that you've seen. And if you notice other places, you can select services that you provide, you can select other things that describe what you do. But what Google is pulling from this is the actual related to your search. And this is a post that I did back in October 26th, which today it's November 29th. So a month ago, what does a digital marketing company do every month? So this video that I posted on our Google My business has been indexed by Google. So Google is pulling content that I've posted and putting it in their search results, saying that this is I think what you're looking for. And so if you notice this is why posting on your Google My Business in my opinion is better than Facebook, better than Instagram for local service businesses because Google is indexing this, using it in their search algorithm. So if you don't know how to post on your Google My business, what you do is you go to Google My Business, the back end. So google.com business you go to posts here and then you can click this little blue button and you can post an offer or what's new. You can upload a picture or video, write a post and then you can select a call to action button. And if you notice, Google will pull this information and tell you how many views you got, how many clicks, all that kind of stuff for other local service businesses, they'll get thousands of views and clicks on their posts. But as we've saw before, what's really important is that Google is indexing whatever you're posting on their platform to use in their search engine results page. So hope this helps be sure that you're posting on your Google My Business because it helps so much with your search rankings. And if you like content like this, be sure to like and subscribe.
