What is Google My Business?
Google My Business (GMB) is a free tool for businesses to manage their presence on Google. A high quality GMB profile is a powerful way to help patients find your business. Your Google My Business account determines how your business appears on the search page.
Why is it important?
The info added to your GMB account appears in your Knowledge Panel (see right). This box includes a picture of your clinic, business reviews, address, hours, phone number, and links to your website. Due to it’s size, it’s often the first thing people see after they click “Enter” on a search, so it’s important that it contains correct information to positively highlight your clinic and to provide potential patients accurate information, which increases site traffic and visibility.
What are the benefits?
By adding Solv as a manager of your Google My Business page, we can help you increase search visibility and help drive patients to your clinic. We can:
Ensure business info consistency across your online presence (operating hours, address, phone number, etc.)
Highlight to potential patients that they can book online and direct them to the right links, and
Ensure that your happy patients are sending their reviews to Google directly, improving your 5-star rating
Google’s algorithm considers all of these factors when choosing what businesses to display to patients as they search. Let’s get started!
How to Setup Solv with your Google My Business Page
Owners of Business Profiles can invite users to become owners and managers. Each person can have their own access and they don't share sign-in info. Owners and managers have different levels of access to the profile.
Only owners can add or remove users.
Managers can remove themselves from a profile.
