Your Google My Business listing (now Google Business Profile) is one of the most important - if not the most important factor - when it comes to showing up in local search.
Recall that "Local Search" or "Local SEO" is aimed at optimizing and building content around your Google My Business listing, whereas "Traditional" SEO is about getting your web pages ranked in Google's organic search listings. If you'd like a refresher about "Local SEO" vs. " Traditional SEO" we have a detailed blog post that reviews the two approaches.
And if you don't have a Google Business Profile listing yet, stop what you are doing and set one up right now. Here's how to set it up.
Google will update your Google Business Profile listings based on suggestions from users and Google's internal data. Thus, it's critical that you keep an eye on your GBP listing to make sure that incorrect edits (or malicious edits) don't damage your brand reputation or affect your patients.

Highlighting your content to keep your Google My Business profile active with posts. Those of you who've used Google My Business posting features before know that Google will often send you a reminder that your most recent GMB post "expires in 7 days" - and suggests that you post again. While Google hasn't explicitly stated that businesses that post frequently on GMB will have better visibility than their competitors, anecdotal evidence suggests that in some instances, this may be the case.
Thus, as part of GMB process we take snippets of existing content from your website about subjects you wish to promote, and we publish monthly on your Google My Business thread.
