Smart Tech Tricks to Put Your Business at the Top of Google Searches

January 10, 2024 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Dead profiles get buried in post-holiday searches. A quick tech refresh can push you ahead. Let’s use simple tools to make yours stand out.

What it is: AI for better photos and descriptions, tied into Google’s local ad features.

How it works: Pick an AI like Canva to enhance two images or descriptions, then load them into your profile. A gym owner might sharpen workout pics to draw more eyes in results.

What to do this week: Use an AI tool to create two refreshed visuals or descriptions and add them to your profile.

Why it matters: Active profiles get prioritized in searches, as Google’s own data shows. That means higher clicks, stronger customer trust, and more foot traffic turning into sales. A local shop saw 15% more views after similar updates.

Goal: Target a 10% jump in clicks this month from your profile dashboard.
