Pull in More Valentine’s Customers with a Quick Google Update

February 7, 2024 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Local Search

Last-minute romantics are scrolling for ideas now. Skip the seasonal hook, and they choose someone else. Add a simple update to reel them in.

What it is: Google Posts for limited-time offers right in search results.

How it works: Create a special with start and end dates plus a themed photo. A florist posts roses at 20% off through February 14, pulling in clicks fast.

What to do this week: Add one Valentine’s special with dates and a themed photo.

Why it matters: These stand out to local searchers, driving walk-ins during peaks. Google’s post data confirms they boost engagement, leading to sales and repeat visits. One bakery doubled their holiday traffic this way.

Shoot for 15 more direction requests this month in your stats.
