Google Business Profile – Some Interesting Figures

Google Business Profile is a powerful tool that can transform how you drive customers to your local brick-and-mortar business and further develop trust with new and existing customers.

Although GBP has been around for a long time, it has grown in its importance as more users use search engines to find information about a local business. This was even more so during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Also, internet users now use the word “searching” interchangeable with the word “Googling.”

Google is only of the Search Engines available but without doubt it is the leading search engine. With an estimated 5.4 billion daily searches and a 92% market share. That means it’s extremely likely that the target market is present on Google, and that market is possibly looking for a company’s products and services.

Here’s an interesting statistic. Almost half of all Google searches (46%) include local intent, with phrases such as “near me” or a city or neighborhood after the search term. As we live in Chester, Cheshire, North West, near to Merseyside, near to North Wales, people may well search for something like, “estate agents Chester.” This is known as a keyword phrase. And this particular keyword phrase attracts around an average of 3,600 searches per month.

What about “Chester restaurants?” A very impressive average monthly search figure of 33,100.

Healthy search figures indeed. And wouldn’t businesses like to be near the top, or at the very top, of these searches?

What Topics Will Be Covered
