Adding someone to help manage your Google Business listing is an easy process

Google Business & SEO

Did you know your Google Business Profile’s ranking can affect the ranking of your organic website? Simply put, the link on your GBP acts as a very strong backlink to your website. The higher your GBP ranks on the maps, the more positive impact this link has on your website ranking. If you are working on your SEO strategy, be sure to pay extra attention to your Google listing.

Keep your email and personal data safe by adding a Google Business manager

Aside from the time-saver, and potential business growth, adding a Google Business manager will also help you keep your personal information private. In the past, a business owner would need to share his personal google password, giving the manager access to his emails. By assigning a Google Business Manager the new user will only have access to the Google Business listing.
