Why Your Google My Business Profile is a Must-Have in 2025

1/2/2025

0 Comments

 
One of the most overlooked yet powerful tools in your digital marketing arsenal is your Google My Business (GMB) profile. Let’s dive into why a GMB profile is crucial, how to make the most of it, and how v2 Graphics & Marketing can help you keep it updated for success.

What is Google My Business?
Google My Business is a free, user-friendly tool provided by Google that helps businesses manage their online presence. Think of it as your digital storefront. It showcases essential information like your:
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Operating hours
  • Customer reviews
Your GMB profile ensures that your business is visible on Google Search and Maps, making it easy for customers to find and connect with you.

Why Do I Need a GMB Profile?
A well-optimized GMB profile offers several advantages:
  1. Boosts Local Visibility:
    When potential customers search for products or services near them, a complete and optimized GMB profile ensures your business appears prominently in local search results.
  2. Increases Foot Traffic:
    Your GMB profile connects to Google Maps, providing directions to your location. This drives foot traffic while simultaneously enhancing your online presence.
  3. Drives Trust:
    An updated profile with customer reviews builds credibility. Potential customers are more likely to trust and choose businesses with a well-maintained GMB profile.

Why Should I Dedicate Time to Updating My Profile?
An outdated or incomplete GMB profile can lead to lost opportunities and frustrated customers. Regular updates help ensure:
  • Accurate Information: Your customers can easily find your current address, contact details, and business hours.
  • Positive Engagement: Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews, and respond to all reviews (both positive and negative) to show your commitment to customer satisfaction.

What Should I Post on GMB?
GMB isn’t just about static information—it’s an interactive tool. Here’s what you can post:
  1. Updates, Offers, and Events:
    Keep your audience informed about the latest happenings in your business, from sales promotions to special events.
  2. Visual Content:
    High-quality photos of your products, services, or team add a personal touch and help grab the attention of potential customers.
  3. Behind-the-Scenes Content:
    Give customers a glimpse into your day-to-day operations to build a connection with your brand.

What Are the Benefits?
A well-maintained GMB profile provides valuable insights. You can track:
  • How users interact with your profile
  • Which posts generate the most engagement
  • How customers find your business
These metrics allow you to refine your strategy and improve your results over time.

Holiday Traditions in the Kitchen

12/11/2024

As the Christmas season and the new year quickly approach, we find ourselves preparing our pantries and planning menus to ensure we can enjoy our favorite holiday recipes. As I'm sure it does with your holiday gatherings as well, food plays a big role in our celebrations, and we’re excited to share some that have become beloved staples in our homes.

Monkey Bread: A Christmas Morning Must-Have
Monkey Bread is a Christmas morning staple in both Valerie and Rhonda’s households. The gooey, pull-apart bread is the perfect way to kick off Christmas morning, and it’s a recipe we both hold dear. (Recipe pictured below.)

Russian Tea: A Spiced Holiday Favorite
Russian Tea is a warm, spiced drink that has become a cherished tradition in the Veleba household, thanks to Rhonda’s brother-in-law. It’s not only a comforting beverage for hosting family but also a treat for Aaron’s staff at his school. The aroma alone brings a festive spirit to any gathering.

Brownie Trifle: A Dessert Favorite
When it comes to family gatherings, Valerie’s Brownie Trifle is always requested. This decadent dessert, with its layers of brownies, pudding, and whipped cream, is a standout dish. And if you ask Rhonda, it’s one of her absolute favorites—perfect for any holiday table.

Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls: A Melt-in-Your-Mouth Delight
Valerie has perfected the recipe for these soft, buttery Copycat Texas Roadhouse Rolls, complete with the famous cinnamon butter. They’re a hit among family members and a must-have addition to holiday dinners.

Pickle Dip: A Must for Pickle Lovers
For a family of pickle enthusiasts, Pickle Dip is a non-negotiable at gatherings. This tangy, creamy dip is an easy crowd-pleaser and a favorite snack to enjoy.

A New Tradition: Kringla
This summer, we added a new tradition to our holiday lineup: Kringla. Under the guidance of Valerie’s 89-year-old grandpa, Sterling, we both learned to make this Norwegian cookie. Until then, we were only consumers of Kringla, but now we feel confident in mastering this family tradition. It’s one we’re excited to continue for years to come.

For us, the holidays are about more than just the food—it’s about the memories and connections created around the table. These recipes are more than just dishes; they’re traditions that bring our families together and remind us of the love and laughter that make this season so special.

What are your favorite holiday recipes? We’d love to hear about the traditions that make your season bright!

From our kitchens to yours, we wish you a holiday season filled with delicious food, cherished traditions, and joyful moments.
