Top 3 reasons to claim you business profile?

1. It's completely free!

2. You get to control your business image.

3. It will get you more customers ... if used correctly

#1 It's completely

Everyone loves free stuff! especially when you are starting a new business

To list yourself on most search engines other than Google it's usually free as well.

#2 Control your image

Did you know that if you don't claim your business on Google, random user can make suggestions? Such as... your store hours or your phone number?

It's true!

If you don't claim business you are leaving it to the public to set it up!
