Why Your Business Can’t Afford to Ignore Google My Business – and Why Think Menai Is the Fix You Need

Why Your Business Can’t Afford to Ignore Google My Business – and Why Think Menai Is the Fix You Need

Too many local businesses ignore Google My Business – a free tool that can boost your visibility, reputation and sales. Here’s how Think Menai’s £250 GMB optimisation fixes that.

Why Your Business Can’t Afford to Ignore Google My Business – and Why Think Menai Is the Fix You Need

In the digital age, visibility is currency. Yet every day, local businesses overlook one of the most powerful – and free – tools at their disposal: Google My Business (GMB). Often treated as an afterthought, many listings are half-filled, outdated, and lacking reviews. But here’s the truth: if you're not taking GMB seriously, you’re leaving revenue on the table.

The Opportunity You’re Missing

Google My Business is your digital storefront. It's often the first thing a potential customer sees when they search for services like yours. A properly optimised GMB listing can help your business:

  • Appear in the local “3-pack” on Google search results
  • Show up in Google Maps for relevant nearby searches
  • Display vital information like hours, contact details, and reviews
  • Encourage customer engagement via posts, photos, and Q&As
The Result? Your Competitor Wins

While your listing stays static, your competitor down the road is showing up in every relevant search – because they've invested in local SEO. They’re getting:

  • More visibility
  • More calls
  • More direction requests
  • More sales

You, on the other hand? You’re invisible.

What’s Holding Businesses Back?

There are three common culprits:

  1. Neglect – Many don’t realise they have a listing, or they set it up once and never touch it again.
  2. Lack of content – No posts, no photos, no updates. It looks abandoned.
  3. No reviews – Without positive, recent feedback, your business appears untrustworthy or inactive.

"Within 2 weeks of Think Menai updating our GMB, we jumped into the top 3 results and saw a 40% lift in calls. One of the best investments we’ve made."

Why GMB Deserves the Same Attention as Your Website
