ts. Most of the time businesses aren't even asking for reviews, they're hoping customers will just do it and it doesn't happen. I recently began working with a physiotherapy practice that had three google reviews after eight years online. It was an area they never paid any attention to. I simply asked the client to say to patients if you're happy with our service it would be great if you could leave us a google review. Very simple. No pressure. It takes five seconds to ask and after 3 to 4 months they had over 60 google my business reviews from happy customers that make their business look amazing online. In this lesson we have covered a lot. You have learned how to optimize your google my business listing correctly, avoiding common mistakes. To give you an edge over your competitors. A well optimized google. My business profile is the most important step for repairing and local pack results. In the next chapter, we're going to learn how to actually rank our website and google my business listing through offsite S. C. O. This is the part of the local S. C. O. Process that's going to boost our website and google my business listing in the search results.
