It’s critical your pizzeria is visible to the thousands of people searching on Google for pizza. We’ve asked our VP of Search Engine Optimization, Ratish Naroor, to answer the most common questions we receive around Google My Business listings. Our 500+ team with leading experts that can support your pizzeria with the latest restaurant technology.
What is a Google My Business Listing and why do I need one?
Google My Business is a free tool for small to medium-sized businesses to manage their online presence, including Google Search and Maps. By verifying and sharing your business info with Google, it helps customers find your pizzeria and your story. 4 out of 5 consumers use search engines to find local information, and the majority turn to Google to do it; in fact, over 92% of mobile searches conducted worldwide happen on Google search.
Why should I let someone else manage my Google My Business Listing?
Managing a GMB listing requires time and Local SEO expertise. Your listing contains 20 data fields that impact your ranking on Google search. Some of the maintenance requirements include:
- Accurate and up‑to‑date info in all data fields
- Replying to negative and positive reviews
- Making Google Post & Offer updates
- Monitoring search results and optimizing data
- Answering customer questions
- Uploading images and videos
- Optimizing data for common search terms
- Maintaining service and delivery area information
Is Slice stealing my customers when they manage my GMB listing?
No, never. Slice maintains strict policies and practices when managing GMB listings for its partners. We confirm the partner is willing to make us a co‑owner of their GMB listing and we’ll always make any changes or updates at the partner’s request.
