Google My Business connects your

business directly with customers,

whether they're looking for you on

Search, Maps or Google+.

I recently claim the Google My Business

listing for “Welsh Machinery Sales” who

are a machine tool dealer located in

Mentor, Ohio.

Here’s what I discovered

After claiming the account, its branded desktop search result looked different. These results (marked in red) appeared almost instantly after I claimed & verified the listing.

New info appeared on the right side of a branded

search.

Google Profile / Maps

Google Reviews: more reviews will help your

business show higher in a local non-branded

search.

Google + most recent post

From the dashboard you can post to your:

Google Plus account

view local traffic

view website traffic

manage reviews

I was able to add

many photos to the

business listing.

When a branded search

is done from a smart

phone, the following info

will show up.

These links made it easy to contact the

business right from the phone.

Google Maps

When a browser searches for Welsh Machinery Sales in

Google Maps, the company contact info, & map shows

up.

Google Plus Page is similar to a FaceBook

Fan Page.

Claiming your Google My Business

listing is a great new source for potential users to reach your business.
