#1 advice for main street businesses: UPDATE GOOGLE MY BUSINESS

Google My Business is the main street business owner's avenue to being found online!

Visit your dashboard at google.com/business to manage your listing, view insights, create an ad and respond to reviews.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Here are some tips for choosing photos to add for your business profile on Bing. You can add up to 10 photos.

• Add two photos of your business as seen from outside. This will help customers recognize your business as they drive by.
• Add photos of your business interior, for example, your seating arrangement. This can help customers know what to expect when they enter your business.
• Add photos of specific services. For example, if you are a restaurant, add photos of your popular cuisine or menu items. (Restaurants can also add menu URLs separately.) A health club could add photos of their equipment.
• Add photos of awards or events. However, skip private pictures or photos with illegible text.

To ensure photos are displayed correctly on Bing, we require that all photos must be at least 480x360 pixels. Larger images, up to 10MB, are allowed provided they meet the same width : height ratio.

Main street businesses who want to be listed in the Google and Bing business directories come to BTG Solutions for assistance.

This is a low cost service with a huge long-term impact on audience reach! ​
